About this property

Abbey Church 17, Pluscarden

Pluscarden is a large one bedroom apartment and it is located on the second floor (No Lift). It benefits from a large open plan kitchen/dining room/reception area containing some of the large and impressive exposed sandstone columns which support the vaulted roof of the former church. The living room is decorated in a bold warm modern style, furnished with two comfortable sofas. The master bedroom has a double bed and a built in wardrobe. There is a further sofa bed in a large ‘study’ room off the main reception which can sleep a further two guests. It’s the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing getaway. All guests receive a Highland Club welcome pack which includes a fruit bowl, wine and Highland Club clotted cream fudge.
The Highland Club is a collection of 4 and 5 star self catered apartments (serviced daily) set in 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the south shore of Loch Ness, also cradled by the Caledonian Canal and the River Tarff.
It occupies Grade A listed gothic buildings, originally the 1729 English fortification which became St Benedict’s Abbey. Located in the centre of The Highlands, Fort Augustus Abbey provides comfortable, private apartments as a relaxing base from which to explore Urquhart Castle, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Skye, Ben Nevis and whisky distilleries.

The Highland Club is unique, steeped as it is in centuries of Scottish history, and a special, relaxing place to stay – either on a self-catered holiday or as an owner of one of the luxury residences. Amenities exclusively for use by those who are staying with us include an indoor pool, steam and sauna, the club lounge and snooker room.

Within the grounds there is a tennis court and many other facilities including outdoor chess in the Cloister Garden, table tennis, badminton, croquet, boules, 5-a-side football and a cricket pitch with nets. The Boathouse Restaurant with its exclusive Loch side view is available both to guests and the local community alike.

Explore the grounds, walk along the shores of Loch Ness, stroll along the Caledonian Canal watching boats go by. From here the opportunities are limitless – from the more typical activities of walking, cycling, golf, sailing, fishing, shooting, archery, wow balling, ski-ing (in winter) and bird watching to the more unusual such as dog sledding and Munro Bagging.

Fantastic Place
From the moment I saw it online it looked amazing and I couldn't believe it was in our price range, on arrival we were treated fantastically and shown around what was available before going to our apartment which I must say was far better than the photos showed, you could stay here a month and feel right at home, excellent location on the banks of Loch Ness

Wonderful relaxing stay at The Highland Club
We stayed for 4 Nights in September. This was our first stay at The Highland Club and we were very impressed by the welcome we received from Sarah , the location on the banks of Loch Ness, the standard and cleanliness of the apartment and facilities.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
In 2003 The Santon Group, a respected developer of listed buildings, purchased the dilapidated Grade A listed buildings and grounds of St Benedict's Abbey. A £30 million conversion of the site into The Highland Club was embarked upon and finally completed in 2012.

The Santon Group is dedicated to preserving the special character and many beautiful features of the Abbey, its cloisters and the great towers that make it such a landmark. However, inside a programme of total renovation and discreet building has transformed the original spartan accommodation into 97 distinctive one, two and three bedroom apartments. In addition, there are 12 charming cottages in the grounds.

Today the austerity of monastic life has given way to the warmth of modern leisure living.

The Highland Club is managed by a team of helpful on site staff who are overseen by the ever friendly Highland Club Manager, Mark Dallas.
