The location was perfect, a walk to the main street with food and shops. Apartment was very small quarters and the doors were difficult to lock and open. Unfortunately the dryer was not operational. The entire place was amazing and beautiful to walk around.

This is a cute little apartment right in the Highlands Club, a former abbey. Great view out the back of the south shore of Loch Ness. Fort Augustus is a nice little quiet town but also a good place stay and branch out and see much of the countryside. Andreas is an excellent host and keeps the place nice and clean.

We had a wonderful experience at this lodging- great location and beautiful.
It would be better if there was a place to eat breakfast on site.

Our 6 day stay was nothing short of perfect. The Scriptorium is an amazing little apartment within a beauntiful and wonderful compound. We had every comfort of home right at our fingertips. The kitchen was fully stocked, the water pressure was perfect for showers, the bed was warm and comfy, wifi and cable were available,
and being able to do laundry was great.

From the last-minute booking request by me – through the quiet moments of saying goodbye to this spectacular condominium and property – everything was absolutely perfect. Communication with the cheerful, thorough, and generous owner was a breeze, as was the communication with those who manage the property. The beauty of both the accommodation and property itself have to be seen to truly understand how utterly special this retreat space is. Without hesitation, highly recommended.
Tips for Other Travellers:
The Boathouse restaurant on the property has exemplary service and quite good food; I only visited there a couple of times, but the view itself makes it quite worthwhile. The condo's kitchen is lovely and completely outfitted. Although there was a nice selection at the village shop, I chose to make one trip to Inverness instead (the under-used "South Ness" route is divine!) and it worked a treat.

Der achttägige Aufenthalt im "Scriptorium" war die "Krönung" unseres ersten Schottland-Urlaubs. Das Maisonette-Appartement in dem alten Kloster ist geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es verfügt über viele liebevolle Details, ist komplett ausgestattet und sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das beeindruckende Ambiente der alten Klosteranlage bietet ständig neue Entdeckungen und Ausblicke.
Die Lage direkt am Loch Ness ist ideal und bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zu Wanderungen in der Nähe und zu Ausflügen. Sehenswürdigkeiten sind reichlich vorhanden.
Wir haben uns absolut wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Auch der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr freundlich und angenehm.

Die Anlage bietet einen ehrfürchtigen, spektakulären, romantischen und gleichzeitig einzigartigen Einblick in das Leben der damaligen Zeit. Unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Moderne ist es fantastisch gelungen, Altes und Neues miteinander zu verknüpfen. Das Scriptorium ist gemütlich, liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche bietet alles, was man benötigt, um es sich zu zweit gut gehen zu lassen. Der Blick zum Loch Ness entschädigt auch für in Kauf genommene Regentage...

Mein Mann und ich waren Mitte August für eine Woche Gast im Scriptorium in Fort Augustus und sind immer noch ganz gefangen von den ausschliesslich positiven Eindrücken.
Wo fängt man am besten an? Mit der Ferienwohnung selbst: Eine absolut liebenswert und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft mit besonderem Stil und Charme. Alles war pikobello in Ordnung und sehr sauber. Das Bett hat uns besonders gefallen .... eigentlich wie zu Hause - kuschelig und gemütlich. Wir haben sensationell gut geschlafen oben im "Türmchen". Die Küche ist vollständig eingerichtet und auch das Badezimmer lässt keine Wünsche offen. Schon bei der Buchung hatten wir einen sehr netten Kontakt mit dem Vermieter. Anfragen unsererseits wurden sofort beantwortet. Die Lage der Abtei am Ufer des Loch Ness ist wie ein schöner Film. Wir haben es so genossen, morgens, abends und wann immer Gelegenheit war, auf der Bank zu sitzen und zu entspannen. Die Umgebung bietet Wanderwege, interessante Orte zum Anschauen, wir sind bis Inverness mit dem Bus gefahren, was uns sehr gefallen hat und Fort Augustus selbst ist ein absolut charmanter Ort, schon allein wegen der Schleusen und den vielen kleinen und grösseren Booten die den Caledonian Canal rauf und runter fahren.
Die Beschreibung des Scriptoriums haben unsere Erwartungen nicht nur erfüllt, sondern sogar übertroffen. Das gemütliche Zimmer des Highlandclubs mit dem Pooltisch, den Sofas und den wieder einmal so tollen Kunstfenstern lud abends oder bei Regen dazu ein gemütlich zu lesen oder auch den kostenlosen wifi-Zugang des Highland Clubs zu nutzen.
Wir würden das Scriptorium-Appartement auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen, noch lieber würden wir es allerdings selbst ganzjährig bewohnen ;-)
Restaurants und Pubs sind in Fort Augustus ebenfalls vorhanden ... eine Hand voll, aber wir haben überall - vor allem im Bothy und Lock Inn - gemütlich, ursprünglich und vor allem gut gegessen und getrunken.
Die Bauarbeiten rund um die Abbey (auf die hinreichend hingewiesen wurde) haben uns zu keiner Zeit belästigt - im Gegenteil. Die Gänge waren sauber, und wir fühlten wohl und sicher trotz offener Türen am Tage - im Gegenteil: die friedliche Atmosphäre der Abtei hat uns immer ein gutes Gefühl vermittelt. Nachts waren die Türen verschlossen und Fort Augustus, Loch Ness und die Bewohner der Abbey schlummerten wohl alle friedlich ... wir jedenfalls auf jeden Fall.
Wir freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch und sagen herzlichen Dank
