We really enjoyed staying here. It is such an impressive and unique building right on Loch Ness. The apartment is not luxury but good value, comfortable and has accommodations for a whole family. The bathroom really does have an amazing view. The other windows are a little more difficult to see out of unless you’re really tall. We also really enjoyed the pool and walking to the village.

Wonderful unique property with lovely views overlooking Loch Ness. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with it's own washer/dryer which we really appreciated after several days of walking! The swimming pool was great to unwind in after a day's exploring, and who can say they've been swimming in a converted chapel?! Thank you for making our stay so memorable :)

We would move in if we could. :) The pictures honestly don’t do this apartment justice. It’s clean, spacious, and the beds and couches were comfortable. Lots of natural light made it feel even bigger. The views are incredible - don’t miss a soak in the large stand alone tub that overlooks Loch Ness! The town is a two minute walk away and has the cutest shops and restaurants. We only had three nights here and could have stayed much longer. Really can’t overstate how amazing this place was.

This was the perfect spot for us. Located right on Loch Ness, this beautiful and stunning property was peaceful, clean, and quiet. Located about 45-50 minutes from Inverness, the Monastery was situated in a gorgeous town with some shops and restaurants.
