About this property
Luxury Self Catering Apartment with Swimming Pool in the Grounds of a Monastery on Loch Ness
Caladh (meaning 'Haven' in Gaelic) is a very large one bedroom apartment and is the epitome of luxury. A stunning living room with views down Loch Ness and the quality and comfort of its furnishings with their traditional Scottish influences, make this is a retreat within a retreat. Don't be misled by the description 'one-bedroom' ... this is an exceptionally spacious property.
The flat's large entrance hall is accessed from the old cloisters and has a heated 'boot -room' area (for those wet days that can happen in Scotland) and toilet/shower room.
As you enter the body of the flat from this entrance hall there is a well-equipped open-plan kitchen on your left (including a Nespresso coffee machine for coffee-heads) and, on your right, steps lead to a raised double-height living room where two large Gothic-style windows allow spectacular views of Loch Ness beyond manicured lawns and mature trees. The immediate sensation is stillness and silence. (You just know that you can write that book in this place)
The luxurious master bedroom (all fabrics and furnishings are from Anta Scotland) is situated on a mezzanine level. Large double-height curtains are opened and closed from the bedside so that you can be cocooned in comfort at night and view Loch Ness from your bed first thing in the morning.
The bathroom is opulent with both a large shower and a large bath (with top quality Hansgrohe fittings) as well as under floor heating.
Adjoining dressing area with two large double wardrobes and a separate 'snug' room ( with a second TV and internet access) complete the picture.
Whatever your need ... the perfect romantic break. the place to celebrate a special wedding anniversary, to 'retreat' and recharge, write that book, climb a Munro, get fit, chill out and reflect on life ... there is no place better than this apartment.
Our property manager will meet you on arrival and show you to your accommodation where a welcome pack will be waiting for you.

Caladh : a unique living space within a former Benedictine monastery

About the host
Hosted by Joanne Nicholson

Built in 1876, The Benedictine Abbey that's now home to The Highland Club is one of the oldest buildings in Fort Augustus and one of the most stunning buildings around Loch Ness. For many years, Benedictine Monks ran the Abbey as a school. There are many recorded sightings of the Loch Ness Monster by the Monks over the years whilst they stayed there.

The nearby ruins of Urquhart Castle, Cawdor Castle and the world famous Eilean Donan Castle are all within an hour's drive. Not forgetting the Loch Ness Visitor's Centre and the monster itself....
