Visiting the Highlands
We loved the relaxing lovely setting. The ability to hang out and have time with friends in a nice home and places to walk about was wonderful. We did find it challenging to shower daily with 4 adults when the only shower was in a bathroom off a private bedroom. It would be helpful to put a shower in the downstairs bathroom for all to use. Even if it is just a modified faucet with a hanging shower hose. Thank you for letting us stay in such a wonderful spot.

Beautiful apartment in beautiful location.
Cottage 10 is exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and clean. Great location. The Abbey grounds are beautiful; walk into town is very nice. And the walk from the Abbey along the South Loch Ness Trial is wonderful! Also, great location for day trips west to Isle of Skye and north to Inverness and beyond.

Séjour de repos et de découvertes
Très bien située au bord du Loch Ness, nous avons apprécié de passer ces 10 jours dans cette propriété spacieuse qui offre toutes les commodités: deux chambres ( lit double un peu étroit cependant et à ressorts) ,terrasse, cheminée, four et frigo avec congélateur. Nous avons profité de la piscine, du spa et hammam, salle de sports de l'abbaye. Du thé et des gâteaux offerts à notre arrivée: merci!
