Moat House 5 - Fort Augustus Abbey -  Self catering in luxury second floor apartment in the historic Grade A listed building - Sleeps 4

Set on two floors and being at the top of the Moat House this apartment has excellent views all round of the cloisters and the cricket field to Fort Augustus village.

Fort Augustus Abbey is a magnificent building 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 Abbey is surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness and two rivers.

The accommodation is warm and cosy throughout the year and is an ideal retreat for those wanting to spend some quality time walking and relaxing and for quietly enjoying the refined and relaxed atmosphere of this historic Abbey. It is close to the Great Glen cycle way and forest walks.

The West coast is also only a little over an hours drive.
