Raven Wing 11 - Fort Augustus Abbey - Gateway to Loch Ness  - Luxurious self catering Apartment in Fort Augustus Abbey - Sleeps 4 (plus 2)


Raven Wing 11 is a luxury self catering apartment at the historic Fort Augustus Abbey, a magnificent building which stands at the southern end of Loch Ness. The property has 2 bedroom but sleeps 6 with the use of a sofa bed.

Fort Augustus Abbey is a magnificent building 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.

This 1st floor luxury apartment is newly completed and has an open plan kitchen and living space with views over the Caledonian Canal, and the glorious mountains beyond. Raven Wing 11 is an ideal retreat for those wanting to spend some quality time walking and relaxing. The Great Glen way is close by and plenty of forest and river walks available.

Located in St Benedict's Abbey Fort Augustus and dating back to 1700's, the Raven Wing sits alongside this beautiful Grade A listed building and is set amongst 20 acres of private grounds, with Loch Ness just a short stroll away. To experience Loch Ness in this tranquil and truly awe inspiring 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.

The pretty village of Fort Augustus, which lies on the banks of the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness is a few minutes walk from the apartment. The village itself gives you access to everything you need for the perfect holiday, including boat trips, shops, restaurants and bars. It is so relaxing to sit outside a canal side bar or cafe with a drink and watch the boats pass through the lock gates. If you want to do some sightseeing from here, Fort William (Ben Nevis) and Inverness only an hour away by car. The West coast is also only a little over an hours drive.

Some things people have said about Raven Wing 11 - Abbey recently.

Dell & Margaret

What a great choice via internet from Brisbane, Australia. We loved every minute of our stay. Superb, comfortable accom from which to explore the west of Scotland. We'll certainly be recommending it to anyone who wants to visit the area. We were sorry to leave.

Susan and Ian Szamakowicz

Our stay 6-13 March 2010. An excellent apartment, probably the best accommodation we have experienced in Scotland. We know the area quite well but visited at this time of year just to see the snow - we were not disappointed. Will definitely return.

Karl West

The most perfect family break! Fort Augustus and the surrounding area is the most perfect place to enjoy a quite, family holiday.

Raven Wing 11 was immaculate and probably the best ever self-catering accommodation we have stayed in.

The location, accommodation and facilities were so good, we have cancelled our summer cruise and booked for 3 weeks in the summer.

I am so excited to return, I did not realise there was so much to do in this part of the Country!

Carol Metcalfe

The Abbey and the grounds are beautiful and we had a lovely stay in this modern and spacious new apartment. The decor and standard of cleanliness was second to none and the bottle of wine and delicious shortbread certainly eased us into our stay at Raven Wing!. Yes there were building works going on but as promised they didnt really affect our stay at all. The apartment is well stocked with brand new dvds, books and games - and no doubt will now have Sky installed. We received a very efficient and warm welcome from Mrs Canning the caretaker, in fact we had good service all round from Wilderness Cottages in general. The Abbey will have facilities second to none when finished, hope we can go back some day.

David Robbie

Excellent accomodation in a beatuful location proving fantastic views!!

Stayed 5th Sept - 8th Sept

Apartment was spot on! It was incredibly spacious, well decorated and the ample facilities were all in perfect order.

A walk around the abbey in the well kept surroundings offered incredible views right onto Loch Ness.

Fort Augustus (less than 5mins walk) is a lovely village and we spent a day watching the boats going through the canal. Then spent the evening in one of the local bars that provided a great band for entertainment.

Also had a day in Inverness shopping which was a lovely drive right along the Loch.

Will definately be back and would happily recommend this apartment to couples and families of any age.
