Luxury Self Catering Apartment with Swimming Pool in the Grounds of a Monastery on Loch Ness

St Andrew’s Chapel is one of the premium properties within a Benedictine Monastery know as The Highland Club. Conveniently located near the spa and swimming pool, it is exceptional in every way. This spacious 2 bedroom property has an abundance of original features, in particular beautiful stained glass windows depicting Scottish Saints and large stone arches that have been thoughtfully incorporated into the room design. The majestic rib vaulted ceiling and large ornate stone mullioned windows give a feeling of spaciousness and presence. The kitchen is stylish and well appointed with a large island and beautiful dining area.

The bedrooms are located on the first floor, accessed from the hall. The large galleried master bedroom with en-suite bathroom projects over the living area, allowing views of the stained glass windows and changing light throughout the day whilst still affording privacy. There is a twin bedroom on this level, which has access to a shower room on the ground floor. All rooms have been beautifully designed and tastefully furnished with great attention to detail.

This unique and beautifully furnished 2 bed apartment was formerly St Andrew's Chapel. Designed by Pugin the Chapel has elaborate gothic features, this differs from the main Abbey Church which was designed in Norman style during a later period.

The Highland Club itself is set in 20 acres of private gardens on the shores of Loch Ness. In the heart of the Highlands, this sympathetic conversion is an ideal base for exploring all that Scotland has to offer.

A Welcome Hamper is provided for 7 night stays and a small Welcome Pack for short breaks. 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.

Fantastic Experience
Fort Augustus was great and we enjoyed a couple of meals and walking around. The Highlands Club was much more impressive than we understood and we also wished we had planned more time on property. The view of Loch Ness alone was mesmerizing. Our particular apartment was in the Abbey with incredible architecture and stained glass windows. The apartment had everything including an incredible kitchen and dining area. We knew from the pictures that the decor was pretty specific. Furnishings including the beds were getting old and in need of upgrade. Overall, Fort Augustus and the Highland Club are very positive long term memories for our family.

Excellent accommodation and overall stay!
The property is even better than advertised. Perfect luxury get away for two, we spent the first half of our honeymoon there and we’re very comfortable. The facilities are great and well equipped, great location right on the shore and close to the local amenities. Will definitely be back! (second bedroom small and would be slightly awkward with four adults due to main bedroom being a mezzanine- but perfect for kids)

Beautiful accommodation, beautiful setting
Stunning apartment, extremely well equipped, very unusual. We enjoyed the location on the shores of Loch Ness, within a short stroll of shops/pubs at Fort Augustus, and the facilities offered in the Abbey complex - swimming pool, billiards room and gym. Brilliant base for touring that area of the Highlands...

Just as wonderful as it appears in the photos
This property is as wonderful as it seems in the photos. The property manager, Mike met us as we drove up. He gave us a tour of the property and was helpful throughout our stay. The Chapel rental was all light up on our arrival and absolutely gorgeous. We appreciated the provisions provided. The beds are on the firm side but Mike provided us with a pillow topper. We enjoyed the swimming in the heated pool, playing ping pong and wandering the Abbey. The town is a short walk away, along with boating activities. We enjoyed dining several times at The Boat House restaurant. Would suggest dinner reservations, especially on the weekends. We would highly recommend staying at this very unique property.

Love and Hate
No one from management ever talked to us, maintenance man was of no help whatsoever. I had to reset hot water tank twice each day every day just to have heat and water. The electric curtains did not work and haven’t worked for 6 months according to maintenance man.. The sauna and steam room did not work, other than that the place was beautiful.

Funky, modern chapel designed to please
Ancient walls and windows—ultra modern amenities! There were 2 reasons I gave this property 4/5 stars was because there were stairs and no elevator, AND the smaller bedroom’s bath was down another flight of stairs. If you’re physically fit, it’s perfect! Great location for exploring the Highlands and good food in the Boat House restaurant on the Highland Club property.
