We recommend this lodge as we had a brilliant time. The lodge was lovely and clean it had everything you would want. It's got a lovely view as you look out the windows . We took our dogs and they enjoyed the walks though the forest as we did to . Fort Augustus is a great place. The people are very friendly. Lovelys walks along the canal. Would definitely go back again.

We enjoyed our stay Wildwood. Great location - especially if you have a dog. Spent most days walking in the woods and then popping down to the village for coffee and cake and a wander round the gift shops.

Pure relaxation in the middle of nature
The property is on the edge of Fort Augustus, surrounded by trees. You can be in town in a few minutes by car. The house was our starting point to explore Scotland. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Highlands. The house is rustic and integrates wonderfully into nature. The living room with fireplace on the first floor was our meeting place every evening to evaluate the day and plan the next day. We didn't have much contact with the owner as everything was settled and there were no further questions, but the times that we had contact the replies were always quick, helpful and friendly. We would definitely book the house again if we make another trip to the Highlands.

Fabulous location and spacious property, comfy beds, well equipped .
Would stay again. Could do with a deep clean though . Was very dog smelly when we arrived, bench outside can’t be sat on as dangerous so no where to sit.

The location and quietness of this property was better than expected. Strolling into the forest every morning with the dog was bliss
