About this property

Abbey Church 16, The Fairlie

The Fairlie is a large and beautifully decorated apartment located on the second floor (No Lift) and is accessed from the gothic Cloisters and then through the large Atrium. The large living room and the two bedrooms all benefits from wonderful views over the lawns and on to Loch Ness. The master suite has a modern feel, lovely décor and a large en-suite bathroom containing both a bath and walk in shower cubicle. The second bedroom has twin beds a drawer unit and small wardrobe. The family bathroom off the main hallway is spacious and well appointed. The apartment has a separate open plan kitchen area. This room lies within the original church and has elevated views over the Atrium where you can get great views of the gothic timber hammer head beams in the ceiling above. All guests receive a Highland Club welcome pack which includes a fruit bowl, wine and Highland Club clotted cream fudge.
The Highland Club is a collection of 4 and 5 star self catered apartments (serviced daily) set in 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the south shore of Loch Ness, also cradled by the Caledonian Canal and the River Tarff.
It occupies Grade A listed gothic buildings, originally the 1729 English fortification which became St Benedict’s Abbey. Located in the centre of The Highlands, Fort Augustus Abbey provides comfortable, private apartments as a relaxing base from which to explore Urquhart Castle, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Skye, Ben Nevis and whisky distilleries.

The Highland Club is unique, steeped as it is in centuries of Scottish history, and a special, relaxing place to stay – either on a self-catered holiday or as an owner of one of the luxury residences. Amenities exclusively for use by those who are staying with us include an indoor pool, steam and sauna, the club lounge and snooker room.

Within the grounds there is a tennis court and many other facilities including outdoor chess in the Cloister Garden, table tennis, badminton, croquet, boules, 5-a-side football and a cricket pitch with nets. The Boathouse Restaurant with its exclusive Loch side view is available both to guests and the local community alike.

Explore the grounds, walk along the shores of Loch Ness, stroll along the Caledonian Canal watching boats go by. From here the opportunities are limitless – from the more typical activities of walking, cycling, golf, sailing, fishing, shooting, archery, wow balling, ski-ing (in winter) and bird watching to the more unusual such as dog sledding and Munro Bagging.

Ágnes

One of the best hotels in Scotland, high standard, extra friendly staff.
We stayed at The Highland Club as a 3 nights stop of our road trip in the UK. It was super comfortable, huge rooms, and the kitchen was also super well equipped. Great view from our apartment over the Loch Ness. Lots of possibilities for leisure activities too.

Great quality in private and comforting surroundings
The flat was nice with good facilities. We had a nice feeling of privacy and leisure in the peaceful settings. All the way through our stay, we experienced high quality, which we highly appreciated as a family. Thanks for a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
In 2003 The Santon Group, a respected developer of listed buildings, purchased the dilapidated Grade A listed buildings and grounds of St Benedict's Abbey. A £30 million conversion of the site into The Highland Club was embarked upon and finally completed in 2012.

The Santon Group is dedicated to preserving the special character and many beautiful features of the Abbey, its cloisters and the great towers that make it such a landmark. However, inside a programme of total renovation and discreet building has transformed the original spartan accommodation into 97 distinctive one, two and three bedroom apartments. In addition, there are 12 charming cottages in the grounds.

Today the austerity of monastic life has given way to the warmth of modern leisure living.

The Highland Club is managed by a team of helpful on site staff who are overseen by the ever friendly Highland Club Manager, Mark Dallas.
