Relaxing holiday

Lovely property and very clean - would have rated it five stars but for a few bits 1. The wifi password had been changed and it took over 36 hours to get access to this. 2. There was no proper welcome package as promised - no milk or anything else - only a bottle of wine which nice though is not very good after a 10 hour drive - rushed to the shop to get milk etc. We had friends who were staying the same week in a ground floor flat for which they paid £1000 for 5 days as opposed to our £2100 for 7 days and they got a fabulous welcome package. 3. The bathroom lights were not working. Big thanks

Family Highlands Vacation

We couldn't ask for a more picturesque setting on the south shore of Loch Ness! The Highland Club was a perfect location to experience all of the riches of the Highlands. The Fraser unit provided beautiful views of the grounds and Loch Ness, and provided ample space for our family of 4. We did quite of bit of cooking and the unit was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Literally a couple minute walk to the restaurants and shops of Fort Augustus and perfectly placed for daily excursions in the Highlands. A vacation to remember for us all.

Fantastic apartment!!

On arrival at the site we were shown around the facilities and the apartment by Simon who was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the building. We found the apartment to be more than large enough for the four of us which included two teenagers. The specifications of the apartment were fantastic and high quality with the added bonus of amazing views up Loch Ness. The only slight drawback was the lack of a lift and the fridge being too cold, although this did not detract from what was a fantastic trip. Another big advantage of this apartment is the nearness of the local facilities, a five minute walk takes you to several great pubs/restaurants and the fascinatingloch keys for the Caledonian canal. Fort Augustus is also a brilliant base for exploring the local area as your halfway between Inverness and Fort William. One last recommendation is the Ness Deli in Drimnadrochit as the food is fantastic with amazing GF choices. In summary I would recommend the apartment in Highland Club to anyone fantastic facilities, amazing apartment and great location.
