The Highland Club
The Highland Club, set in 50 acres of managed grounds forms an integral part of Fort Augustus. The Abbey boasts a full range of amenities. From the sumptuous swimming pool, with its steam room and sauna to the stained-glass beauty of the lounge area with full sized snooker table. For the more energetic there is a fully stocked gym, tennis court (racket and balls are in the apartment), pétanque and boules pit, a wonderful and a well-used cricket pitch. After, why not relax in the Lochside Boat House restaurant gazing over the dark, deep waters of Loch Ness. Or take an evening stroll to watch the gentle waves lap onto the shore.
The location allows wider access to the area. A number of restaurants and pubs in the village are all within strolling distance as are the famous Telford Locks on the Caledonian Canal. Local amenities include a number of tourist shops and a grocery store. And boat tours leave regularly from the quay by the Abbey. You can book your cruises on Cruise Loch Ness website.

Inverness lies 45 mins to the North and Fort William and hour to the South. The Isle of Skye lies to the West and the Abbey nestles among the hills surrounding the loch. There are a number of stunning walks nearby, or why not use the available adult bikes and cycle along the Caledonian Canal.
