Old School 11 is a first floor luxury self catering apartment at the historic Fort Augustus Abbey, a magnificent building which stands in 20 acres of beautifully maintained garden grounds at the southern end of Loch Ness and which, until recently, was home to an order of Saint Benedictine monks. The Abbey is surrounded on three sides by waters of the Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness and two rivers. - Shops, restaurants and bars of Fort Augustus are just a few hundred yards from the apartment.
- You are, quite literally, able to dip your toes into Loch Ness, within the abbey grounds just a few yards from the apartment.
- You can relax in the gardens or play tennis in the enclosed tennis court.
- The acres of lawns and mature trees flow through long terraces and broad flights of Victorian steps right down to the waters edge.
- To experience Loch Ness in this tranquil and truly awe inspiring setting, just as the generations of St Benedictine monks before you must have done, will leave you with a holiday experience that you will surely remember and cherish forever.
The Abbey, the oldest building in Fort Augustus, is built on the site of an old Hanovarian fort named after William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the original foundations still form part of the buildings today. It was more recently a school, run by the monks, but it was closed some years ago due to financial pressures when, finally, the Monks closed the Abbey as a place of worship and the buildings were sold. Now, Fort Augustus Abbey, a Grade A listed building, has been painstakingly and tastefully renovated and converted into luxury apartment accommodation. This accommodation is mostly high quality executive class self catering holiday homes while others will be used as second homes.
Facilities Large open plan lounge / kitchen / dining room with solid oak furniture. Satellite freesat TV / DVD /video player. CD player. Wireless broadband. Views onto the cloisters and the hills. Facing south, this apartment gets plenty of sunshine. Kitchen equipment includes a gas hob, electric oven, fridge and freezer, washer / drier, dishwasher and microwave. Electrical equipment has been chosen with quality and the environment in mind. Master king size bedroom with en-suite bath and separate shower. The twin bedded second bedroom has an adjacent bathroom with bath and shower over. Full gas central heating. Gas, electricity, bed linen and towels are included in the price. We are so sorry that the apartment is, unfortunately, unsuitable for dogs. Due to the apartment being on the first floor, disabled visitors would find the stairs difficult. Sorry no smoking. Please note:
The Old School is phase 1 of a 3 phase renovation project and work on other buildings may be in progress during your stay. As the Old School itself is completely finished, you should not be inconvenienced although this cannot be guaranteed. The prices for the apartment have been set to take the building work into consideration.
