Amazing stay! Mark was very inviting. The location is inside the fort! Its beautiful. The house is very nice. We had 2 elderly,they struggled with the stairs. If you have young family, its an amazing property. The bath tub doesn't have shower head, so only one shower to use. Outside there is a restaurant too, we didnt use it though. The surroundings are amazing.

Really great place! The Highland Club is beautiful with lots to do. We loved Moat House 1. Comfy beds, great shower and bathtub. Nice sitting room upstairs and kitchen is pretty and updated. The kids (15, 19 & 21) all loved it! The cloisters were beautiful and the whole area is just great! I really recommend it!

We have stayed in this location before and found it very good for the walks and wonderful scenery. Accommodation was as advertised main bedroom has no windows so no access to wifi or any signal. Kitchen is small and compact.

This place was amazing. Fort Augustus is a great base for a wide variety of highland daytrips and this place was a perfect little home away from home. It's only about a two minute walk to the heart of the small town from your front door. The swimming pool is neat, the grounds are interesting to walk, and the restaurant was lovely.

The location, property and town were all perfect! We were able to day trip to Glenfinnan, Inverness and Isle of Sky. Used the tennis courts, pool, and strolled the bank of Loch Ness. The CaledonIan Canal locks in Ft. Augustus are a real bonus. Would definitely return to the Monastery for a stay and highly recommend.

Wished we had stayed longer than the three days we had for Moat House 1. The property was perfect for our party size, really well equipped and plenty of space in an amazing setting. Thanks to the hosts.

We stayed in Moat House 1 at St. Benedicts Abbey. It was a great location for our day visits to the Isle of Skye. The property is right on Loch Ness and the grounds are beautiful. It’s location to the town was great too. We did some shopping and ordered dinner a few nights. The property was clean and provided us all we needed for our family of 4. There was plenty of activities to do on the grounds. There was someone to greet us and explain everything upon our arrival. That was very much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Just Wow, from the moment you arrive at the gates the property itself is impressive. The house was a great base from which we explored Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Eilean Doran, Isle of Skye etc. The kitchen is small and seperate, but since we only made coffee and light breakfast it was no big deal. The shower is AMAZING! and was wonderful after a day of exploring. The residence is a short walk to town with lots of shops etc. The only suggestion I would make to improve the property is a WiFi booster/repeater on the ground floor as the master bedroom does not get WiFi and blocks mobile data. Would stay there again in a heart beat!

The Highland club is a perfect location to stay if you plan to stay on Loch Ness. The town is just right outside the fence of the Abbey so everything is in walking distance. The Fish and Chips at the Loch Inn may be some of the best we had in Scotland. There is plants of room to spread out in the apartment. The check-in process is tricky here because there are three different property management companies at the Abby. I saw many, many people confused as to how to check-in when they arrived. That seems to be universal for staying there, not just for this specific apartment. I would definitely stay here again. Such a cool spot.

This is a beautiful property in a quiet setting. There are many good restaurants and bakeries nearby. The property was well maintained. There was a small error with the booking but the housekeeping crew did a great job getting the place together on short notice and we were given a thorough orientation of the property. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

As listed by the owner the photos don’t do this property justice.. it’s a beautiful apartment in a historic building in a stunning setting overseeing the Loch Ness. The apartment is fitted with all the modern amenities and comforts and retains the charm and character of the old Abbey. Could not have asked for a better place to stay.. Thank you Mike..

Very nice and pleasant stay. The tennis court was great and the kids enjoyed playing football around the property. Close to lots of activities which we made the most of. Accommodation was bit weird with bedrooms on ground floor but we got used to it. Overall clean and we could connect to Netflix etc...

Really nice property and environment! I would definitely recommended. Only 3 things weren’t as expected or as described and it’s worth sharing: Check out is at 10am and not 12pm Only one shower and not two You need to book in advance for the swimming pool/spa and you can access only 1h/day

This property is fine, roomy, well-appointed. It wasn't for me because the master bedroom and bathroom did not have windows, making me and my claustrophobia very uncomfortable. Also the kitchen is very small and very separate from the living space in a different room. I like to cook and chat at the same time so this didn't suit our needs but might be perfectly fine for someone else. The owners and property managers addressed the concern immediately and we were given a more suitable accommodation at the abbey, which we enjoyed. The apartments don't reflect the age of the building, don't expect stone walls or old charm in the apartments. The interior is very modern. I enjoyed the pool and sauna once, that had a lot of character and good design. We enjoyed Fort Augustus, the local pub with a wood stove, loved that. And Loch Ness offered much more history and interesting facts than we had imagined. About the abbey, personally, despite the arched churchy attributes of high ceilings, wide hallways and some beautiful doors, I felt like I was in old school. I wouldn't go back but I do think it would be great for multiple families getting together, other people seemed to be quite happy.

We couldn’t believe our luck in stumbling across this property. The pictures don’t even come close to how amazing it is. Right on the shore of Loch Ness 2 minute walk to pubs shops and the boats.

As a family of 4, the property was ideal, it had everything we needed to make our stay fantastic. Staying within the Abbey and having access to the amenities that it has to offer was brilliant.
