About this apartment rental

This exceptional split-level apartment in the Monastery Tower is truly unique. Beautiful original stone windows offer breathtaking views over Loch Ness. It has a stunning and private location on the top floor of St Benedict’s Abbey, a Victorian monastery that has been converted into luxury apartments. Stylishly decorated throughout, this property makes a wonderful romantic getaway.

Alternatively, it could be used for a party of four utilising the large sofa bed in the main living area.

The property is situated at the top of the grand stone staircase from the historic cloisters walkway. If you look at pictures of the Abbey, in many of them you will see a tall, square tower that stands above the rest of the building – this is where the Monastery Tower apartment is located.

In many of the apartments, and from the Abbey grounds itself, you will get some wonderful views of Loch Ness but the Monastery Tower offers truly unrestricted views over the trees and right across the water.

All of the rooms in the apartment are special but the highlight is probably the open plan living / kitchen area. A series of stunning arch windows work their way around this unique room bringing in much light and providing panoramic views of the loch and mountains.

Entertainment options include a flat screen TV with Freesat and bluetooth speakers for your phones and tablets. The fully fitted and well-equipped kitchen area features lovely granite work surfaces and the dining area has an oak dining table and four chairs.

Upstairs, the bedroom features a very comfortable king size bed, with windows overlooking the cloisters and a flat screen TV with an integrated DVD player for those lazy days.

Located next to the bedroom, the bathroom with its original quatrefoil windows and lovely views has a powerful built-in shower over the bath. There is also a second toilet located on the lower floor.

This welcoming apartment provides modern comforts and convenience whilst retaining many of its striking original features.

    The apartment is amazing at the top of the bell tower -76 steps! But well worth the climb. The old monastery is amazing to walk around and there is a beautiful billiards room and pool available to guests. You are also a short stroll to the lovely pubs and restaurants along the locks of Fort Augustus.Would highly recommend this apartment.

    UNREAL!!! we stayed in the monastery apartment which had unbelievable views, fully furnished kitchen. The whole property came with stunning amenities. The only room for improvement is with the pool you can only use it for an hour a day from 9-5 and need to prebook. Otherwise everything was perfect!
