Stormy

So relaxing, I feel like a whole new person!
Staying at the Highland Club was wonderful, with my two dogs and my daughter, we relaxed and had little adventures. The place was so clean and had everything anyone could want to fend for themselves. The beds were so comfortable at the end of our stay I went online to find the same brand of pillows to buy for my self! The situation right on the water was perfect and my daughter loved the pool , I wish we could have stayed longer!

Alastair

A truly iconic area to stay in, the venue is fantastic steeped In history with a modern flare
Every part of our stay was tailored to us. From arriving and seeing the fridge stocked with essentials, cupboards with cleaning items, sauces and condiments and a healthy supply of coffee! As well as having all of your at home amenities, TV, WiFi, ironing boards, board games, drying racks, sports equipment and umbrellas for occasional incremental weather. The pool and gym area are a fantastic addition but the grounds of the Abbey make the full stay. The staff are all incredible and attentive.

The most wonderful place to stay
A breathtaking building in a breathtaking location. The Riverside Cottages are perfect for families surrounded by wild rabbits and ducks. You are right on the loch so can enjoy it from dusk until dawn. Staff are very welcoming and The Highland Club add little personal touches to make you feel at home. Close to Fort William, Urquhart Castle, the loch cruise dock and Great Glen Ways Trail. We will be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
In 2003 The Santon Group, a respected developer of listed buildings, purchased the dilapidated Grade A listed buildings and grounds of St Benedict's Abbey. A £30 million conversion of the site into The Highland Club was embarked upon and finally completed in 2012.

The Santon Group is dedicated to preserving the special character and many beautiful features of the Abbey, its cloisters and the great towers that make it such a landmark. However, inside a programme of total renovation and discreet building has transformed the original spartan accommodation into 97 distinctive one, two and three bedroom apartments. In addition, there are 12 charming cottages in the grounds.

Today the austerity of monastic life has given way to the warmth of modern leisure living.

The Highland Club is managed by a team of helpful on site staff who are overseen by the ever friendly Highland Club Manager, Mark Dallas.
