Luxury Self Catering Apartment with Swimming Pool in the Grounds of a Monastery on Loch Ness

The Sacristy is a particularly special holiday apartment at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus. The owner takes enormous pride in the property and is exceptionally proactive in keeping it beautifully presented. Considerable care has gone into the interiors, which have been thoughtfully created with the help of a talented local interior designer. One of its outstanding features is the private terrace overlooking Loch Ness—something offered by very few properties at The Highland Club. It is a wonderful place to sit with a morning coffee or an evening drink while enjoying the spectacular Highland scenery. The communal barbecue area beside Loch Ness is also just a short stroll away. The Sacristy is ideal for families and friends, and it works especially well for larger groups when booked together with The Chapter House next door. Guests can enjoy a holiday together while still having the comfort and privacy of their own adjoining accommodation. Beautiful interiors, a superb location and that rare private Loch Ness terrace make The Sacristy an exceptional base for exploring Fort Augustus and the Scottish Highlands. Repeat guests receive a loyalty discount.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted The Sacristy was such a great base for the Loch Ness Marathon. The Highland Club is ideally located for runners, with convenient access to the event transport, and we also offer special deals for marathon guests. The Sacristy has recently been fully refurbished, with a private terrace, beautiful Loch Ness views, and a particularly luxurious bathroom with a bath, perfect for a long soak after the run. We’d love to welcome you back again. Well done for participating in The Loch Ness Marathon!

Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed The Sacristy and its beautiful location. We are sorry the welcome pack and BBQ were missed, and we will follow up with the team. We would be very pleased to welcome you back again and hope you take advantage of our repeat guest discount. Kind regards Joanne

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are delighted you had a wonderful holiday. This property is the only one with a private terrace overlooking Loch Ness which makes it very special, all rooms within the property look over Loch Ness. It is under new ownership and has been thoughtfully and meticulously decorated with a number of high-end additions such as the music system, intelligent lighting, new terrace and outdoor furniture.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The Sacristy has a new owner and they have invested time and effort in raising the standard of what was already a lovely property, adding a few more personal touches. We are delighted you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the uninterrupted views over Loch Ness from the rooms as uniquely The Sacristy has a private terrace over looking Loch Ness.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. You are correct, this building is historic and centuries of existence gives a certain ambience, although this is the first mention of this sort of smell! The Sacristy has new owners who have painstakingly decorated and refurbished the property last winter and added new soft furnishing and many new high quality items. We are pleased you have mentioned the swimming pool as we urge Highland Club Direct guests to book in advance of their stay. It is possible to book the pool up to 5 days in advance. Guests receive an automated email to book the facilities to enable them to organise their time efficiently. This is why it is important to receive your personal email address at the point of booking (contact details are requested). This is added to our system and these automated emails are able to be delivered allowing guests to access the booking system for all the facilities. To improve the enjoyment of the on-site facilities, guest numbers are limited to 10 for the pool, steam room and sauna area. The twin bedroom can be set up as a twin or super king bed arrangement, we have contacted the property manager to make sure they are ware that there is a mattress topper available when set up as a used Super King. We apologise if this was not added on this occasion. Kind regards Joanne Nicholson

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in The Sacristy and pleased you would consider another holiday. Thank you for pointing out that there is a good range of baby equipment in The Sacristy. I was surprised to hear you were disappointed with the quality of the local restaurants, I am wondering if you tried the Lovat Arms Hotel as this also comes highly recommended and has a bistro and a la carte menu? We hope you will visit again soon and take advantage of our repeat guest discount when booked through Highland Club Direct. Kind regards Joanne Nicholson
