Useful Information During Your Stay
WiFi
We would point out that fibre optic is not yet available in the local area and that, as we are in the Highlands (amongst all of the mountains), the strength of the signal fluctuates throughout the day. Generally speaking the signal is stronger in the lounge of your apartment.
Alternatively, WiFi is also available (for free) in The Club Lounge where a better signal can be found as this is one of the lines that British Telecom have already upgraded to a faster speed (but not fibre optic).
BIKE HIRE
It might help you to decide whether or not to bring your bicycles when you know that there is a bike hire facility in Fort Augustus. Please check directly for daily rates for adults, children and for a “tag along two child’s trailer”. The price includes a helmet and a lock. You can pick up maps of local routes in the Fort Augustus Visitor Centre.
If you are bringing your own bike, we have a padlocked container to store your bikes on site, however you must bring your own lock to secure your bikes to the stands within the container.
