The Ross, apartment in former monasterty on the shores of world famous Loch Ness

The Ross is a fabulous holiday apartment with many excellent facilities included in your rental. It sits on the second floor of the Moat House in Fort Augustus Abbey, now known as The Highland Club.
The apartment has excellent views all round the Cloister Corridors, to the cricket field, Fort Augustus village and the hills beyond.
The Ross is rather warm and cosy throughout the year with gas central heating; it is therefore an ideal base for a family holiday or enjoying quality time with friends.

Activities
Walking, riding, canoeing – there are no limits for things to to.

For many of our guests, holidays are for relaxing and The Ross is a rather quiet place to enjoy the refinary and relaxing atmosphere of this historic Abbey. Alternatively, you can use your holiday here for fun and adventure on and around Loch Ness.

Furnishings are very comfortable and the rooms are spacious, retaining many of the original Abbey features so you never forget what a lovely building you are staying in. The windows in the master bedroom for example – you will sit up in bed staring at the windows, not so much through them, but upon them, as they are so beautifully crafted.
