When arriving at The Highland Club, the former St. Benedict's Abbey on the shores of Loch Ness, a sense of peace starts. You follow the cloisters with its atmospheric view into the Cloister Gardens to enter directly into the Scriptorium (meaning secret writing room) Apartment.
This very special apartment is unique - one bedroom detached apartment on 2 floors with the original beamed chapel-like ceiling which is simply beautiful, gothic archways, mighty stone pillars and beautiful stained-glass windows!
The open plan lounge with dining area and integrated kitchen benefits from glorious tall windows right into the ceiling which give masses of light and lovely views towards the Abbey Church and across the 20 acre gardens. The first floor bedroom with king-size double bed would be suitable for an abbot or anyone who likes a little luxury. The bedroom has the original beamed chapel-like ceiling, a sky light to watch the stars & clouds from your bed and the special romantic atmosphere created by stained-glass windows with symbols of the past home of monks.
