About this property
Resting in the peaceful village of Invergarry in the Scottish Highlands, is this first-floor apartment, 4 River Court. Enjoying countryside views from the balcony and just moments away from historical attractions, hillwalking and fishing, this two-bedroom apartment is ideal for a small family of four friends. Be greeted by off-road parking and step into the entrance hallway, where you can house your walking boots and jackets ready for exploring your surroundings. Climb upstairs to the first floor to discover the open-plan living space, bathed in natural light through the balcony windows and offering stylish décor. Rest on the sumptuous sofa with a cup of tea in hand and rustle up tasty dishes with the electric oven and hob to assist you. When meals are served, gather at the glass dining table to tuck-in and why not pour your favourite bottle of wine out to toast to your getaway? After an adventure in the great outdoors, enjoy a hot shower or sooth your muscles in the tub for a moment of relaxation. When sleep calls, there is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with bedside lamps so you can escape into a book before drifting off to sleep. Awaken with a steaming cup of coffee and a home-cooked breakfast or if you fancy a break from cooking, take a short stroll to Invergarry Hotel for a treat. Unveil the past of the village at Invergarry Castle, which was once the seat of Clan MacDonell, and stroll along Loch Oich for calming water and pontoons; bring your fishing gear to fish for brown trout along Loch Oich, Loch Garry or Loch Lundie, all surrounded by stunning scenery! You can also take advantage of water sports such as canoeing for a great adventure, but if you'd prefer to stay on land, there are plenty of hillwalking routes to explore such as up to Victoria View Point and Cow Hill Trail. For splendid views of Loch Ness, visit the settlement of Fort Augustus, here you can meander around the Grade A listed building, The Highland Club or tee up at the expansive golf club. Nestled on the shores of Loch Linnhe, is the town of Fort William, where budding historians can spend an afternoon at the West Highland Museum or take on rock climbing at the 3 Wise Monkeys Climbing Centre. Within easy reach of the town, you'll find the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct, an iconic railway featured in the Harry Potter films; a brilliant photo opportunity along the Glenfinnan Trail! 4 River Court is also within easy reach of Inverness, a bustling city with a wide selection of shops for some retail therapy and delicious eateries to dine out. Why not complete your holiday with a day trip to Isle of Skye for magical scenery, hikes and fairy pools? For a much-needed break to the Scottish Highlands, choose 4 River Court. EPC Rating: Band C
The village of Invergarry is nestled adjacent to the River Garry in a tranquil setting. A hotel, the remnants of Invergarry Castle, and a pine forest are all available in the village. The Invergarry Highland Games are held on the first Saturday in July, and the Great Glen Way passes through the town, allowing walkers to trek from Fort William to Inverness without ever setting foot on a road. Fort Augustus, located at the southwest end of Loch Ness on a section of the Caledonian Canel, is within driving distance and offers a variety of stores, pubs, and restaurants, while the towns of Fort William and Aviemore are also worth visiting.

It might be good to clarify that it is a rear unit and does not face the road. But once inside, everything about the place was excellent. Very clean and well maintained. Thank you for the great facility! The following is not for publication, only to let owners know of light issue: (I was not able to get the lights in the bathroom mirror to work. I pulled the string inside the medicine cabinet, but no light came on. Perhaps the bulbs are out?).

Perfect location for hill-walking and visiting the Scottish Highlands. Hotel next door is available for meals and there is a restaurant a short distance along the road.

We found it warm & comfortable with most things we needed provided. A better kitchen knife would be most useful. There was only a tiny paring knife & a very long carving knife, both of which were totally blunt & so not at all effective. However we managed, another time I would bring a knife just in case. The only other thing to mention is that the bath/shower drainage hole was almost completely blocked, water taking a very long time to drain away. I had to remove a very large amount of matted hair & 'gunk' from the drain, There was a high strength drain clearing gel (well used) in the cupboard so I think this must have been a problem for a while! Perhaps mention to the cleaner that this should be regularly cleared of hair? Overall a good place to stay which would be improved with these minor changes.
