We absolutely loved our stay at the Highland club. The Sacristy was a great apartment for our stay and really the pictures do not do it justice for how nice it is. The furnishings are all top quality and the patio is superb. The club itself is great with all the facilities you could ever want including the most amazing pool. And anytime you leave the apartment you are greeted but wonderful views over Loch Ness just to add that little extra. We will 100% be going back as our kids enjoyed it just as much as we did and did not want to leave!
Great location, fantastic views. Loved walking down to the lake out the patio door. Used the pool, sauna, steam room which is a lovely space and only 1 other couple there. The apartment itself is really well equipped and comfortable, beds are so nice. Close to town and the abbey building is beautiful. Perfect stay.
Eine wunderschöne Wohnung an/in einer alten Abbey mit einem wunderschönen GelÀnde direkt an Loch Ness gelegen.
In der Wohnung hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Bei Ankunft war bereits eine Flasche Prosecco fĂŒr uns kalt gestellt. HandtĂŒcher und BademĂ€ntel waren ausreichend vorhanden. Die Einrichtungen wie Pool oder Billard haben wir nicht genutzt, sah aber sehr schön aus.
Allein in einer alten Abbey zu ĂŒbernachten ist schon besonders.
I do not recall there being notification that the property was not accessible to one in a wheelchair. Both bedrooms are upstairs. Toilets, especially the one downstairs, did not flush well. We had to fill the champagne bucket a couple of times before flushing was complete downstairs. I think two showers were advertised, but there is only one. Otherwise the property was very nice.
I cannot give enough five stars. Pictures do not do the property or the views around the property and loch justice. We had everything we needed for an all too brief stay to celebrate a milestone birthday. The views and peacefulness are indescribable. Management was always responsive and we would all gladly stay here again.
Our stay at Sacristy was very enjoyable. The accommodation was luxurious, the bed was comfy and kitchen well equipped.
We were staying for our honey moon, for relaxation, and we certainly achieved this.
It was very peaceful and quiet. There is a walk when you turn left out of the drive which takes you along the loch and through some fields which had lambs running around as we visited in spring time.
If you are looking for a good restaurant the only ones we found which didn't serve microwavable food was Caledonian canal cafe and Beaufort Hotel which does a great pizza.
Our host was great and she was quick to reply to any questions I had.
I would highly recommend the Sacristy for children as well. I saw baby monitors in the cupboard, children's cutlery, games to play etc.which are all nice added extras.
Outside our window we often saw pheasants, rabbits and ducks.
The pool is small but warm,clean and modern.
The sauna and steam take a few mins to warm up but are worth a visit.
The gym once found, easiest entrance is from outside, (next to cottages) is adequate.
The snooker room has giant connect four and a chess board. Lots of books and some puzzles as well as a pool and snooker table.
We would happily return to stay here but maybe be prepared to cook in house unless out and about for the day.
We were wowed by the property which was very well equipped and in a beautiful historic monastery located right on the edge of Loch Ness. Ideally situated for exploring the spectacular Highlands
Amazing place to stay if you are looking for natural beauty!
Property was spacious, had everything you need and beds were very comfortable.
We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again!
Thank you
Smashing location with lovely views of the garden, complete with wild rabbits and the Loch. Nice garden furniture to enjoy the views with a glass of something if you get good weather.
Had to chase up booking confirmation as hadn't heard anything following a provisional booking email from The Highland Club some 6 days earlier. Also only able to leave phone messages to advise of our arrival time on day of check-in and didn't get any call back. The Abbey is a stunning building and use of the lounge and pool/sauna is great, although unfortunately pool/sauna closes at 6pm so there isn't much time to use the facility if you are out exploring through the day. Only gripe with the Sacristy is the bathrooms - both are dark with no natural light so forget trying to put on makeup etc. The downstairs bathroom has a sink the size of a postage stamp so if there are more than a couple staying at the property, this is totally impractical to use if you haven't got use of the ensuite facility. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends etc. Fort Augustus is a lovely base with many places to eat and drink (our favourite by far for was the Locke Inn)
Die gepflegte und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung liegt in einer ehemaligen Klosteranlage in einer landschaftlich sehr reizvollen Umgebung. Die Lage direkt am Loch Ness ist sehr ruhig, WerÂŽs etwas belebter mag, fĂŒr den liegt Fort Augustus , ein kleiner aber noch nicht zu ĂŒberlaufener Touristenort (wenn man jahrelang in Bertchtesgaden gelebt hat...) gleich vor der HaustĂŒr und Inverness ist nur eine gute Autostunde entfernt... Alles in allem ein Geheimtip, den man gar nicht so gern weitergibt, weil er ja dann keiner mehr ist... Wir jedenfalls haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und wĂŒrden jederzeit wiederkommen.
