Would not return or recommend. Not good for walking and a very unattractive building and town.

Our stay at the Abby was absolutely fantastic, perfect for our Christmas break. Such a beautiful area, we would recommend it to anyone looking to stay. Simon was amazing and answered any questions really quickly! It had everything we wanted and more!

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Talisker apartment at The Highland Club. The apartment was cosy, luxurious and extremely spacious. Everything was well-kept and super-clean too. There was plenty to do inside the Monastery itself. The children felt like they were at Hogwarts as they wandered around the corridors. The swimming pool, ping pong table, giant chess and games room were all massive hits and well-used by our family. The little village of Fort Augustus is very well set up for tourists. Although we don't live too far from Loch Ness, it was a real treat to be staying right on the banks of the Loch and the view up the loch itself was absolutely breathtaking. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was waking on the last morning to find a dusting of snow everywhere. Absolutely magical.

Excellent location, clean and tidy.

A great place to stay in a beautiful setting right on Loch Ness with shops a couple of minutes walk.

Perfect from the abbey to the village ....great times!!!!

Its a lovely apartment, but dishwasher doesn't clean very well (every thing had to be run twice). The heating turned off while we were there, and though Simon, the maintenance man, came around and fixed it, one doesn't want to be dealing with this on holiday. Similarly, the door of the washing machine was broken. It took a while to get in touch with someone....and then, after Alan explained how to door shut over the phone, the dryer function of the washing machine started giving an error code and stopped working. This was late at night, leaving us with a load of wet laundry to dry. Also, the outside shower is blocked, causing the bathroom floor to flood. And the beds in both bedrooms are very uncomfortable, and could do with replacing.

We love the Highland Club, we love Fort Augustus, we plan to be back again next year! The location and amenities are great.

This place was perfect for our family of Five. Wonderful onsite pool and restaurant and walking distance to beautiful downtown area. My kids loved the playground on the property.

The Talisker was a gorgeous 3 bedroom apartment. Everything was perfect and very high end. We wish we could have stayed a week!

Our family of 4 (with a 19 and 22 year old) had a dream vacation with the Talisker apartment at The Highland Club as our base of operations. We roamed from Talisker Beach on the Isle of Skye to Edinburgh to Inverness and came back each night to our home away from home. We also fell in love with Fort Augustus and loved walking into the village for shopping, food, and drink.

We had a wonderful 4 nights at The Highland Club. The facilities were fantastic and there was always something to do no matter what the weather was doing so my kids were never bored. There’s a lovely 50 minute boat cruise around Loch Ness which we enjoyed and the Boatshed bistro is convenient for dinner. The apartment is spacious and has everything a family of 5 needs including board games and rackets for tennis, ping pong and badminton. The staff are friendly and helpful. All around an excellent place to stay - highly recommend !

Tastefully furnished, well equipped. Stunning location, excellent facilities and walking distance to village

Our apartment was beautiful! The building itself is absolutely stunning and there is a lot to keep you entertained. Our view overlooked the large chessboard and old hallways which was lovely. Upon arrival we were greeted by the management team and given a tour of the building with some historic information. The only negative things I would say about this apartment is that the single beds creak a lot so the people in that room didn't get much sleep when one of them turned in the night and the en-suite shower is quite small - none of these things would stop me from going again though.

Apartment had a unique layout but the setting of the old Abbey was magical. The amenities were plenty. We enjoyed playing croquet and snooker, but the pool closes early so we didn't make it down. All of the furniture was comfortable and kitchen supplies were adequate for cooking. It was a short walk into town and the views of loch ness were spectacular. We would feel blessed to be able to come again.

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely apartment . Used the swimming pool . Perfect location , managed to see many places . Thank you for your hospitality.

We had a fab stay. The apartment is huge and comfy. The facilities at the club are superb. An excellent spot to visit the Highlands.

This was the second time we had stayed at the Highland Club, but the first time in Talisker. The whole family loved it! It is such a beautiful location and the flat was spacious and comfortable, with amazing features from the building’s time as an abbey. We would love to go back soon!

An excellent 4 nights stay at the Highland Club. Myself and a few pals stayed in the Old School (Talisker) which didn't fall short on any of its promises. Plenty to do in the area on a short trip - hiking, cycling, golf, fishing, full sized snooker, tennis and giant chess - Fort Augustus has it all. Locals were very friendly and gave us great discounts. There were a couple of great pubs nearby with hearty food and fresh beer. The scenery on the hike around the Loch was phenomal. Worth a trip in itself.

Great apartment and great location. The building is interesting with good facilities and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to returning.

We had a lovely time - the setting of the Abbey on the Loch is lovely, Fort Augustus is a charming town and it was great to be able to walk everywhere, and our kids loved the playground at the Abbey. The apartment itself was nice - kitchen had everything. The couches need to be replaced and one was not the same as shown in the majority of the photos in line. After we arrived and I compared, there was one photo where you could see a corner of the couch (black material) but the majority of the photos and indeed any photos focusing on the couches and sitting areas showed two brown leather sofas. The Club emailed us directions on how to get in and advising that we would need to confirm our arrival prior to arriving. However this information didn't reach us in time as it wasn't sent at the time or close to the time of our booking, and we did a road trip in Scotland prior to arriving at the Highland Club whereby we had very little access to internet or even cell coverage. Because of that, the club was not aware of our arrival and it was just by chance that we found someone who could give us keys etc. Also because of that, the apartment was not recently cleaned in preparation for our arrival. It was mostly clean, but we ended up having to vacuum the floors from the get-go, so not a relaxing way to start our last few days of vacation and what was intended to be a bit of R&R time. Overall the experience was fine, but considering the state of the couches we found this particular suite to be overpriced.

First time visit but will definitely be returning. Excellent high standard accommodation. Cannot fault anything. Disappointed that the leisure pool was closed but plenty of other activities to make the stay enjoyable.

Room was at 6 pm not ready, they had forgotten us, heating did not work - cold Appartement, no one at reception only facility manager, dish washer broken, pool out of use, we won't come again

En famille dans ce très bel appartement tout confort, nous avons passé un super sèjour. Confort, silence et repos au bout du lock mais sans voir le Nessi malheureusement.
