Historic hideaway
We loved our stay in the historic hideaway on Lochness. It was lovely to sit high above in the gorgeous abbey and view the lake and hills around. The town was very close and easy to get basic necessities from groceries to Chinese takeaway. Hiking the trail on the hill across the lake was a real highlight of my time with its rolling hills and sheep. The roads around the area were hair raising as an American driver and the isle of Skye had the craziest single lane two way roads so it made day trips longer then expected but in general it was a great launching location for many highland sights! Check in was fine but more complex then expected since serval companies rent out spaces with different representatives so you have to find the specific person with your apartment. Overall we loved this peaceful hideaway and the apartment was relaxing and well equipped and more spacious then pictured!

very interesting property
It was a unique experience. Nothing like staying in what feels like a castle. The small town there was hopping on the weekend. We prepared meals and did laundry. Walked some of the trails on the grounds. A nice home base to visit the Highlands. The floors of the outer structure

Absolutely amazing property!
We were excited about the place from the pictures, and the reality was even more amazing. We loved the location, the views, and the unit itself had everything we could’ve asked for. Parking was super easy, everything was very secure, clean and welcoming. Thank you Jonathan for such a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Living in History!
We stayed at the Loch Ness Abbey for 4 nights and this will rate as one of the best, most historic VRBO’s we’ve stayed at. It was a bit difficult to find but our host showed up at the abbey and gave us a tour and then showed us to our room. Luis G was an outstanding host for us. We stayed on the fourth floor of the old bell tower and we looked directly out over Loch Ness. Nothing better that this view! The apartment had everything we needed and was supplied with some nice coffee’s and tea’s when we arrived. If there is a downside it would be the amount of stairs to get to our apartment but that was made very clear to us prior to arrival and so we had no issues at all. The game room was a wonderful place to just sit and relax and play a game of pool. if you love living in history and overlooking a beautiful loch, then this place is for you. I would recommend to anyone staying in Loch Ness and the Fort Augustus area. One other thing to mention is the grocery store and all of the canal businesses are just a few minutes walk. That would include the Loch Ness boat tour ticket building! 10/10 for our family!

Incredible property
Spectacular property in an ideal location. The Abbey felt magical - my daughter said she felt like she was staying at Hogwarts. The amenities were perfect for a family vacation. The apartment was well stocked with everything we could have needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. The view of Loch Ness and the surrounding hills was unbeatable. All shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance and the location was a great central one to see lots in the highlands. We easily did a day trip to the Isle of Skye. Highly recommend for a family trip!

Wonderful Stay in Fort Augustus
Two adult friends, my teen daughter, and I had a short but delightful stay in Gruinyards. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and well-outfitted with a gorgeous view, and the Abbey was a serene, beautiful, and interesting place to explore. (Our only regret is that we had just a single night there.) We ate a delicious dinner at the Boathouse overlooking Loch Ness. (Make sure to secure a reservation. We didn't have one and were lucky they were able to squeeze us in!) Jonathan was very responsive and a superb resource for some of my questions about pre- and post-stay travel times and routes. We also appreciated the very detailed information he included about the property and Fort Augustus. If we're ever able to return to Scotland, we'll definitely stay here again (and for longer).

Abbey stay
Great location!! Accommodations were nice. Could have used a few more towels for the stay. Pool and sauna were very nice. A bit disappointed with the sign up process. We signed up for a specific time. Thought we would be the only family there based upon the information when signing up. There were 14 other people in the room. Not as relaxing would like to been. Everyone in town was quite charming.

Felt like a dream
This property starts out a bit mysterious and then becomes a place you will never want to leave.The beauty of the Abbey itself is otherworldly. If you've ever wanted the experience of staying in a castle, you might just get your wish if you stay here. While the apartment was modern and full of all the comforts of home (including super cozy beds), you will feel like you're in another time altogether when you look out those incredible windows or walk the hallways to access the pool or play chess in the courtyard. This place is special. Our family didn't want to leave after our 3 days spent here. The stairs will make you rethink running back up to the apartment for that jacket you forgot to grab. But they were so worth it! Lots of restaurants and activities in walking distance.

Short but sweet!
Great location and property. We enjoyed the views from the family room. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The only complaint was that when we checked in the rooms smelled musty but once we aired them by opening the windows, it was fine in a few hours.

Perfect Vacation in Scotland
Visiting Scotland with my wife and three children (14, 12, 10). We spent the first 1/3 of our trip at the Abbey and we were not disappointed. The rental was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. But more than that, it was very unique… can’t say I’ve ever stayed anywhere that was so steeped in history. The view from the 4th story windows of the loch, mountains, and abbey grounds were truly beautiful. We enjoyed exploring the building and grounds so much that the kids were disappointed if I kept them off-property too late - they were huge fans of the oversized chess game in the courtyard. We found ourselves regretting our departure after only 4 nights. Location-wise, we planned activities between Fort William and Inverness for this leg of the journey and enjoyed the drive to each. We even picked up a few unplanned stops along the way as we drove along Loch Ness. Locally, it was an easy walk from the abbey to Fort Augustus. We were able to find dinner, groceries, and shopping within a very short stroll. We would definitely book again. This was one of my personal favorite rentals I have ever secured through VRBO.
