Description
The Scriptorium Apartments offer self-catering accommodation for 2 in each of its stunning units, in a beautiful historic setting.
Guarding the Great Glen on the shores of Loch Ness, Fort Augustus Abbey has a long and often turbulent history that stretches back to the days of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie.
When arriving at The Highland Club, the former St. Benedict's Abbey, you enter your holiday retreat at the Moat House through its marvellous entrance and peacefulness starts with views into the Cloister Gardens.
The Scriptorium Apartments are unique and are one of the few detached apartments at the abbey; with high vaulted ceilings, gothic archways, mighty stone pillars and beautiful stained-glass windows...one with even a private inner courtyard garden!
There is a spectacular double bedroom (king-size bed), bathroom, and lounge with integrated, fully equipped kitchen with plenty of light and lovely views either towards the Abbey Church, Moat House and into the old trees of the west part of the abbey grounds OR into its own private garden with crowned kings, gargoyles and the stunning architecture of the outside of the cloisters.
Prices start at £770 a week for 2 in one of the apartments, and short breaks (from 2 days) are also be possible. Included in the price; heating and fluffy bathrobes, and membership to The Highland Club.
