Old School 10 - Fort Augustus Abbey - Luxury self catering apartment - Sleeps 4

First floor luxury self catering apartment at the historic Fort Augustus Abbey, which stands in 20 acres of beautifully maintained garden grounds at the southern end of Loch Ness and which, until recently, was home to an order of Saint Benedictine monks. The apartment looks out over the grounds towards the Caledonian Canal.

Shops, restaurants and bars of Fort Augustus are just a few hundred yards from the apartment. You are, literally yards from Loch Ness as the abbey grounds run right down to the shoreline. You can relax in the gardens which flow through long terraces and broad flights of Victorian steps right down to the waters edge.

To experience Loch Ness in this tranquil setting, just as the generations of St Benedictine monks before you must have done, will leave you with a holiday experience that you will surely remember and cherish forever.

This self catering is special and will exceed your holiday expectations, such is the standard and quality we have set and that we know you appreciate. Those of you that have stayed in our holiday cottages in the past will know that our standards are extremely high.

The Abbey, the oldest building in Fort Augustus, is built on the site of an old Hanovarian fort named after William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the original foundations still form part of the buildings today. It was more recently a school, run by the monks, but it was closed some years ago due to financial pressures when, finally, the Monks closed the Abbey as a place of worship and the buildings were sold. Now, Fort Augustus Abbey, a Grade A listed building, has been painstakingly and tastefully renovated and converted into luxury apartment accommodation. This accommodation is mostly high quality executive class self catering holiday homes while others will be used as second homes.

The apartment is furnished to best satisfy and enhance your holiday experience, regardless of external factors like the weather. When the weather here is kind, it is simply heaven on earth and when it is not so kind, Loch Ness oozes with atmosphere and mystery that is hard to find anywhere else on earth.
