About this property

Monastery 16, Lochview Loft

Giving spectacular views of Loch Ness this apartment offers an ideal retreat for those who love the great outdoors whilst appreciating the qualities and high standards of modern living.

Views from the other side of the apartment look over the stunning Cloister Gardens with their unique stonework, arched windows and majestic towers of The Abbey.

Lochview is on the top floor of the Monastery – a unique and private location. However, as there are no lifts in the Highland Club, it may not be suitable for the less able. Free Wi-Fi available in the apartment.

The stylish kitchen with its granite worktops is fully fitted with electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer and a full compliment of high quality kitchen equipment and utensils. The living area incorporates stylish wood flooring, a dining table and a spacious lounge area with comfortable seating and those beautiful Loch views.

A flat screen TV, DVD, CD player and table games are available for your entertainment. The apartment has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is also good sized twin bedded room with a separate bathroom. All towels and bedding are provided.
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.

Lici

Great base for exploring the Highlands, fantastic facilities and service
The flat was very thoughtfully equipped for cooking and was very clean. The hamper had more ingredients than we expected, which helped with getting dinner on for the family. We could easily get other ingredients from the shop a few minutes walk away. We enjoyed using the pool and gym. It was a great location for exploring the area. The views over Loch Ness were stunning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The winter discount made it much more affordable.

Fabulous place to stop
Peaceful, relaxed with a nice restaurant and bar a few steps away, fabulous views of the loch and super close to tours and a little town with shops right at the end of the grounds. Lovely walks. Just the job.

Wonderful accomodation for a young family
The Highland Club has thought of everything, from the welcome pack to the gift bags for the children, we were made to feel very welcome. The little touches like having sport equipment available in the room and having a straightforward check in/check out process is really helpful when travelling with kids. The location is both beautiful and convenient, with food and activities easily accessible.

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.
