No 8 at the Fort Augustus Abbey is now ready for self catering. This exclusive development of twelve cottages is nearing completion and we are delighted to offer you the cottage for your self catering holiday.

Once completed this will include a swimming pool and a residents lounge with pool/snooker table and internet access. Tennis courts, badminton, table tennis, croquet lawn and a giant chess set are now available and with a barbecue area and seating by the loch side you will be able to enjoy the long summer evenings, chatting with new friends and just soaking up the view. The Abbey at Fort Augustus is the ideal place to get away from it all and spend some quality time just relaxing and enjoying the refined atmosphere of this historic Abbey.

The Boathouse restaurant, on the shores of Loch Ness is just a couple of minutes walk from your accommodation and the facilities of the village of Fort Augustus, again are only a few minutes walk. Walking, cycling, golfing, fishing are all well catered for in the surrounding areas and the cottage is ideally located for touring the Highlands.  Fort William, Isle of Skye and Inverness the capital of the Highlands - all are within an hour's drive from your accommodation.

Fort Augustus is a very popular holiday destination and offers visitors a variety of restaurants and bars along with a small supermarket and a post office.  The Caledonian canal runs through the village and many an hour can be spent just watching the boats going through the locks on their way to and from Loch Ness, or you can take a trip on Loch Ness and do a spot of “Nessie” hunting.

The cottage is set over two floors with an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, and bathroom downstairs. Upstairs is the master bedroom, together with an en-suite with bath and a seperate shower, and an additional double bedroom, this room also has a sofa bed that can sleep an extra two guests.
