Oh My Gosh! This is one of my top top top spot to stay among all places I visited over the world! The Abbey was right next to loch Ness (rooms with Ness view) and everything of it was beautiful! We stayed in the boys dormitory which is on the top floor. It was spacy and comfy with the stunning window with lake view! I will come back again!

Wow, wow, wow!! This apartment is not only set in the most wonderful location, but is top class, with its presentation, amenities and relaxation. Our third year of going and it will not be our last! Everything is really easy from the point of booking, information sent, checking in and out! As for the building and surroundings, they are out of this world!! Can’t recommend highly enough The Boy’s Dormitory in the beautiful Highlands. We travel a lot and always like to pay a good price for a great break away from it all, this will NOT disappoint.......!!!!!
