Set in a beautiful and unique setting, the place provides a great place to stay. Lack of lifts does make it harder to get to the top floors especially with luggage. The only issue were the very heavy fire doors on the bedrooms that made a lot of noise when opened and closed.

Beautiful property, comfortable rooms

What a magical place to stay!! We had such a great time here. The grounds were nice to walk around, the gift basket was amazing and the staff were friendly! We only wish we could have stayed longer. The only downside was the parking. There is plenty with an extra car park down the ways but with all our luggage we wish there were more closer, also another guest had taken up two spots which was a bummer

The Highland Club is in a old abbey. I has been renovated into a modern and very comfortable place of lodging. The rooms are modern, but the facility creates a feel of being in an ancient cathedral. It was very nice. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

The Highland Club apartment we stayed in was wonderful. My family was upset with me for not booking it for a longer stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable, it was very quiet and walkable to the whole downtown area of Fort Augustus. We stayed on the third floor and had to carry all of our luggage up the three fights of stairs but we survived. I marked the amenities down by one only because we tried to book a time at the pool and sauna and were unable to since it was already booked. It would have been helpful to know in advance that we had to book use of those facilities.

Wonderful!

We had appartment 11 in the Monastery (North). A really lovely appartment and perfect for a few nights away in the Highlands. The room had literally everything you could possibly need! The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. I know its luck of the draw.... but the weather was absolutely perfect for our stay and it just made it all the better! The only thing to mention is that there is no lift, but luckily that didnt bother us. We certainly got our steps in for the days we were there!

The apartment was fabulous. It was very comfortable and had everything you needed. The welcome hamper was magnificent and we indulged in all its goodies.
Marty was really helpful and gave us a tour around the building and facilities and took us to the apartment and showed us where to park so that we were close to the apartment for carrying our luggage.
Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay. We hope to return sometime next year and we would have no hesitation in recommending The Highland Club.

My wife, and I are on holiday with the in-laws who have never been to the UK. We flew into Inverness and drove the pleasant drive to Fort Augustus. We drove onto the property a little early, but thought to just grab a bit to eat at the Boat House until the timing was just right.

We were greeted by Marty. After ringing to find reception. (The signs didn’t clearly indicate to -keep going- back toward reception, they were also difficult to read for someone that needs a bit stronger contrast in type face).

The property was amazing! We loved our apartment and just how equipped it was. Fully prepared for carry-in food prep. It was just the respite we needed. We loved being able to do a load of laundry, while also exploring the property! We were in the Abbey. My MIL had jokingly said “awww can we stay just one more night please please please?!” lol.

I think it would be a nice touch to have a parking chart, two people in our party have pretty bad knees. And back by reception seemed congested. But overall it was still worth the extra steps!

I definitely should have booked another night at The Highland Club. It is a great location for Loch Ness, we did a nice drive to Isle of Skye and the Fairy Pools. We also did a photoshoot on the property and my little nerd heart was in a wizarding haven.

One of the coolest and most unique stays ever... Staff was helpful, knowledgeable and only made our extraordinary experience that much more enjoyable.. Highly recommend. We were in AC12... It was maybe nicer than some of the apartments I actually lived in.. The grounds are breath taking... They have an unbelievable game room.. and a gym &pool we did not visit. Right off Loch ness.. the boat tour is a few yards away, u don't even have to cross the street... Highly recommend.

The gift basket that was left for us was filled with ample food, snacks, and wine for our visit. The town surrounding The Highland Club is small, cute, convenient, and everyone made you feel welcome.

Incredible setting & historic building. Nice pool, steam room and sauna. Well-appointed apartment with plenty of space. Great spot for exploring Loch Ness & Fort William/Glencoe/Inverlochy. We were a little worried about no breakfast on-site & didn’t know if we could get to a grocery store the first night, but the Highland Club graciously provides you a welcome basket with cereals, biscuits etc, coffee & tea plus fruit & milk. The petrol station in town contains a well-stocked general store with everything you could want, including frozen foods, fresh pastries & alcohol. The history of the building is wonderful. We stayed over Halloween & it was the perfect, spooky backdrop.

The Highland Club is easily one of the best stays I've ever had -- a scenic, luxurious, and historic setting at the edge of Loch Ness and in a cute small town with restaurants and shopping. The room itself was quiet, spacious and relaxing. They offer a variety of leisure activities, including a gorgeous swimming pool. The restaurant on the property is on the water and has good food and stunning views. You can't ask for better from a stay at this beautiful place.

You may not find Nessie, but this is a great find

What a beautiful place, the apartment was spotless, with an amazing welcome pack. Takes some time getting used to where everything is but that is part of the charm of the place. Make sure you book the pool as soon as you can to avoid disappointment, they say that only 10people will be in pool at one time, not true, people will abuse this as there is no one to check you in or out. Also I think its a bit cheeky to as you to pay to swim after 6pm Thur-Sun, should be included.

This property was not done justice by the mere images, a camera can simply not capture the beauty and comfiness of the place.

Beautiful place

Friendly staff to greet us and show us around.
Apartment was absolutely lovely, had everything we needed and more. But, lots of stairs!
The pool and sauna/steam room is lovely, but showers and changing area is lacking.
Pool/ snooker room is great, but pool tables are too close together.
Garden grounds ate stunning. Very central location. Would definitely recommend!

Historic stairs…

We wanted to experience a somewhat historic place and The Highland club fit this. Situated in what was once a Fort, then became an Abbey & school… it has an interesting history. The property is lovely and the location in Fort Augustus cannot be beat. We had a 2 bedroom flat- it was spacious and well appointed.
Check in was challenging. Evidently, there are 3 different groups that manage the property. There is no clear “check in” area. We found an office for one group who phoned the correct office- then waited several minutes for the person we needed to come to us. That person was friendly and gave us a complete tour of what was available for us at the property- which is substantial!
Another thing to note: no lift. Our flat was on the 3rd floor so we had to haul luggage up 4.5 flights of stairs… we just didn’t expect that.
Kitchen was fairly well appointed with lots of pantry items included.
We wish they would have provided a map of the buildings & grounds on a single sheet of paper (or easily accessed app/download). It was easy to get lost in the buildings.
The restaurant on the property is managed by a different group. We stopped in for a pint- but we’re made quickly aware that staffing is an issue- the servers were all very young and inexperienced and the man who seemed to be the manager just seemed like he was scolding them as opposed to training. The location, again, is the best reason to go there, but we didn’t eat there. The Bothy pub provided better service.

The property was amazing and Marty was an excellent host! The rooms were clean and the gift basket and milk in the fridge to get us started was a nice touch. The beds aren’t the super comfy - but everything else is perfect and great walking distance to the town.

Beautiful place to stay in the Highlands! Lauren gave us an orientation to this beautiful abbey - we had no idea of the amenities there which we did not have time to fully enjoy. Would be an awesome place to stay at if you had more time to relax. Keep in mind no elevators to carry luggage - we were on the third floor.

Excellent place, gorgeous location, nice facilities. All the apartments are different, so I can only write about 3 Abbey Church. It's very spacious and looks lovely but a few things aren't that practical, like the sofas don't face either the TV or the view, and the kitchen table has a glass insert that just collects crumbs that you can't get out. Location on the ground floor only 25m from the pool.

Location was great, right on Loch Ness. It was a great central location for our stay while exploring all over the highlands. This place has such a unique history and it was neat being able to see the features of the old abbey from within our suite. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great place to stay with kids, they brought a crib and high chair for the baby. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

Stayed in Abbey 2 which had a patio area onto the lawn facing loch ness. Didn’t have the features of the old building but the location was perfect for us.

The apartment was very well equipped possibly one of the best we have had with 65 inch tv, Joseph Joseph and Denny kitchenware.

The grounds are also stunning and we got very lucky with the weather.

Only marked it down for one issue. The mattress was solid which given the rest of the apartment was a bit of a let down.
