About this property

No.3 The Old Convent.

No.3 & No.4 are first floor apartments. No.3 is all on one level.
No.1 & 2 The Old Convent are ground floor apartments. All our apartments have been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard but keeping some of the character and adding modern central heating, insulation and double glazing!
The Old Convent is situated in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus on the southern tip of Loch Ness, which is virtually the geographical center of the Highlands. A perfect base for exploring the spectacular scenery and amenities that the area has to offer.
We, Felicity & Chris are local and live in what was the priests quarters when the building was originally a church and are able to suggest many wonderful day trips combining superb scenic drives and walks, with castles, brochs and ruins that you probably won't find in any guide book.
Fort Augustus is the perfect place to relax with a short walk to the center of the village where you can find grocery shops, butcher, post office, ATM, petrol station and several pubs and restaurants. You can take a boat trip up Loch Ness or simply chill on the canal side watching the boats negotiate the locks!

The Old Convent was originally built as a church in 1842, then converted into a convent 'St Scholastica's Priory' in 1891, the nun's took residence in 1892 until 1922 when the remaining nun's were moved to Holme Eden Abbey. Some of the nun's are buried in the graveyard at Fort Augustus Abbey, half a mile from the convent on the shores of Loch Ness.

We are close to main road with the convent woods to rear giving you privacy, and a fantastic view of golf course and Ben Tee to front.

If you wish to bring your dog please ask first. We accept most small/medium sized dogs but they are not allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture. We do have spare dog towels if needed.

The property is ready for guests arrival from 4pm. We ask that guests leave by 10am on day of departure as we need time to clean for next guests.
If an apartment is already booked for your preferred dates please ask as there are four apartments No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Felicity Rogers

Host profile image
We, Chris & Felicity are local and have lived in The Old Convent since 1994. We managed to buy this beautiful old building in 2009 and have been lovingly renovating it to a (we hope) very high standard keeping a lot of the original features but adding some modern and quirky touches.

Why they chose this property

The Old Convent is in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus on the southern tip of Loch Ness and is geographically the centre of the Highlands. We are surrounded by beautiful scenery and an abundance of wildlife plus the odd castle or two! Fort Augustus has all the amenities you may need.
