About this apartment rental
No.1 & 2 The Old Convent are both ground floor apartments which have been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard but keeping some of the character and adding modern touches such as central heating, insulation and double glazing! No.3 & No.4 are first floor apartments. The Old Convent is situated in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus on the southern tip of Loch Ness, which is virtually the geographical center of the Highlands. A perfect base for exploring the spectacular scenery and amenities that the area has to offer.
We, Felicity & Chris are local and live in what was the priests quarters when the building was originally a church and are able to suggest many wonderful day trips combining superb scenic drives and walks, with castles, brochs and ruins that you probably won't find in any guide book.
Fort Augustus is the perfect place to relax with a short walk to the center of the village where you can find grocery shops, butcher, post office, ATM, petrol station and several pubs and restaurants. You can take a boat trip up Loch Ness or simply chill on the canal side watching the boats negotiate the locks!
The Old Convent was originally built as a church in 1842, then converted into a convent 'St Scholastica's Priory' in 1891, the nun's took residence in 1892 until 1922 when the remaining nun's were moved to Holme Eden Abbey. Some of the nun's are buried in the graveyard at Fort Augustus Abbey, half a mile from the convent on the shores of Loch Ness.
We are close to main road with the convent woods to rear giving you privacy, and a fantastic view of golf course and Ben Tee to front.
If you wish to bring your dog please ask first. We accept most small/medium dogs but the are not allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture. We have spare dog towels if needed.
The property is ready for guests arrival from 4pm. We ask that guests leave by 10am on day of departure as we need time to clean for next guests.
If an apartment is already booked for your preferred dates please ask as there are four apartments No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4

Really warm welcome from the hosts to this beautifully appointed apartment in a historic building just a short walk from Fort Augustus and the banks of loch Ness.
The hosts provided a detailed and up to date information pack with local walks and eateries. In short . We and our little dog loved it

This place was AMAZING! The renovation of this old convent was very thoughtfully and artistically done. The apartment was very well furnished and comfortable. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was gorgeous and the shower luxurious (we did not use the beautiful claw-foot tub), the kitchen was wonderful for cooking, and the dining room and living room were perfect. The view in the back of the place was lovely and quiet. The hosts met us when we arrived and gave us the rundown on everything and ideas for local places to eat and hike. The location is perfect for walking into town and heading out for hikes in the region around Loch Ness, Ben Nevis, and Glencoe. We walked into town for a dram of whiskey next to the Caledonian Canal and went out for a special dinner one night, but otherwise enjoyed cooking for ourselves using the new appliances. We also loved the convenience of using a combo washer/dryer in our own room. Overall, this was a wonderful stay with thoughtful hosts in an ideal location. We can't recommend it highly enough!

This property far exceeded our expectations. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful whilst not being at all intrusive. The property itself is beautiful, very well cared for and spotlessly clean. We would have no issue recommending it and hope that we will get the opportunity to stay again.

This was a perfect getaway from a very busy and active year. The accommodations and surroundings were magical. It may have been wet and windy however this never put us off in any way, especially coming back in the evenings after an extensive day trip to beautiful apartment and a cosy fire to warm up beside. I can’t thank Felicity and Chris enough for the amazing time we spent.
