The Old Convent Apartments

The Old Convent Holiday Apartments provide a welcoming place to stay in the picturesque village of Fort Augustus on the southern shore of Loch Ness. Built in 1842 as a church and then a convent, the building has been lovingly refurbished by owners Chris and Felicity into beautiful self-catering holiday homes.

There are 4 apartments; 2 one bedroom on the ground floor for, a first floor one bedroom apartment and a first floor two bedroom apartment for 4 guests (age restriction16yrs). Each has spacious lounge with TV, free Wifi, DVD player and log burning stove;(no log burner in No.3) a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, lovely spacious bathrooms. There is a communal garden, a lockable shed for bicycles and car parking. Pets are welcome by arrangement.

Fort Augustus is the gem of the Highlands and really has everything; not only is the village itself beautiful and interesting with the Caledonian Canal and locks running through the centre and pubs/restaurants, craft shops, visitor centres, grocery, post office, bank and petrol station all very close by (and only a ten minute walk from The Old Convent which is within the village limits). But being geographically the centre of the Highlands on the southern shores of Loch Ness makes all areas of the Highlands easily accessible.

We are surrounded by beautiful scenery with an abundance of wildlife, the odd castle or two, amazing Munro’s and Corbetts for the more serious walker plus easy romantic (or not!) woodland walks on both sides of the village and don’t forget the famous Caledonian canal for a stroll. Lovely bicycle rides for all abilities (bicycle hire in the village), horse riding, fishing, kayaking, boat trips and a 9 hole golf course. Hey…sounds fantastic, think we will holiday here ourselves!
