About this condo rental

Situated in Fort Augustus, this lovely condo for $217 per night is a great choice for your next break. 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.

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.

What an absolutely lovely place!! Getting our luggage up there was a bit breathtaking, but the views and the quietness was wonderful. Ft Augustus is just across the street and very charming. Be sure to check out the Boathouse Restaurant, you wont be disappointed. This is a very unique place to stay in a great location

It was quite a unique place to stay. The whole club and also staying at the tower. It really looked a bit like Hogwarts.

Once we connectes with the right host, we got a great tour of the building and it's amenities before tackling 9ish flights of stairs to the apartment. Once inside, you realize this cool and quirky place is based on three levels. Bed is at the very top and is comfortable. Living space is in the middle and is relatively roomy. Kitchen has everything you need, although the plumbing miat has some creative kinks in it because the dishwaaher gurgles when you drain the sink and the toilets are pretty finicky. Views are amazing, but you have to be pretty tall to see them put the windows. Pool and Billiard room and swimming pool was fun, but the ping pong table has the most amazing accoustics and the chess board has a hogwarts feel to it. There are a few cosmetic things (peeling plaster in bathroom due to moisture control) All in all, its a pretty magical place as long as you are willing to climb 10 flights of stairs! We loved it.

We visited in late June 2022 and stayed 7 nights at this wonderful apartment. The building was amazing and so full of history. The apartment was very cozy with very good amenities (with the exception of cooking spices). Wi-Fil was strong and view from living room out onto Loch Ness was amazing. Lots of steps but this did not bother us too much except at the end of the day after a long day of hiking or walking. Worth every step though.

Fantastic property. Steeped in history and the location is centrally located for easy access to beautiful spots north and south. Lovely hiking trails within walking distance. I can’t say enough good things about this place.
