Description
The Highland Club is set within 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the southern shores of Loch Ness. It occupies the Grade A gothic buildings of the original 1729 English fortification, Fort Augustus, which later on were transformed into St Benedict’s Abbey. The Highland Club is a unique and heavenly place to stay – either on a self-catering holiday or as an owner of one of the magnificent luxury residences available for purchase.
The flat was clean and spotless. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, pots and pans, which was just a dream! We cooked several lovely dinners at home and had the most relaxing time ever!
The property is massive, well-kept and immersed into the green. It's the perfect place to detox from the chaos of the city and recharge your batteries. Further, it comes equipped with a big swimming pool, steam room and sauna. We visited during a quiet phase and had the facilities for ourselves!
I cannot recommend this place more and I cannot myself wait to be back very soon!

The location on the Loch was beautiful. The area itself is beautiful.
What we didn't like: so.. if everything is so good.. why only 4 stars? When we were looking outside the living room, and the guest rooms, we found ourselves looking at .. a cemetery.. a grave yard. OMG. That was a deal breaker for us. In the ads that was never mentioned. On the first night my young daughter was afraid to go to sleep with that cemetery outside her room window. That was a huge turn off.
Furthermore, one should pay attention to the fact that the apartments are part of a complex that was abbey. The filling was a bit spooky.
Despite being a bit on the pricey side it's worth every penny. If you are in need of a place to stay in the Highlands, the Highland Club Monestary is definitely a place to check out. Highly recommended.
