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.

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 (free WLAN connection!), also with the 'Boathouse' restaurant on site at the shores of Loch Ness there is so much to explore within the abbey and the extensive grounds.... you will have a very enjoyable, luxury stay!

Whilst here be sure to check out the NC500 which passes by Fort Augustus or take a day trip to the stunning Cairngorms, the largest National Park in the UK. Here you can enjoy walking, cycling, playing golf, visiting castles and even a bungee jump!
