Wonderful stay and we hope to return.”

The apartment was stunning and had fantastic views of the Loch. The location is ideal and was a short walking distance to restaurants and pubs. The facilities had been limited due to the pandemic however we were able to access the pool facilities on a booking system.
I did not feel that we should have been charged for the pool facilities. My understanding is that pre-pandemic this was inclusive of the price paid. It was £20 for four of us to swim for 45 minutes and when 2 other families are also in the pool it means there is very little space to actually swim.

Superb”

The property was very spacious for our family of six, it was very comfortable and very well situated in Fort Augustus. Everything was close to hand like shops, cafes, and the loch. We enjoyed our stay very much and would certainly recommend it.
What we didn’t like was for the amount of money we paid, we would have expected everything in the apartment to be in good working order. The toaster was only working properly on one side. The gas cooker had one of its burners not working, which made it quite difficult to cook at times. We were not happy that the so called coffee table had a lose glass top which overhung and caused a nasty injury to one of my family, cutting him on the leg, so we were forced to remove it for the remainder of our stay, as that was a health and safety issue!

Accommodation exceeded my expectations. Location and grounds also very good. When a fuse blew in the evening, Simon came round immediately to fix it. Lovely old building. Beds very comfortable.
The odd thing needed fixing: a ceiling light out in the en suite bathroom, tv didn’t work in the main bedroom, no instructions for the washing machine (we simply couldn’t work out how to dry clothes). Issue with fuse might annoy others more than it annoyed me (we were kindly warned on arrival and it only happened once during our one week stay).

2 night stay”

Beautiful location very helpful staff member on arrival
Very disappointed as nowhere did the literature say our apartment was in a 10 year old extension to the abbey. The communal areas were tatty and not clean when we arrived or cleaned when we were there and the accommodation was ok if I knew that is what we were getting and paid lot less. It was an extortionate price (just under £800 for 2 nights) which in order to get the location and what we thought was a lovely ‘olde worlde’ part of the Abbey, we accepted. The website ‘cleverly’ hides pictures of the modern extension and the description of our apartment very misleading. We were devastated at the amount we spent for what we got.

Ok, not coming back, overpriced.”

Simon was best host he told all about the place, showed all .... Very kind person, thank you Simon.
Pool was working only till 5pm and booking.com shows 9pm, misspelling, also showing restaurant is there but its not. After I learned that all info is in there website, but I booked in booking.com where its shows none of the TRUE info. Water is not enough for larger families, no shower gel nothing like that. For the price paid, would be nice to have slippers and shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser...... On top all that we wore asked to take rubbish to bin, what hotel will ask to take your rubbish and brig it to large bins?

Perfect location, beautifully clean, stunning apartment.”

Perfect location for exploring Loch Ness and it’s surrounds. Very short walking distance to amenities in town and the grounds were immaculate. The apartment was clean and spacious. Well equipped kitchen, excellent Wi-Fi connection and smart tv. Two excellent showers in the apartment and the pool was a fantastic addition to this facility.
The mattresses on the beds were a little on the soft side, although that could be just personal preference. Although the doors to all to the rooms were heavy to stop noise travelling throughout the apartment was great, it would have been handy to have a few door wedges to have the option to keep them open. The living space can feel a little dark and although there are plenty of lamps, perhaps brighter ceiling lights would help. Very minor details.
