Beautiful Propery on Loch Ness!

We enjoyed our stay in St Andrew's Chapel. Such an unique place to stay! The buildings are beautiful as well as the grounds. We loved that it was right on the Loch! We could walk to Fort Augustus for a bite to eat or a pint. Nice restaurants with really good food. Everyone was so friendly!

This is a once in a lifetime stay- such an incredible opportunity to stay in an historic place in a beautiful town. Check in was a travesty, but once we got into the room it was worth it

St Andrews Chapel Fort Augustus

A unique and very comfortable apartment in what we hadn't realised was a very large complex but you hardly saw many other people. Plenty of activities on site including tennis, badminton, table tennis and snooker to mention a few with an efficient booking system which worked well. Lovely pool but is on the small side but steam room and sauna also. The Abbey is uniquely placed near the Loch and the Caledonian Canal with lots of activities available locally including golf and cycling with some water sports. We really enjoyed our stay, had a fabulous time and hope to return soon The staff from the Highland Club were welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

Just as wonderful as it appears in the photos

This property is as wonderful as it seems in the photos. The property manager, Mike met us as we drove up. He gave us a tour of the property and was helpful throughout our stay. The Chapel rental was all light up on our arrival and absolutely gorgeous. We appreciated the provisions provided. The beds are on the firm side but Mike provided us with a pillow topper. We enjoyed the swimming in the heated pool, playing ping pong and wandering the Abbey. The town is a short walk away, along with boating activities. We enjoyed dining several times at The Boat House restaurant. Would suggest dinner reservations, especially on the weekends. We would highly recommend staying at this very unique property.

Fantastic Experience

Fort Augustus was great and we enjoyed a couple of meals and walking around. The Highlands Club was much more impressive than we understood and we also wished we had planned more time on property. The view of Loch Ness alone was mesmerizing. Our particular apartment was in the Abbey with incredible architecture and stained glass windows. The apartment had everything including an incredible kitchen and dining area. We knew from the pictures that the decor was pretty specific. Furnishings including the beds were getting old and in need of upgrade. Overall, Fort Augustus and the Highland Club are very positive long term memories for our family.

Stunning Stay

I was extremely happy to be able to book this property again. Very well appointed and clean, anything you may need is just a phone call away. It ticks all the boxes, especially location. The one downside is booking, there are way too many entities involved. When you look up Highland Club you may or most likely may not be booking with the actual Highland Club, and I think that causes quite a bit of confusion as witnessed by other people trying to check in. Also, the Highland Club is managed by a few different companies which is also confusing. I don't remember having such an issue last time we booked a few years back. Our stay was blissful, you cannot beat the location if you explore by foot or car. There is a ton of local information available, many activities in the Highland Club itself. We were able to catch the Highland Games just a fifteen-minute drive away.

Love and Hate

No one from management ever talked to us, maintenance man was of no help whatsoever. I had to reset hot water tank twice each day every day just to have heat and water. The electric curtains did not work and haven’t worked for 6 months according to maintenance man.. The sauna and steam room did not work, other than that the place was beautiful.

Great location, gorgeous decor, and well equipped

A converted chapel complete with stained glass windows is certainly among the more unusual places we've stayed, but what Highland Club have done to make the place homely, beautifully designed, and luxuriously functional really helped make our trip to Loch Ness special. The Christmas decorations in particular added an extra touch of magical cosiness. Which is good - because I proposed to my fiancée up on Allt na Criche during our stay so I'm very glad the accommodation was as lovely as I hoped! The one thing we thought might have been an issue - the room temperature in December - was completely fine, and in fact we actually turned the heating down as it was so toasty. Other facilities like pool/steam/sauna and the Club lounge (pool table and snooker) were great too. Would happily return.

Excellent accommodation and overall stay!

The property is even better than advertised. Perfect luxury get away for two, we spent the first half of our honeymoon there and we’re very comfortable. The facilities are great and well equipped, great location right on the shore and close to the local amenities. Will definitely be back! (second bedroom small and would be slightly awkward with four adults due to main bedroom being a mezzanine- but perfect for kids)

Beautiful accommodation, beautiful setting

Stunning apartment, extremely well equipped, very unusual. We enjoyed the location on the shores of Loch Ness, within a short stroll of shops/pubs at Fort Augustus, and the facilities offered in the Abbey complex - swimming pool, billiards room and gym. Brilliant base for touring that area of the Highlands...
