  • Monastery 17 is a beautiful top floor apartment , overlooking Loch Ness , just perfect for monster spotting
    Sleeps up to 7 with 2 bedrooms , a sofa bed in the lounge and a fold out chair with 2 bathrooms , All linen included

    The main bathroom is the star of the show , As you can bath overlooking Loch Ness , it has the largest window on site for the most spectacular view . Simply Breathtaking

    There is also free wi-fi and BT Vision in the apartment with Netflix films

    The Kitchen is very compact but has everything you should need, including a cooker & hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer etc.

    The photos do not do it justice !

    A point to note : due to the history nature of the building , there is no lift , And being on the top floor, there are a number of steps , but well worth it !

    Located within the 20 acres of private ground of St Benedict's Abbey. Our luxury holiday rental apartments overlook uninterrupted views of Loch Ness, Scotland, making them an ideal base for touring the Scottish Highlands. Activities for all the family including: Tennis Court, Table Tennis, Giant Chess, Croquet Lawn, Children's Adventure Play Area and barbecue area. Pamper Yourself with the Highland Club Spa and Swimming Pool, not forgetting the small but very equipped gym, should you have the energy after all of that ? .

Wonderful unique property with lovely views overlooking Loch Ness. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with it's own washer/dryer which we really appreciated after several days of walking! The swimming pool was great to unwind in after a day's exploring, and who can say they've been swimming in a converted chapel?! Thank you for making our stay so memorable :)

Our stay was unique and more than we had anticipated. The grounds and interior of the monastery were all exceptional and very interesting. The Bothy restaurant close by was a great place to eat.

A Vacation to Remember

This was the perfect spot for us. Located right on Loch Ness, this beautiful and stunning property was peaceful, clean, and quiet. Located about 45-50 minutes from Inverness, the Monastery was situated in a gorgeous town with some shops and restaurants.

One of the best properties we've ever stayed at!

This property is amazing! Yes, there's steps, but it's worth it! The view of the loch on one side, and the abbey on the other are picturesque! The flat is well appointed and comfortable; our group of four had plenty of room.

Monastery 17

The location and accommodations were fantastic! Our biggest concern, the stairs, was a nonissue, and we are all seniors. I would stay in the monastery again, should I be lucky enough to return to Scotland.

Fantastic with a capital F

Incredibly impressive building and setting. The apartment itself is awesome. Everything that you need is provided. The views of Loch Ness are fabulous but the view from the bathroom is amazing. This apartment definitely has the wow factor and we were blown away by the whole experience. Very highly recommended

Unique Holiday Experience

Beautiful location and amazing place. 72 stairs to our apartment was not really identified ( we knew there were some!!!!) The apartment had adequate facilities for our stay but none of the little extras some places have had in the pantry cupboard. Our promised Scottish biscuits were not shortbread but sticky marshmallow and chocolate. Well heated. Location fantastic for all we came to see in the area.

One of our best stays in Scotland!!

This was one of our favorite stays in our whole 10 day, 5 city tour of Scotland. We'll start with the check-in process. We were met outside by a wonderfully nice woman that toured us around the grounds, showed us all the amenities, and gave us a history of the facility. The location was amazing on the shores of Loch Ness and the views from the apartment were fantastic. We loved the space and the fact that there was a kitchen and a washer/dryer in the unit. The kitchen was especially helpful since it was hard to find a place for breakfast before 9am and we were often up and out early on adventures. It was also nice having the boathouse restaurant onsite, and the food there exceeded our expectations. The character of the building was surreal, and we had to keep pinching ourselves that we got to stay there. Be warned, there are a lot of stairs, but it is completely worth it. My one complaint with the property is the queen bed in main suite is very uncomfortable...really it needs to be replaced. Since it was just my wife and I we ended up sleeping in the other bedroom with the two single beds. Otherwise, we loved our time here and it was easily one of the best stays of our trip, I'd highly recommend.

The photos inside the apartment don’t do it justice. It is spacious, extremely clean and all kitchen pots/pans etc are modern and not scratched. Very tasteful in linens and bedding. The host Mark was quick to respond. There was also a caretaker (Jessica) who met us on arrival and guided us up to the apartment. I highly recommended this as a beautiful stay. Of course the building itself is stunning, facilities are great and it’s just perfect
