Truly a special place
Such a beautiful spot! We so enjoyed ourselves in the Highlands. Struan could not have been a better apartment to relax in and enjoy the views of the Abbey and Lochness. The apartment is very nice and equipped with all you need. Fort Augustus is a charming town as well. Truly a special place

Lovely apartment with fabulous views
The apartment was very spacious and very comfortable. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay - except the advertised 'full SKY package'. This was a minor irritation and overall we would very much recommend this apartment.

Stunning location
The apartment is located in a most beautifully converted monastery, with stunning views over Loch Ness from the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. The master bedroom was a good size with a very well appointed bathroom and everything was spotlessly clean. The swimming pool/sauna/steam room were also very nicely appointed and just a short walk through the cloisters from our apartment, with bath robes provided in our room. Sadly, the oven didn't work properly and despite several phone calls and a visit from an electrician, the fault was never properly resolved during our stay. Since this is a premium self-catering apartment, we felt that this detracted from what was otherwise a lovely place to stay.
