About this apartment rental

This exceptional split-level apartment in the Monastery Tower is truly unique. Beautiful original stone windows offer breathtaking views over Loch Ness. It has a stunning and private location on the top floor of St Benedict’s Abbey, a Victorian monastery that has been converted into luxury apartments. Stylishly decorated throughout, this property makes a wonderful romantic getaway.

Alternatively, it could be used for a party of four utilising the large sofa bed in the main living area.

The property is situated at the top of the grand stone staircase from the historic cloisters walkway. If you look at pictures of the Abbey, in many of them you will see a tall, square tower that stands above the rest of the building – this is where the Monastery Tower apartment is located.

In many of the apartments, and from the Abbey grounds itself, you will get some wonderful views of Loch Ness but the Monastery Tower offers truly unrestricted views over the trees and right across the water.

All of the rooms in the apartment are special but the highlight is probably the open plan living / kitchen area. A series of stunning arch windows work their way around this unique room bringing in much light and providing panoramic views of the loch and mountains.

Entertainment options include a flat screen TV with Freesat, Netflix (provided free to our guests), and bluetooth speakers for your phones and tablets. The fully fitted and well-equipped kitchen area features lovely granite work surfaces and the dining area has an oak dining table and four chairs.

Upstairs, the bedroom features a very comfortable king size bed, with windows overlooking the cloisters and a flat screen TV with an integrated DVD player for those lazy days.

Located next to the bedroom, the bathroom with its original quatrefoil windows and lovely views has a powerful built-in shower over the bath. There is also a second toilet located on the lower floor.

This welcoming apartment provides modern comforts and convenience whilst retaining many of its striking original features.

LOVED staying in the tower!!! How fun staying in such a magnificent old monastery. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped. Quite comfortable for a reprieve from a busy trip. Perfect spot to relax and recharge. And look for Nessie! Lol Wish we could have stayed longer! We will be back!!! Thank you for sharing your special spot! FYI...Read reviews about the steps leading up. They didn't bother us at all. Worth the climb. 👍

Great accommodation but BE PREPARED FOR LOTS OF STAIRS and a short walk. Kitchen was well equipped and updated. Oven had something on it which smoked quite a bit when we tried to use it but not a major problem.

This is one of the absolute coolest places we’ve ever stayed. The views were breathtaking, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was totally functional, and the apartment was roomy. If you don’t mind stairs and you enjoy unique experiences this is for you.

Apartment was beautiful Views were terrific Only drawback was six flights of stairs to get all the way up to the top of the apartment. Fort Augustas was nice but both groceries and restaurants are limited depending on the day Guests should be prepared with food and or reservations. Apartment was clean but major bath smelled excessively of bleach All in all a great stay

My family could not have had a better stay. The property was exactly as listed, the gentleman that met us to show us around was great. If I travel to the area again I would definitely try to stay there again.
