Raven Wing 2 Apartment- Highland Club Scotland

Nice roomy and quiet apartment in a great location next to the canal in Fort Augustus. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen including a washing machine.

Heating in bathroom did not work which meant that it stayed cold and a bit damp (see also next point). Bedroom and bathroom doors could not be left open which was a hassle. Wardrobe door was hard to open and close. Having to take out the rubbish at the end of the stay did not align with the cost of the apartment at over £230 per night

The location and surroundings are excellent. The flat is very well equipped in relation to entertainment, cooking and washing.

The flat is very tired and tatty overall which is not obvious in the listing photographs. Attached photos show some aspects of this however each room had a number of issues. Given the cost of the accomodation, slightly disappointing overall. Living/kitchen area: • Sofa bed fairly uncomfortable to sit on, particularly tiring as the week went on. Buttons missing from cushions (later found in a drawer). • Overall very clean, however bottle caps left on breakfast bar. • Hastily filled holes where previous screws/picture hooks were located. • Water damage around windows sloppily painted over. • Water damage to wooden floor close to windows. • Damage to edge of living area door, resulting in splintered wooden edge. Entry Hall: • Floor very creaky and flooring worn. • Mismatching overpainting behind entry door. • Scuffed walls. Bathroom: • Very noisy/rattling extractor fan, with huge lumps of dust blown out when first switched on. • Chipped bathroom sink. • Rusting bathroom radiator. Bedroom: • Water damage around windows, poorly painted with overpaint onto window frame. • Exposed screws where deer head hangers were missing. • End tables of poor quality (thin metal) and condition. • Very noisy and ill-fitted wardrobe doors, difficult to open and close. • General scuffs on walls. • Slightly jarring and random no smoking sign on the bedroom door, which looks out of place.

£30 to check in which is a bit cheeky but whatever

It was self-catering, location was excellent and central to the village.

The seating in the sitting room was not comfortable and it was a shower over a bath which is ok for fit people but I have a spinal condition which made getting in and out tricky but it was a great shower.

Die Lage und das Ambiente

Place was amazing to stay, bedding amazing, all kitchen equipment top notch.

Alarm went off in apartment so we had to call maintenance. He said alarms where a nuisance as so temperamental but didn't need as all other safety equipment in apartment covered everything. So in our eyes get rid then, because at end of day it does frighten you especially as we where just sitting there and had no cooking appliances on.

It is a beautiful property and our apartment was well appointed with everything we needed. It was a great base for us to explore the area and to just relax.

Beware - the little Spar in town charge “tourist prices” for basics. The pubs are cozy but some of the kitchens close early.
