About this property

Abbey Church 21, Anacail

This stunning penthouse apartment on the third floor of The Abbey Church (No Lift).
A large 2 bedroomed duplex apartment enclosed by a private balcony on 3 sides affording beautiful views both up the loch and over the mountains. As an added bonus it features a secret room - it’s very own organ loft converted into a spectacular hideaway with its own UHD 4K 75” screen and a PS4 games console. Screen a cinema night or choose to watch the World Cup, Wimbledon, Golf, Rugby or any other sport, or play a game and be up close and part of the action.

This beautifully appointed apartment would make anyone used to the finer things in life feel completely at home. From the bespoke solid walnut floor supplied and fitted by royal warrant holders Weldon to the bespoke walnut cabinetry custom designed and created by NEJ Stevenson, also royal warrant holders and cabinet makers extraordinaire, exuding quality that has to be seen up close to be admired and appreciated.

If you're used to starting your day with the perfect cup of coffee from your Nespresso machine you don't need to miss out if you're staying in The Penthouse - bring your favourite flavours with you or fall in love with a new one here.Put your culinary skills to good use with the aga which sits below a unique and ancient fossil splashback which at 50 million years old even pre dates Fort Augustus as well as Nessie! Then dine on a table made made of 50,000 year old Ancient Kauri wood.

The Anta sofas, carpets and curtains bring a modern Scottish twist to the interiors and enjoy original artwork by notable Scottish Artists Owan Williams, Sandra Hugill and Martin Ridley whilst sipping a wee dram of complimentary Dalwhinnie Single Malt whisky.

Should the mood take you whatever the weather, the 'Big Green Egg', the original ceramic bbq, on your private balcony can be commandeered to roast a whole chicken, pheasant or other game any time of year.
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.

Nice Stay
My family and I loved our stay in the penthouse. The views were stunning. Our son thought we were staying at Hogwarts.

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.
