A hidden gem
This place was amazing. Fort Augustus is a great base for a wide variety of highland daytrips and this place was a perfect little home away from home. It's only about a two minute walk to the heart of the small town from your front door. The swimming pool is neat, the grounds are interesting to walk, and the restaurant was lovely.

Fantastic Base for the Highlands
Just Wow, from the moment you arrive at the gates the property itself is impressive. The house was a great base from which we explored Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Eilean Doran, Isle of Skye etc. The kitchen is small and seperate, but since we only made coffee and light breakfast it was no big deal. The shower is AMAZING! and was wonderful after a day of exploring. The residence is a short walk to town with lots of shops etc. The only suggestion I would make to improve the property is a WiFi booster/repeater on the ground floor as the master bedroom does not get WiFi and blocks mobile data. Would stay there again in a heart beat!

Unique experience
This property is fine, roomy, well-appointed. It wasn't for me because the master bedroom and bathroom did not have windows, making me and my claustrophobia very uncomfortable. Also the kitchen is very small and very separate from the living space in a different room. I like to cook and chat at the same time so this didn't suit our needs but might be perfectly fine for someone else. The owners and property managers addressed the concern immediately and we were given a more suitable accommodation at the abbey, which we enjoyed. The apartments don't reflect the age of the building, don't expect stone walls or old charm in the apartments. The interior is very modern. I enjoyed the pool and sauna once, that had a lot of character and good design. We enjoyed Fort Augustus, the local pub with a wood stove, loved that. And Loch Ness offered much more history and interesting facts than we had imagined. About the abbey, personally, despite the arched churchy attributes of high ceilings, wide hallways and some beautiful doors, I felt like I was in old school. I wouldn't go back but I do think it would be great for multiple families getting together, other people seemed to be quite happy.

A short trip to the highlands
We have stayed in this location before and found it very good for the walks and wonderful scenery. Accommodation was as advertised main bedroom has no windows so no access to wifi or any signal. Kitchen is small and compact.
