David Grindlay purchased this apartment in 2009
Why David Grindlay chose Scottish Highlands & Islands
Love the location, great touring centre, close to the pubs and bars of Fort Augustus. I love to sit by the Caledonian Canal with a drink and watch the boats pass down the through the lock staircase in the centre of town (about 5 minutes walk from the apartment).
Loads of nice walks or bike rides available locally and slightly further afield, such as the beautiful Glen Affric.
What makes this apartment unique
Wonderful renovated abbey with all mod cons in a beautiful location.
Reviews
4.8 based on 40 traveler reviews
Comfortable, well appointed and well maintained.
The flat was very comfortable, contained everything that we needed during our twelve day stay and, being part of The Highland Club, allowed us access to all of its facilities such as the heated indoor pool and sauna. Fort Augustus proved to be an ideal base from which we were able to make day trips to many parts of The Highlands.
Fantastic place.
This is a super apartment. The abbey is a wonderful peaceful atmospheric place to stay. Loved the pool in the chapel, the pool room, table tennis, outdoor chess. It felt a bit like being at Hogwarts. Would recommend this apartment and would happily stay there again.
Perfect!
This place is perfect! Perfectly appointed, perfectly located, and perfectly like home away from home~ The Bed is very comfortable and the flat has everything we needed. The central location couldn't have been any better. We used it as our base camp to visit Inverness, Isle of Skye, and Fort William. The downtown is the perfect size for an evening stroll and the Moorings (other side of the canal) had the freshest fried fish n chip. The Abbey grounds are very picturesque on Loch Ness and well cared for. Can't go wrong with this gem and can't wait to go back and stay here again! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. P.S. The wine and shortbread was a lovely touch.
Lovely apartment in a picturesque location!
Very convenient apartment with all necessary amenities. We recommend spending a whole day exploring the grounds. There's lots to see and do!!!
Great location
Our family of three enjoyed exploring the grounds of the Abby and the nearby village and lochs. T'was a central place to day trip from and a comfortable and clean place to come back to.
This was a lovely apartment in a great location.
The apartment was beautifully clean and had everything we could want. My teenage daughters slept well on the sofa bed and our room was really comfortable. We made good use of the facilities and loved exploring around Fort Augustus. A perfect half term weekend away.
Map
4 star rated (by Visit Scotland 2010) luxury self catering apartment condo with use of shared private indoor pool, sauna & steam room on the banks of Loch Ness. The apartment is located within the historic St Benedicts Abbey (now called The Highland Club) which has been sympathetically upgraded to modern standards but retaining most original features. The Highland Club is sited in 20 acres of private grounds with many on-site amenities including outdoor barbecue areas and the Boathouse Restaurant. Visit the local restaurants, bars and hotels which are only a five minute walk away.
Watch cricket on the pitch across from the apartment (summer only) or have a game of tennis on the private court, all within the Abbey grounds. Have a drink by the canal, while watching the boats pass through the 5 locks and swing bridge in the heart of town. Cruise on Loch Ness from the pier just outside the Abbey grounds. Maybe you will see the Monster. Explore the extensive local path network or visit nearby historic Urquhart Castle.
Visit at Aonach Mor ski and bike area (27miles South), take the gondola to the summit for fantastic views over Fort William and Loch Linnhe. Try the cross country and downhill mountain bike trails as used by the UCI World Championship.
Go dolphin watching - boats leave from Inverness (55mins North by car) to go dolphin watching on the Moray Firth, probably the most reliable place to spot dolphins in Scotland.
Located in the Heart of the Highlands, the apartment is less than hours drive to Eilan Donan Castle, Isle of Skye, Cairngorm National Park and many other popular destinations.
