Moat House 10 - Fort Augustus Abbey - Self catering apartment - Sleeps 2

Moat House 10 is a duplex apartment attached to the original Moat House of Fort Augustus Abbey. The Abbey is a magnificent 'A' listed building which stands in 20 acres of grounds. The waters of Loch Ness lap the Abbey boundaries and it is easy to see why the monks of past generations found it such a restful, spiritual place to be.

Fort Augustus is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Highlands, not just for discovering the wilds, and not so wild attractions around Loch Ness, but also for visiting Inverness, Fort William and the West Coast - all are within an hour's drive from your accommodation. The village is just a short stroll from the apartment and has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops available. The River Oich and the Caledonian canal runs through the village and many an hour can be spent just watching the boats passing through the lock system on their way to and from Loch Ness. If you would like a boat trip on Loch Ness these are available from the village.

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 has many forest and hill walks from the doorstep.
