Nia Roo Lodge, Fort Augustus

Nick and Fran Walker extend you a warm welcome to Nia-Roo Lodge. This beautiful granite stone-built Victorian residence dates back to the mid 1800’s and reflects the character and splendour of that era. The house is situated just a very short walk from the centre of the picturesque and historic village of Fort Augustus, through which runs the Caledonian Canal.

It is here that boats and pleasure cruisers can be seen as they navigate through the ‘staircase’ lock system designed by Thomas Telford, and venture out into the 24 mile expanse of Loch Ness (where the ‘monster’ lives!). The Village is home to a wide choice of restaurants, bars and quaint and interesting shops.

Fort Augustus is situated in the centre of the Highlands and is an ideal location from which to base your holiday. After a generous and hearty breakfast, our guests are set up for a day of sight-seeing by car, with the Isle of Skye, Perthshire, The Black Isle, Aviemore and the West Coast all being accessible from here, for a full and satisfying day. Upon your return to us in the evening, you can enjoy a meal in our beautiful dining room and perhaps a ‘wee dram’ in our comfortable lounge bar.

All our rooms are tastefully decorated and fully en-suite, and have colour television, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer is provided, along with luxury bathsheets and handtowels. All rooms are heated independently and can therefore be controlled individually, so your room temperature can be as warm or as cool as you wish. One of our rooms is on the ground floor and this makes it particularly suitable for our less able guests.
