Description from owner
Description
...when arriving at The Highland Club, the former St. Benedict's Abbey at the shores of Loch Ness...you enter your holiday retreat at the Moat House through its marvelous entrance ...peacefulness starts whilst you follow the cloisters with view into the Cloister Gardens to enter directly into...
The SCRIPTORIUM -the secret 'place for writing' of a monastery
... which forms the very special framework of a unique & detached one-bedroom-apartment on 2 floors with the original high vaulted ceilings, gothic archways & mighty stone pillars and beautiful stained-glass windows!
The Scriptorium Garden you will enter from the hall of the Scriptorium-Building with its marvelous ancient tiled floor...the vestibule under a vaulted ceiling leads you into
- the bathroom with bath tub & shower over heated towel rail and entry into your private inner courtyard garden
- the lounge with dining area and integrated kitchen including gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing-dryer, fridge with icebox, microwave...it benefits of tall windows right into the ceiling giving plenty light & lovely views into your own private courtyard garden between cloisters and abbey church
- the staircase up to the bedroom with king-size double bed -suiting easily an abbot- under the original high ceiling, a skylight to watch stars & clouds from your bed and the special atmosphere created by stained-glass windows with symbols of the past home of monks...
Adding to the special feeling of the apartment are the hectagonal shape of the building towards the east, vaulted ceilings & archways, comfy seaters & sofa, dining set at the lounge windows looking into your own private garden watching birds and the ever changing ambience with gargoyles looking down ... many more for you to explore by yourself ... and to feel at home!
TV with DVD/CD-player and a radio in the bedroom helps to enjoy each and every minute at the SCRIPTORIUM and to relax.
THE HIGHLAND CLUB -as part of the services for YOU - includes an heated indoor swimming POOL with steam room & sauna, a well equipped MiniGYM, a tennis court, badminton net, giant chess, BBQ-places, croquet lawn, outdoor table tennis and cricket pitch, and a Club Lounge with full sized snooker table (free WLAN connection!), also with the 'Boathouse' restaurant on site at the shores of Loch Ness... you will have a very enjoyable, luxury stay!
The Highland Club as the estate has implimented an online booking system for The Chapel Pool complex, Tennis Court and Gym; this in line with necessary limitations on capacity and time limits.

“Beautiful quirky apartment in good location for Fort Augustus”
This is a lovely clean well appointed duplex apartment for 2. The garden is accessed through the downstairs bathroom which is a little odd and although the garden is for the apartment guests only, it is visible to all, so not secluded. The local restaurants and pubs serve good food. the Boat house has a varied menu and we eat there frequently. Also the Lock Inn is friendly with good food.

Response from the owner Great that guests enjoyed their stay at this place close to my heart. This is one of the very few properties at this ancient building having its own garden, nobody else could enter. Its a private garden with views into and through the cloisters and its entered through the original entry from the Scriptorium building. A sun trap with different seating areas and soon a fully covered pavillion surrounded by crowned kings and gargoyles gazing onto you. Enjoy!
