Absolutely amazing property!
We were excited about the place from the pictures, and the reality was even more amazing. We loved the location, the views, and the unit itself had everything we could’ve asked for. Parking was super easy, everything was very secure, clean and welcoming. Thank you Jonathan for such a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Living in History!
We stayed at the Loch Ness Abbey for 4 nights and this will rate as one of the best, most historic VRBO’s we’ve stayed at. It was a bit difficult to find but our host showed up at the abbey and gave us a tour and then showed us to our room. Luis G was an outstanding host for us. We stayed on the fourth floor of the old bell tower and we looked directly out over Loch Ness. Nothing better that this view! The apartment had everything we needed and was supplied with some nice coffee’s and tea’s when we arrived. If there is a downside it would be the amount of stairs to get to our apartment but that was made very clear to us prior to arrival and so we had no issues at all. The game room was a wonderful place to just sit and relax and play a game of pool. if you love living in history and overlooking a beautiful loch, then this place is for you. I would recommend to anyone staying in Loch Ness and the Fort Augustus area. One other thing to mention is the grocery store and all of the canal businesses are just a few minutes walk. That would include the Loch Ness boat tour ticket building! 10/10 for our family!

Incredible property
Spectacular property in an ideal location. The Abbey felt magical - my daughter said she felt like she was staying at Hogwarts. The amenities were perfect for a family vacation. The apartment was well stocked with everything we could have needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. The view of Loch Ness and the surrounding hills was unbeatable. All shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance and the location was a great central one to see lots in the highlands. We easily did a day trip to the Isle of Skye. Highly recommend for a family trip!

Wonderful Stay in Fort Augustus
Two adult friends, my teen daughter, and I had a short but delightful stay in Gruinyards. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and well-outfitted with a gorgeous view, and the Abbey was a serene, beautiful, and interesting place to explore. (Our only regret is that we had just a single night there.) We ate a delicious dinner at the Boathouse overlooking Loch Ness. (Make sure to secure a reservation. We didn't have one and were lucky they were able to squeeze us in!) Jonathan was very responsive and a superb resource for some of my questions about pre- and post-stay travel times and routes. We also appreciated the very detailed information he included about the property and Fort Augustus. If we're ever able to return to Scotland, we'll definitely stay here again (and for longer).

Abbey stay
Great location!! Accommodations were nice. Could have used a few more towels for the stay. Pool and sauna were very nice. A bit disappointed with the sign up process. We signed up for a specific time. Thought we would be the only family there based upon the information when signing up. There were 14 other people in the room. Not as relaxing would like to been. Everyone in town was quite charming.

Felt like a dream
This property starts out a bit mysterious and then becomes a place you will never want to leave.The beauty of the Abbey itself is otherworldly. If you've ever wanted the experience of staying in a castle, you might just get your wish if you stay here. While the apartment was modern and full of all the comforts of home (including super cozy beds), you will feel like you're in another time altogether when you look out those incredible windows or walk the hallways to access the pool or play chess in the courtyard. This place is special. Our family didn't want to leave after our 3 days spent here. The stairs will make you rethink running back up to the apartment for that jacket you forgot to grab. But they were so worth it! Lots of restaurants and activities in walking distance.

Perfect Vacation in Scotland
Visiting Scotland with my wife and three children (14, 12, 10). We spent the first 1/3 of our trip at the Abbey and we were not disappointed. The rental was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. But more than that, it was very unique… can’t say I’ve ever stayed anywhere that was so steeped in history. The view from the 4th story windows of the loch, mountains, and abbey grounds were truly beautiful. We enjoyed exploring the building and grounds so much that the kids were disappointed if I kept them off-property too late - they were huge fans of the oversized chess game in the courtyard. We found ourselves regretting our departure after only 4 nights. Location-wise, we planned activities between Fort William and Inverness for this leg of the journey and enjoyed the drive to each. We even picked up a few unplanned stops along the way as we drove along Loch Ness. Locally, it was an easy walk from the abbey to Fort Augustus. We were able to find dinner, groceries, and shopping within a very short stroll. We would definitely book again. This was one of my personal favorite rentals I have ever secured through VRBO.

Amazing Place to Stay
The apartment was spacious for the 5 of us & was clean & well stocked. There were dvds, games, books, paddles & racquets, balls, etc. The beds were very comfortable & I had the best sleeps of our vacation. The bathrooms were spacious & the master bedroom was lovely though unfortunately we had to give it up to our son & his family. :( The service from the Highland Club was very quick & efficient. We wanted extra towels for swimming & they were delivered right away. We also asked for a deep frying pan, as the one supplied was quite grotty, and it was also delivered right away. As for the atmosphere of staying in an old abbey, it was awesome, especially walking the cloisters. We used the swimming pool every day and had a few rousing games of table tennis & pool. Walking the area was easy and scenic & we even managed to find a sheep farm with plenty of young lambs running about. We were also fortunate enough to catch a cricket game on the lawn of the club. There are a couple of things to be aware of though. The hot water in the apartment is extremely hot & can scald quickly so you have to be very careful. It might be an idea to reduce the temperature setting, especially if children are using the space. Also, the floor tiles in the swimming pool change area are treacherous when wet. Other than those 2 issues we had a wonderful time & would highly recommend The Gruinyards.

Gorgeous apartment-fantastic week
I have just returned from a week staying at Gruinyards with my 18 yr old son and his mate. We all had an amazing time. The apartment has the most stunning view of the loch and I could just have sat in the lounge and looked at the view all week. The apartment was spotlessly clean and incredibly well equipped and the en-suite bathroom is superb. We visit the Highland Club every year and so know the area and enjoyed walking as usual, hired bikes in Fort William ( so disappointed can no longer hire bikes in the local hardware store) and clay pigeon shooting at Rothiemurchus. The boathouse restaurant was closed for refurb unfortunately but we ate in The Bothy across the road despite the poor reviews but we had an excellent meal. Can’t wait for our next trip and hope Gruinyards is available as it is the nicest apartment we have stayed in at the Club.

Stunning location. Stunning surroundings
I took my partner and kids 7 and 9 and our friend. The drive to Gruinyards from Glasgow was perfect. Stunning scenery. The monastery itself is a beautiful building. The apartment in question is a good few minutes walk from the car park, up 70+ stairs. I know this is mentioned in the ad, but if like us you’re taking shopping up it is hard work! The apartment is sizeable and there’s plenty to keep you occupied. The place was clean and airy. The views are unbelievable, particularly the Loch. In walking distance is a small village with everything you’ll need. Would definitely recommend!!!

One of a kind Lodging in a heavenly highland setting
Fort Augustus and the Abbey both blew away expectations and created an unforgettable part of our Scottish adventure. Just like the pics, the Abbey is a magnificent combination of history and grandeur. With Loch ness as it's back yard, no part of the lodging did not leave an impact. Ping Pong table setting in a hall with 50 foot ceilings. Lounge that felt like the most comfortable place on Earth. Just fun at every turn,

Clean, well equipped and beautiful views!
My wife and two children (10 & 11) stayed at Gruinyards for 4 nights. Upon arrival the gated premises is instantly impressive. We met the management who showed us around the facility and led us to our room. The Abbey has everything a family needs to keep entertained; my kids especially enjoyed the pool, table tennis and bunny counting. The apartment itself is bright, clean and well equipped. The views of Loch Ness and the surrounding hills are amazing. While at Gruinyards, we saw some of the most vibrant Rainbows that we have ever seen. The overall location of the apartment is great. Within a short walk we were at a nearby Grocer, several Pubs, historic Caledonian Canal, gift shops and boat tours. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property and would recommend to families such as ours.

Simply Breathtaking
Unlike anything I've ever seen, The Gruinyards is quite spectacular. Even Charlie checking us in said it has the best view of all the apartments in the building. Hard to manage though if you are a heavy packer or out of shape (no elevator-and the apartment is on the American 4th floor...75 steps to the top) but the views are worth it! Gorgeous grounds, well maintained and loved, and the apartment was everything you could want. The washer/dryer would not seem to dry our clothes but that may be user error. Overall, this was gorgeous and loved our time there ...maybe next time we can stay longer! Beware that most things in "town" close very early!

Comfortable apartment in stunning setting
This apartment is roomy, modern, and fully equipped, in a unique setting. The Highlands Club is renovated apartments in an old abbey on the banks of Loch Ness. The grounds are spacious with plenty of room for lawn games as well as strolling. The interior approach to the apartment is also beautiful, with much of the old architecture preserved, including the enclosed cloisters and central courtyard. There is a swimming pool and exercise room, although we did not use them, preferring to get our exercise hill walking and biking. There is also a lounge area with snooker and plenty of seating for quiet reading. In addition to the loch, the abbey is adjacent to the Caledonian Canal and the lower locks at Fort Augustus. There is plenty of parking available on the grounds. There is a surprisingly well stocked grocery located in the gas station about a block away. We had bought groceries on the way, but if we had not, we would have been able to get almost everything we needed here. There are also a large number of restaurants within walking distance, from pub food to more upscale dining. The apartment itself has a master suite and a smaller bedroom, although even the small bedroom is lovely. The views from the apartment are superb - we were able to watch boats on the loch and plenty of wildlife. Both bathrooms are generously sized. There is a soaker tub in the master and a tub/shower combo in the hall bath. The kitchen really is fully equipped and there was tea, coffee, biscuits and milk waiting for us. There were salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar in the apartment, but any other spices you may want will need to be purchased or brought from home. The refrigerator is full sized with a large freezer beneath. There is both a dishwasher and a washer/dryer combo. Note to Americans - the dryer will not get your clothes bone-dry. There are drying racks in both baths which will finish the process for you. I have found that this is common in European units. It was immaculately clean. The owner was very helpful with lots of advance information. The manager who showed us the apartment was also very thorough and informative.

Fabulous!
The apartment was spacious, modern, nicely decorated and clean. All communication was clear and check in was easy. Upon arrival, the manager showed us around the property and the apartment and answered all of our questions. There were cookies, coffee, and tea in the cupboard and milk in the fridge. There were books, DVDs, local guide books, board games, etc as well. It felt like we were at home. Best of all, because it is located on the fourth floor of the Abbey, the apartment has spectacular views of Loch Ness and the surrounding property. We were beside Loch Ness and the canal. It was a very short walk to the pretty village of Fort Augustus and its local pubs, restaurants and shops. We would recommend the nearby Boathouse Lochside restaurant, the Lovat Brasserie and the Loch Inn. Fort Augustus is very centrally located for exploring the Highlands. Essentially, everything was exactly as outlined in the description and photos. Except it was better. We would definitely stay again!

Ein wundervolles Apartment in perfekter ruhiger Lage, man kann sich einfach nicht satt sehen am Ausblick auf Loch Ness. Das Apartment ist voll ausgestattet mit allen was man braucht.

Ok, die Koffer 75 Stufen hochschleppen war schon etwas mühsam, aber das vergisst man gleich wieder wenn man mit so einen wundervollen Ausblick entschädigt wird. Die gesamte Anlage bietet viele Möglichkeiten um sich sportlich zu betätigen, es gibt auch ein Schwimmbad und eine Sauna. Parkplätze stehen reichlich zur Verfügung und in 5 Minuten zu Fuß ist man mitten im Örtchen Fort Augustus mit Restaurants, kleinen Geschäften und Supermarkt. Das Apartment liegt so idyllisch, auf dem Rasen hoppeln lauter Häschen, Enten schwimmen auf dem Loch Ness.....hier kann man den Altagsstress vergessen. Selbst das Wetter hat es gut mit uns gemeint und wenn es doch mal geregnet hat, wurden wir mit einem perfekten Regenbogen über Loch Ness entschädigt.

Perfect, this is somewhere you will want to stay:-) A wonderful apartment in a truly peaceful location, you just can’t get enough of the view of Loch Ness. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable (‘cuddly’), perfect for a good night's sleep. Ok, carrying the suitcases up 75 steps was a bit of a hassle, but you forget that as soon as you're compensated with such a wonderful view. The complex as a whole offers many opportunities for sports activities and there is also a swimming pool and sauna. Parking is abundant and 5 minutes walk takes you to the middle of the village of Fort Augustus, which has restaurants, small shops and a supermarket. The apartment has an idyllic situation, with bunnies hopping on the lawn and ducks swimming on Loch Ness ..... here you can forget the stress of the day. Even the weather was fine with us and when it rained, we were compensated with a perfect rainbow over Loch Ness. Nothing if not totally romantic :-) We will definitely be back.
