Great location, fantastic views. Loved walking down to the lake out the patio door. Used the pool, sauna, steam room which is a lovely space and only 1 other couple there. The apartment itself is really well equipped and comfortable, beds are so nice. Close to town and the abbey building is beautiful. Perfect stay.

Clean and well equipped apartment. I would personally like to see bigger and more comfortable beds. We slept in two single beds put together which was a bit uncomfortable due to clear split in the middle. The other slight issue was that the apartment has an “old building smell” to it. I appreciate it is part of old monastery and it most likely is something you cannot avoid. Saying that you can leave your doors and windows open for fresh air and enjoy great surroundings at the same time. Great to have access to a spa however we did not get to use it even once as not only do you have to pre-book but the main issue is that it is only available 9-5. You can use it for additional charge in the evening but all spaces were gone anyways. Other than that this place is in a lovely location with a great view of Loch Ness. Grounds are well looked after and it is very peaceful. I would definitely like to stay there again!

Very nice place to comfortably explore Scotland. Our son enjoyed the lake and the facilities in and around the Highland club. The appartement itself become home the first day. Directly from the appartement we had some wonderful hikes and visits to the village.

I do not recall there being notification that the property was not accessible to one in a wheelchair. Both bedrooms are upstairs. Toilets, especially the one downstairs, did not flush well. We had to fill the champagne bucket a couple of times before flushing was complete downstairs. I think two showers were advertised, but there is only one. Otherwise the property was very nice.

This is a beautiful place to stay, very comfortable, all extras provided. We had a lovely view of Loch Ness, with some bunnies and very tame ducks resident on the lawn! The Highland Club itself is great; set in a beautiful monastery right on the banks of the loch, it is truly wonderful. Highly recommended!

The property, location and amenities exceeded our expectations! The grounds we so stunning, the building beautiful and we loved watching all the animals (bunnies, ducks, and many other birds). (The only comment we had is that it can be quite warm, and some fans would have been appreciated.)

I cannot give enough five stars. Pictures do not do the property or the views around the property and loch justice. We had everything we needed for an all too brief stay to celebrate a milestone birthday. The views and peacefulness are indescribable. Management was always responsive and we would all gladly stay here again.
