Moat House 7 - Fort Augustus Abbey - Loch Ness - Self catering apartment close to Loch Ness - Sleeps 4

SHORT BREAKS AVAILABLE - MINIMUM STAY 3 NIGHTS £100 PER NIGHT.

This charming and comfortable, apartment is situated on the top floor of the Moat House, 2 minutes from the centre of the Loch Ness side village of Fort Augustus, in the heart of the Great Glen. Understandably, given its superb setting in this central location, (Fort Augustus is in the geographical centre of the Highlands of Scotland) it is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Highlands - The gateway to Loch Ness.

Through the village runs the River Oich and the picturesque Caledonian canal and lock system, built by Thomas Telford in the early 1800's. Restaurants, bars and shops are all available in the village.

Set in the original Moat House, the apartment is situated on the top floor of the building, so is not suitable for disabled visitors. 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 many miles of forest walks with many forest and hill walks from the doorstep. The proximity to attractions also makes this a favourite destination for young families, with Fort William (Ben Nevis) and Inverness only an hour away by car. The West coast is also only a little over an hours drive.
