About this apartment rental

No.3 & No.4 are first floor apartments. No.4 is on two levels, both bedrooms are upstairs.No.1 & 2 The Old Convent are ground floor apartments. All our apartments have been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard but keeping some of the character and adding modern touches such as central heating, insulation and double glazing!
The Old Convent is situated in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus on the southern tip of Loch Ness, which is virtually the geographical center of the Highlands. A perfect base for exploring the spectacular scenery and amenities that the area has to offer.
We, Felicity & Chris are local and live in what was the priests quarters when the building was originally a church and are able to suggest many wonderful day trips combining superb scenic drives and walks, with castles, brochs and ruins that you probably won't find in any guide book.
Fort Augustus is the perfect place to relax with a short walk to the center of the village where you can find grocery shops, post office, ATM, petrol station and several pubs and restaurants. You can take a boat trip up Loch Ness or simply chill on the canal side watching the boats negotiate the locks!

The Old Convent was originally built as a church in 1842, then converted into a convent 'St Scholastica's Priory' in 1891, the nun's took residence in 1892 until 1922 when the remaining nun's were moved to Holme Eden Abbey. Some of the nun's are buried in the graveyard at Fort Augustus Abbey, half a mile from the convent on the shores of Loch Ness.

We are close to a main road with the convent woods to the rear giving you privacy, and a fantastic view of golf course and Ben Tee to the front.

If you wish to bring your dog please ask first, we accept most small/medium breeds but they are not allowed in the bedroom or on furniture. We have spare dog towels if needed.

The property is ready for guests arrival from 4pm.
We ask that guests leave by 10am on day of departure as we need time to clean for next guests.
If an apartment is already booked for your preferred dates please ask as there are four apartments No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4

Felicity and Chris were amazing hosts. They were very knowledgeable about the area and anywhere that we wanted to travel. They met us at our vehicle upon arrival for introductions, and then gave us a thorough tour of our apartment so that we knew where everything was and how everything worked. The apartment was spotless, which I very much appreciate, and the renovations they have done to it are just perfect. It feels refreshed, but still has the charm that I would expect of an old building. Would definitely recommend staying here!

What a wonderful property and hosts! The apartment was well-appointed with an amazing kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms. So comfy and so clean! Chris gave us the tour and offered so much pertinent information for getting the most out of the area. And being within walking distance from Loch Ness was a definite amenity. Additionally, the location is within an hour to hour-and-a-half of numerous Highland must-see sites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return in the future. Highly recommended!

This was the perfect apartment to house our family while we visited western Scotland. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed for our 3 day visit. The hosts are friendly and have one of the best welcome information packets I have experienced, with instructions on how to use everything in the apartment, menus for local restaurants, suggested places to visit.
