Apartment had a unique layout but the setting of the old Abbey was magical. The amenities were plenty. We enjoyed playing croquet and snooker, but the pool closes early so we didn't make it down. All of the furniture was comfortable and kitchen supplies were adequate for cooking. It was a short walk into town and the views of loch ness were spectacular. We would feel blessed to be able to come again.

Would not return or recommend. Not good for walking and a very unattractive building and town.

Absolute gem of a rental unit. Large neo-gothic windows in the living room just give it a very serene feeling. Very confortable unit with all you need. Arrival was easy and we had a tour of the property. Incredible facilities: pool, sauna, outside chess, inside billiard room, etc. The grounds looking out on Loch Ness are pristine. We had a small problem with the gas furnace which stopped working once or twice, but the staff were quick to respond and fix things. Small downside is that Fort Augustus is relatively far from anywhere you will want to visit in the Highlands. But I think this is true of anywhere in the Highlands as everything is 1-2 hours by car. But in the end, I would come back to this place, and this unit, anytime.

We had an perfect stay at the Talisker apartement. The building nestled in a park on the shore of the Loch Ness is just amazing. The apartment was gorgeous and we enjoyed the beautiful pool, the tennis court, the gym... The staff was really kind and helpful. Communication really easy. We adored it! Highly recommanded.

Amazing place in a beautiful location.This was a family get together after a long 4 years apart and it was worth the wait,it included 3 generations and all ages and it suited all of us…especially the children.The only negative was the stairs for us oldies The boat trips were only 5 minutes away and the locks were a lovely place to relax and have a coffee.We always judge a place by asking would we return? and we all said yes!

Amazing campus. Beautiful little town. Plenty to eat and drink. Good base of operations to stay and take day trips from. No elevator was tough for a party of six with two 70+ year olds and luggage. Great place to stay at. Charles was extremely kind and helpful. Gave us a 30 minute tour to acquaint ourselves with the place.

It was a lovely apartment, all the necessities you need, however could have done with a better clean upon someone arriving (under sofas/beds). Upon saying that, I would definitely stay/recommend here again. Pool was great, kids had a fantastic time exploring the grounds.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Talisker apartment at The Highland Club. The apartment was cosy, luxurious and extremely spacious. Everything was well-kept and super-clean too. There was plenty to do inside the Monastery itself. The children felt like they were at Hogwarts as they wandered around the corridors. The swimming pool, ping pong table, giant chess and games room were all massive hits and well-used by our family. The little village of Fort Augustus is very well set up for tourists. Although we don't live too far from Loch Ness, it was a real treat to be staying right on the banks of the Loch and the view up the loch itself was absolutely breathtaking. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was waking on the last morning to find a dusting of snow everywhere. Absolutely magical.

Its a lovely apartment, but dishwasher doesn't clean very well (every thing had to be run twice). The heating turned off while we were there, and though Simon, the maintenance man, came around and fixed it, one doesn't want to be dealing with this on holiday. Similarly, the door of the washing machine was broken. It took a while to get in touch with someone....and then, after Alan explained how to door shut over the phone, the dryer function of the washing machine started giving an error code and stopped working. This was late at night, leaving us with a load of wet laundry to dry. Also, the outside shower is blocked, causing the bathroom floor to flood. And the beds in both bedrooms are very uncomfortable, and could do with replacing.

Our family of 4 (with a 19 and 22 year old) had a dream vacation with the Talisker apartment at The Highland Club as our base of operations. We roamed from Talisker Beach on the Isle of Skye to Edinburgh to Inverness and came back each night to our home away from home. We also fell in love with Fort Augustus and loved walking into the village for shopping, food, and drink.

10/10

Die Wohnung Talisker im Highland Club ist ein toller Ort , um Ruhe zu bekommen. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet und nur weiter zu empfehlen. Wir waren 1 Woche mit 5 Erwachsenen dort und haben alle Orte die wir besuchen wollten innerhalb eines Umkreises von 2h via Auto besucht ( Skye, Fort Williams, Inverness, Whisky Destillerie Dalmore, Glenmorangie ) Der Service ist auch ausgezeichnet vom Highland Club . Was gemacht werden muß in der kompletten Anlage des Klosters ist das Fitnesszimmer. Dort sind die ein oder anderen Maschinen defekt . Dies als Anmerkung. Fazit: Nur zu empfehlen !

We had a wonderful 4 nights at The Highland Club. The facilities were fantastic and there was always something to do no matter what the weather was doing so my kids were never bored. There’s a lovely 50 minute boat cruise around Loch Ness which we enjoyed and the Boatshed bistro is convenient for dinner. The apartment is spacious and has everything a family of 5 needs including board games and rackets for tennis, ping pong and badminton. The staff are friendly and helpful. All around an excellent place to stay - highly recommend !
