The Captain's Apartment is an impressive property offering charming original features as well as modern comfort and convenience.

This unique split-level apartment is accessed via the cloisters and comprises of two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open plan kitchen/living/dining area with double height ceilings and large original sash windows.

The views from here are over the Old School Lawn towards the Caledonian Canal and Great Glen beyond. The modern kitchen area has an ‘island’ unit and is fully fitted to the highest standard, and includes top of the range appliances and black granite work surfaces.

The two bedrooms allow 4 people to sleep comfortably in the apartment and the two bathrooms are fitted with high quality, white sanitary-ware and equipped with luxurious toiletries designed, formulated and produced on the unspoiled Isle of Arran by Arran (Sense of Scotland) as well as Dermatologist and Paediatrician approved toiletries for baby and child by Gold Award winning Child’s Farm.

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.
