About this apartment rental

Majestic two bed apartment, situated in The Chapter House of a Benedictine Monastery on the shores of Loch Ness known at The Highland Club. The Chapter House was a building in which the monks met daily, to discuss business and to hear a chapter of the monastic rule.This spacious apartment has an abundance of original features, in particular beautiful ornate flooring in the entrance hall and a magnificent wooden vaulted ceiling and bank of stone mullioned windows in the main reception area. The living area is located on a large gallery and comprises of an open plan lounge, dining area, kitchen and study. This room looks out over its own small private garden and many beautiful architectural features of the Abbey. The Chapter House works extremely well for group reservations when two or more properties are reserved; in particular The Sacristy which is located in close proximity. The very large antique dining table which seats up to 10 and large living area offer space for group entertaining.

Looking down from the gallery there is a sumptuous sitting room containing a selection of original art work and antique furnishings. From this beautiful room there is access to the garden with patio for alfresco dining. Both bedrooms are comfortable and well furnished with their own bathrooms.

A welcome pack is provided. Our property manager will meet you on arrival and show you to your accommodation. As a guest you will have access to all The Highland Club has to offer.

This holiday was amazing. We took over four apartments between 12 family members. We travelled from Manchester and Stirling. What an experience! We couldn’t have dreamt for anything more spectacular and what a setting. Everything we needed was here. Fort Augustus was such a busy little village with cafes, gift shops, a couple of pubs. We travelled out on day trips to Drumnadrochit, Fort William, Inverness, Urquhart Castle. Three of the party even climbed to the summit of Ben Nevis. The grounds of the monastary are just a dream with the loch, the river and the canal literally surrounding it. Oh, some of us went on a loch cruise and some on the speed boat cruise, great value and a great experience too. I would love to return as we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended.

The property overall is lovely, amazing architecture and the grounds are beautiful. The problem I had was the accessibility for my elderly parents. It’s probably my fault but the description says ground floor apartment, I did not realize it was actually two floors with the main sitting, dining and kitchen upstairs. It does say ‘ first floor’ but to an American that means ground floor. It was very difficult for them on the stairs. The main area , on the first floor is great, well equipped kitchen and comfortable living space. The little garden is pretty but we didn’t really have the weather to use it. The main bedroom was fine but the second bedroom is tiny , very cramped and hard to move around for two adults, also the furniture in there needs updating. I understand that fire doors are probably required but every door in the apartment is heavy to open and closes hard. It’s frustrating trying to move around when no door stays open, there needs to be some doorstops. All in all we enjoyed our stay but if you have any mobility issues it’s not for you.

We loved The Chapter House at The Highland Club. The entire property is amazing, and very interesting. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax upstairs, downtairs and outside in the private courtyard of The Chapter House. We only stayed here 2 nights and had busy days so we were only able to enjoy the property for the evenings. We wish we would have had more time here just to relax and enjoy the property. The location of The Highland Club is excellent...walking distand to restaurants, shops, pubs and of course the property is on Loch Ness, so just sitting on a bench watching for Nessie was part of each eveing and morning. We highly recommend The Chapter House as it is one of the few units on the main floor (no steps to haul luggage). The unit itself has a set of stairs with the 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, large living room and large private courtyard on the main floor then the kitchen and an open living/dining/office room with gorgeous windows and ceiling on the upstairs floor. This unit has plenty of living spaces for about any sized group. Check-in was easy if you follow the instructuons provided. Otherwise, may be difficult to figure out, but we had no problem as the instructions were on point. Ft Augustus has a handful of meal options, very limited after 7:30p (most kitchens closed at 8:00p). The Boatyard Restaurant is a beutiful place to eat. Food was mediocre, but worth a stop.The Bothy was better food and a more local crowd/pub. Decent shop nearby for supplies

Although we were just a couple of two persons, we certainly enjoyed the spacious old chapter house. Further it s a beaitiful area, with a very quiet golf course were we have played the 18 holes three times. It is a pitty that the Highland Park Club has no restaurant. Nevertheless the chapter house will be recommended!

The location was great. We stayed in the chapter house and it was definitely able to accommodate a larger family even having equipment for small children. We had a small miscommunication on our check in day but once we found the right phone number and were able to get into our room everything was great. It’s a beautiful, well maintained property with lots of wildlife and a short walk into town with some small shops and a gas station for snacks/food/gas/etc. The chapter house is a two level space. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are on the lower level along with an extra game/sitting room that leads out to a small private courtyard. The upper level has the kitchen with a large dining table and the tv with a couch and two chairs for relaxing as well. Everything was very clean. The Abbey itself is very cool to experience and the grounds are nice to explore with access out the back right into Loch Ness. We would definitely stay here again if we ever get the chance to go back!
