Truly a special place
Such a beautiful spot! We so enjoyed ourselves in the Highlands. Struan could not have been a better apartment to relax in and enjoy the views of the Abbey and Lochness. The apartment is very nice and equipped with all you need. Fort Augustus is a charming town as well. Truly a special place

Beautiful unique apartment
We spent 6 nights at this apartment and have had a wonderful time.
The apartment is very spacious and well equipt. Lots of towels left for us to use and tea/coffee, milk and cleaning products which was very helpful. The grounds of the Highland Club provide plenty of activities and are well maintained. We made use of the tennis court - rackets were provided in the room and we also used the pool too.
The location is fantastic for exploring the Highlands and although we did quite a bit of driving, it was lovely to be able to walk into Fort Augustus and explore the local shops and cafes. Being such a short walk from the supermarket too is ideal if self catering. We took an evening boat cruise of Loch Ness which can be picked up next to the Highland Club. The boat cruise exceeded our expectations and was highly entertaining. We also hired bikes from the shop in the village which was excellent value and a nice way to explore locally.
I would whole heartedly recommend this apartment for anyone wishing to visit.
My only negatives were the shower didn't drain very well so may need looking at but otherwise this place was perfect.

Lovely apartment with fabulous views
The apartment was very spacious and very comfortable. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay - except the advertised 'full SKY package'. This was a minor irritation and overall we would very much recommend this apartment.

Beautiful location
This was a beautiful apartment in a beautiful location with a fantastic view of Loch Ness and the mountains beyond. We had a lovely week and would definitely recommend. Struan was a good size and fully equipped for a family. Warm and comfortable. The main bedroom can be double or singles and the second bedroom only double. Worth noting if you are going with children. Our teenage children had the main bedroom with en-suite and TV and we got the second much smaller bedroom! There are no significant negatives but just a couple of things to note to the owner. There are a few large marks on the carpet in the living area which were very noticeable. I assume they are stains and the carpet has been cleaned. There is no fan in the main bathroom. Limited wardrobe space in the second bedroom although no room for more. The pool area was lovely but small. Good idea to limit to only 16 (although that seems a lot for the pool size), but closing at 6pm is too early. If you are out exploring all day you are rarely back in time to use these facilities hence we only got to use them 3 times during our week by booking to use during the day.

A magical holiday in a converted monastery overlooking Loch Ness
I cannot imagine a more magical location. Driving into the grounds of the old Abbey took our breath away. The gardens, the tree lined drive, the Abbey itself, the views of Loch Ness, the quick path to town.....WOW!!! Then we entered our flat (Straun) and we were welcomed home. The suite had beautiful furnishings, tall ceilings, old architectural details and a modern kitchen and bath rooms. This made our stay perfect. We could not have picked a better place to stay in Scotland to explore the highlands!

Stunning Struan
The Abbey development has the most perfect setting on the shores of Loch Ness, and the 'Struan' apartment has one of the most beautiful views in the building.
'Struan' is unreservedly Scottish - with antler light fittings and tartan in abundance! The bathrooms are modern with quality suites, and the apartment was cosy, warm and comfortable.
The facilities available in the Abbey all added to the general enjoyment of our Scottish break.

Stunning location
The apartment is located in a most beautifully converted monastery, with stunning views over Loch Ness from the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. The master bedroom was a good size with a very well appointed bathroom and everything was spotlessly clean. The swimming pool/sauna/steam room were also very nicely appointed and just a short walk through the cloisters from our apartment, with bath robes provided in our room. Sadly, the oven didn't work properly and despite several phone calls and a visit from an electrician, the fault was never properly resolved during our stay. Since this is a premium self-catering apartment, we felt that this detracted from what was otherwise a lovely place to stay.

What a lovely spot!
Struan is a lovely place with unbelievable views of Loch Ness, right outside the lovely village of Fort Augustus. The combination makes it a winner. The property was impeccable, both inside and out. The managers were lovely and so helpful and full of great recommendations. The linens, towels and bathrooms were superior. The living areas and kitchen were stunning. I would stay here again, no question. It accommodated our family of five easily...the 13 year old on the pull out couch...and it was such a lovely place to come back to after a day of sightseeing. The grounds and surrounding property are so lovely and just strolling around and sitting by the loch on the benches was magical.

Our stay in Fort Augustus
During the end of May 2018, we had the pleasure of staying for six nights at the Abbey in Fort Augustus Scotland.
On our arrival we were met by a rather lovely "Scot" who showed us around the abbey and then on to our apartment. The apartment that we stayed in was called "Struan," to say we were blown away is an understatement! It was first class luxury! Furthermore, the place was spotless and provided equipment that we needed to ensure a pleasurable stay. We both had a wonderful time. Thanks go to the "Highland Club"
Kind regards Michael & Kim Batterbee

we have repeat this year staying in your wolderful Club and we will repeat again.
Everything was excelent. Only one suggestion to give customers a perfect comfort in this wonderful property:
the temperature of the central heating is not enought for such a big property and that give not a perfect comfort for the customers.
The rest of our stay was perfect.
