Amazingly renovated fort/monestery
This was an absolutely unique experience staying in a former fort and monastery. The amenities were surprisingly updated and modern while maintaining such a historic charm. The renovation of the former chapel into a modern pool area was impressive and we truly enjoyed the dark wood, stained glassed lounge complete with games and a huge snooker table. We also took advantage of the outdoor game of croquet on the rear, loch side lawn. We will never forget our awesome stay at this extremely unique property!

Highlands Adventure
We traveled to Scotland to celebrate with three adult children the end of college tuition payments. Everyone loved the architecture and amenities of the monastery. We all enjoyed the pool, game room, the Boathouse Restaurant, and outdoor chess at the monastery. The quaint town and local hiking opportunity’s are a bonus.
