Monastery 18

Description from the owner

Gruinyards is the "look-out on Loch Ness", a stunning top floor two bedroom apartment in the old Monastery building with surely the most spectacular views of Loch Ness from anywhere. It is beautifully furnished and has every convenience for a truly memorable holiday.

It sleeps four people, or six with the comfortable sofa-bed in the living room - alternatively use the amazingly comfortable double Aerobed to have the big master bedroom as a family bedroom.*

Gruinyards has high sloping ceilings and manages to be both spacious and cosy at the same time. Similarly it combines the old and the new, with magnificent stone mullioned wind...ows and stylish contemporary furnishing.

Gruinyards boasts a large and beautifully bright and airy living-dining room with a full kitchen, an elegant and very spacious master bedroom and wonderful ensuite bathroom with a roll-top bath and views over Borlum Hill.

It also has a very comfortable and cosy twin bedroom, loved by children, a second bathroom and a high quality double sofa bed in the living room or the automatic double Aerobed in the main bedroom.

It is unique in having windows and views on three sides and gets the sun all day long. Fantastic for lounging around and relaxing if you've done enough for the day.

There are several guide books to the Highlands and the local area as well as Ordnance Survey and large scale walkers maps. In addition, in case the weather is less than perfect, the apartment has a large wide screen TV and a range of classic or family films on DVD as well as games and books.

New: Wi-fi broadband is now available in the apartment!

Additional Location Information

The Highland club is in Fort Augustus in the recently converted Benedictine Abbey, which was originally the Fort.
The Architecture and history are absorbing, but step outside to see why it all happened here; the abbey is on the foot of Loch Ness with stunning views towards Inverness. One one side the Caledonian Canal with 7 locks bringing craft into the Loch, and on the other side the River Tarff.
The village is right outside the Highland Club gates and has good restaurants and pubs with canalside seating to watch boats from all over the world coming through the locks.
Follow the loch up either side to Inverness or follow the Great Glen Way to Fort William and Ben Nevis for a climb, but first try out the Abseiling, Canoeing and many other activities locally and at the Great glen Water Park
There is something for everyone at Loch Ness
See you soon
