About this property

Abbey Church 4, Forsyth

Abbey Church 4 is an exceptional apartment and is the largest apartment at the Highland Club, located over three floors of the Abbey Church.
It has multiple features including a stunning decked 1300sq ft roof terrace.
It has an original stone spiral staircase and numerous historic stained glass windows.
It benefits from a much sought after view of Loch Ness from the terrace.
Arranged over three floors it has three large bedrooms with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe.
It can be accessed either from the ground floor of the Abbey Church or externally via the spiral staircase.
The apartment has the benefit of being within the converted Abbey Church where you will find the swimming pool, spa facilities and gymnasium.
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.

A phenomenal location and amazing experience to stay in the former Abbey--we highly recommend it.
We stayed here because it was recommended in a Facebook group I belong to and they were right--it is terrific. Our unit had stained glass windows from the Abbey, a spiral stone staircase, and views of the Loch Ness--but also had all the modern amenities for our family of six (including three teens and a 4 year old) to spread out. Staying here felt like a lifetime bucket list event--however, I did not even realize it was on my "bucket list" until a few months before our trip.

Amazing experience with centuries-old character and modern amenities.
We stayed at the Highland Club because it was recommended in a Facebook group I belong to and they were right--it is terrific. This particular unit is absolutely fabulous with stained glass windows from the Abbey, an original spiral stone staircase (there are also regular stairs), and views of the Loch Ness from a private deck. It had all the modern amenities for our family of six (including three teens and a 4 year old). My kids loved the foosball table and I was very happy to have a washer and dryer. Staying here felt like a lifetime bucket list event--however, I did not even realize it was on my "bucket list" until a few months before our trip. We hope to be able to return again!

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.
