The space
The SCRIPTORIUM - once the secret 'writing room' of the monastery - forms now the very special framework of a unique one-bedroom-apartment on 2 floors with plenty of original features;
whilst lounge/kitchen and spacious bathroom is at ground floor, the bedroom is upstairs under the high chapel ceiling & surrounded by stained glass windows...fluffy bathrobes are provided to stroll to the ChapelPool and feel very cozy within your apartment!
This is a self-catering APARTMENT for 2, one of the very few in the abbey totally detached from other apartments.
NETFLIX & Co. are for you to enjoy at the TV in your lounge!
All facilities of The Highland Club available are included; like The Chapel Pool with sauna & steam room, The Club Lounge in the former refectory with full-sized snooker table, MiniGym, Tennis Court and so much more to explore!!!
Guest access
Surrounded on three sides by water, the abbey is set on the southern end of Loch Ness in 20 acres of beautiful mature garden grounds which extend right down to the shoreline of Loch Ness; its just 40 minutes drive from the City of Inverness.
THE HIGHLAND CLUB -as part of the services for YOU - includes an heated indoor swimming POOL with steam room & sauna, a well equipped MiniGYM, a tennis court, badminton net, giant chess, BBQ-places, croquet lawn, outdoor table tennis and cricket pitch, and a Club Lounge with full sized snooker table, also with the 'Boathouse' restaurant on site at the shores of Loch Ness... you will have a very enjoyable, luxury stay!
The Highland Club as the estate is known has implimented an online booking system for The Chapel Pool complex, Tennis Court and Gym; this in line with necessary limitations on capacity and time limits.
At the Abbey Church car park you will find Pod Point EV charger (7 kWh untethered Type).
Other things to note
This most romantic and centrally positioned retreat is ideal for a LONGER STAY with so much to explore right on your doorstep and within the former abbey...a perfect position for The Highlands of Scotland and even parts of West and East Coast returning each day to your cozy place at the shores of famous Loch Ness!
Please kindly respect that your stay should start on a day guests are leaving OR end at a day new guests are arriving. This is important for not having too many single one nights unoccupied, a 2 nights gap is oK.
Please otherwise enquire before booking, thanks!
