Caledonian Cabins

The beauty of a break in this area is being able to easily wander around the surrounding area in search of spectacular landscapes. But there’s enough stuff nearby to keep you busy if you prefer organised amusement too. Fancy a couple of hours with the clubs? Head to the nine-hole Fort Augustus Golf Club (20 minutes) – the nearby village also has a handful of recommended restaurants for post-game meals, like The Boathouse eatery with its lochside views. For panoramas from higher up, leap in a cable car and whizz up to the top of the Nevis Range (35 minutes), then come back down to earth for a look at the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition’s displays on the myths and history of the famed lake (50 minutes). Another well-known structure sitting next to water is Eilean Donan Castle (also 50 minutes), a building on an island circled by stunning scenery at the meeting point of three vast sea lochs. Drop by the coffee shop here for a cuppa and a cake to sustain you through a segway tour and archery session with Glencoe Activities (an hour and five minutes) before retreating back to your woodland base for a rest.
