Kathleen B. Jul 27, 2024 03:31:17 AM
Summary: We loved the relaxing lovely setting. The ability to hang out and have time with friends in a nice home and places to walk about was wonderful. We did find it challenging to shower daily with 4 adults when the only shower was in a bathroom off a private bedroom. It would be helpful to put a shower in the downstairs bathroom for all to use. Even if it is just a modified faucet with a hanging shower hose. Thank you for letting us stay in such a wonderful spot.

Summary: My sister and I stayed in #10 for a week while we toured various areas in the Highlands. The town is lovely and easy to reach via a short walk. Luis was very helpful in getting us situated in our cottage and showing us the charm of Highland Club. We toured the area by day and enjoyed quiet evenings 'at home" in front of the fire - a peaceful and relaxing visit!
Aug 14, 2023 09:19:52 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay very much. House was clean and comfortable, although a measuring jug and working tin opener would have been helpful! The facilities were good but hard to get a game of snooker as often busy. Having to book swimming in advance is understandable but meant we missed one slot due to a longer walk than planned.

Summary: 7 of us came in two cottages for a break between Christmas and New Year. We had a great time, cottages were lovely and Cosy with everything you need. Beautiful setting, we all used the facilities, booking the gym and pool was straight forward and a great sized pool for going with family. We will definitely be back.
Inge v. Aug 8, 2022 09:08:03 PM
Summary: We loved the cottage. Really quiet and peaceful place. A short walk to the loch and the touristic spot. A supermarket and coffee places on walking distance. Good swimming pool for our kids (5-6). Just a good place to stay!

Summary: Cottage 10 is exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and clean. Great location. The Abbey grounds are beautiful; walk into town is very nice. And the walk from the Abbey along the South Loch Ness Trial is wonderful! Also, great location for day trips west to Isle of Skye and north to Inverness and beyond.

Summary: Spacious cottage! Ideal location for exploring the local area...park your car at start of your break and walk.
Alison A. Jul 24, 2019 03:12:04 AM
Summary: My husband, teenage daughter and myself were broken hearted to leave Dalwhinnie Cottage after our 7 night stay. The accommodation was excellent, really comfortable and suited all our needs! The Highland Club and its central location to the village of Fort Augustus and the Caledonian Canal was just perfect for us - apart from a couple of daytrips to Fort William and Inverness - the car hardly moved as there was so much to do at this location. We also received a very warm welcome from Charles and found the other staff very friendly and helpful. We really can't wait to return back to Highland Club!
Debbie G. Sep 24, 2018 08:41:42 PM
Summary: We were very pleased to find this location for our holiday. We were even more pleased when we arrived and found it was exactly as advertised. The Dalwhinnie Cottage is presented very well. The Abbey it self is beautifully presented. The grounds well kept and very pleasant. Will be recommending to both family and friends.
