Great home base for hiking and adventures

Property was clean and as advertised. As an American, there are always a couple surprises with Scottish fixtures, but everything was sound and easy to use. The larger site was lovely, and provided a little buffer from a pleasant town that gets quite busy when the tourists are out. Foodies should check out Station Road. Check-in process was a little confused and chaotic, but once we found the right people everything was easy. Key thing to know is that multiple management companies serve the various units on the property.

Great location but not for elderly

The Highland club is lovely and location is great. Our manager could not have been more or helpful. Our challenge was the bedrooms were 21 narrow winding steps to bathroom. The “master” is a bit of a small bed for American standards but it’s my trips to the bathroom at night that forced me to the twin beds that I might not wake my spouse. Suffice to say the twin mattresses need to be replaced as you can feel the springs. Lovely home otherwise but if you are older not too comfortable.

Perfect stay

Very nice flat. However, it should be noted that the bedrooms are on the upper floor and are reached via a staircase. The pool area and tennis courts are never too full due to the need to make a reservation. The village is a 3 minute walk and the location on Loch Ness is a dream. We would book the flat again.

A pleasant stay

The first impression was good. We were awaited by a guide who showed us around and made us feel welcome. The house we were staying in was nice, although one door of the wardrobe in the guestroom was broken. Also the stove was dirty when we used it, but after we apped the manager it was cleaned. We missed the 'personal touch'. Everything was dealt with via Whats app. Also when we left we had to drop the key in a box without seeing anybody. But ll in all we had a great holiday.

Beautiful peaceful property

The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. We loved the surrounding property of the Highland Club - 20 beautiful, peaceful acres on Loch Ness. Our questions were quickly answered by the Reception staff (Mandy and others). We highly recommend this apartment. However, the apartment may not be suitable for people with mobility problems - a steep, narrow staircase to the bedrooms and the bathroom is on the main floor. Also the tub is not easy to enter and exit.

Schönes Ferienhäuschen in traumhafter Anlage

Kleines Ferienhaus in einer traumhaften, fast mystischen sehr gepflegten Anlage. Sehr ruhig und event für Erhokung und aber auch Abenteuer. WLAN-wichtig für die Teenager einwandfrei, netter und unkomplizierter Empfang. Die Wohnung selbst mut allen ausgestattet was nötig ist, Sofas sehr bequem, Betten ok, Hauptschlafzimmer ein Kleiddrschrank und 2x Nachttisch. im Kinderzimmer zu wenig Schrankfläche und kein Platz für Tisch etc. und die Bettkästen sind unbrauchbar, weil total verklemmt. In der Küche sind leider keine Schüsseln vorhanden und auch keinerlei Gewürze etc von eventl Vorgängern. Man muss also alles neu kaufen

Perfect weekend stay

We had such a lovely weekend in the Moat House. Perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The property was spotless and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful and we made good use of the plentiful facilities - tennis courts, swimming pool, table tennis and the snooker and pool tables in the lounge. Will highly recommend to our family and friends.

Unique & pretty - but a few design flaws

We chose Highland Club for its location (for Highland day trips) and the quality of the units. The setting is wonderful, loved the pool and my husband enjoyed some snooker. We were welcomed with good shortbread and a bottle of wine on the dining table. This apartment has some lovely finishes but some basic daily-living details could be better addressed. Not a deal-breaker, but it will help guests to consider in advance. The kitchen has designer finishes but no upper cupboards; while all the lower cupboards are filled with pots, pans, lots of useful tools but there is no empty space for pantry goods. (We emptied one shelf of frypans for our food.) In the master bedroom, the bed is under the steep ceiling with dormer windows, so one must crouch getting in and out of bed (and I'm short). We literally moved the bed over a foot, to minimize bumping my head. The whole room arrangement needs to be reconsidered. There is no bureau, which is odd, and inconvenient. The second bedroom does have 2 single storage beds with drawers on the bottoms. For a party of 4 though, clothes storage would be awkward. As would hanging wet bath and/or pool towels, as there is only one small towel warmer and one towel rod in the bathroom. Most importantly, for those with mobility issues: as others have noted, the 20 stairs to the bedrooms are steep - that is, the risers are high - and narrow, like a walled-in spiral. With the bathroom on the lower floor, that should be a consideration. Also, the floor of the tub is elevated above the bathroom floor, and there are no grab bars for stability (the glass half-panel is hinged, not fixed). We are fit and mobile, but we had to take care especially stepping out of the tub. Except for the stairs, I hope these are inconveniences the owners could eliminate to make longer stays much more comfortable.

Heerlijke omgeving, mooie locatie, fijn appartement met paar verbeteringen

De communicatie was goed en professioneel, de informatie van tevoren was top en hielp enorm bij de voorbereidingen. Het huisje was knus, goed schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook was er een kleine attentie achtergelaten als welkom wat natuurlijk helpt bij het ontvangst. Heel leuk en persoonlijk. De contactpersoon op lokatie was altijd behulpzaam en erg aardig. Een paar verbeterpunten; - de bedden moeten vervangen worden. Het 2-persoonsbeschrijving is ronduit klein 130x190, zakte door in het midden (verbogen balk) en de matras was mede daardoor ook niet stevig genoeg meer. Het ergste is verholpen tijdens ons verblijf door de balk provisorisch te ondersteunen, maar het bleef behelpen. De bedden in de tweede kamer hadden veren die te ver door de bovenlaag heen staken. Wij hebben dit opgelost door er een dekbed overheen te leggen maar een topmatras erop zou een minimale oplossing zijn. - de eettafel had een slechte bovenlaklaag waardoor alles er aan bleef plakken en ook onderzetters enorme sporen achterlieten (kurk bleef vastplakken aan tafel) - de badkamer heeft geen enkele ‘actieve’ ventilatiemogelijkheid (raam of afzuiging) waardoor het er erg warm en vochtig was en je dus niet anders kon dan te ventileren naar de rest van het huis. - de banken waren functioneel maar al erg doorgezakt waardoor je er moeilijk rustig kon zitten omdat je snel opzij zakte.
