Ever dreamed of staying in a Scottish castle? 🏰 We found something that might be even better! A historic Victorian abbey right on the shores of Loch Ness, complete with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and private apartments overlooking one of Scotland's most famous lochs. And yes, you can even go looking for Nessie! 🐉
Located in the charming Highland village of Fort Augustus, The Highland Club (rated 4.7/5 on Tripadvisor) is a former Victorian abbey that's been transformed into beautiful self-catering apartments. You'll have your own kitchen, living space, and access to some pretty incredible amenities, including an indoor pool, sauna, tennis court, and games room.
We found stays from $264 per night for two guests, with availability in November, December, January, and February when booking two nights. That's a pretty tempting excuse to plan a winter escape to the Scottish Highlands!
🏴☠️ Pirate Tip: You can't stay on Loch Ness without doing a little Nessie hunting! 🐉 The famous loch stretches 23 miles through the Highlands, and the nearby village of Drumnadrochit is home to the Loch Ness Centre, where you can learn all about Scotland's most mysterious resident.
While you're there, don't miss Urquhart Castle, whose ruins overlook the loch. And you won't even need to drive to explore Fort Augustus! The village is a short walk from the abbey, where you can watch boats pass through the Caledonian Canal's famous five locks before stopping at a cozy Highland pub.
