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.

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.

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.

Nice apartment, very close to everything with lovely walks along the canal and lots of extras in the apartment like games and videos a great home from home in a fabulous setting. There is no reception to check in, so if you msg beforehand hand someone will find you in the car park to get you sorted.

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.

Lovely weekend getaway
We had a lovely two nights having seen the place we wish we could have stayed longer. There were just a couple of this that could have made the stay even better. Unfortunately, the bottle opener was broken which was a bit frustrating. Other than that the flat was clean and well appointed. We were also given the wrong details to book the pool but managed to get that sorted out. We were very happy and would love to go again.

Highland club
The highland club is in a lovely location and the apartment very well equipped, very clean and lovely and quiet. As mentioned by others, the set up is a little strange & would not be ideal for everyone (the bathroom & only toilet is on the ground floor near the kitchen, and the bedrooms up steep stairs). Main drawback for us was the length of the single beds - you can’t fit in the bedframe if taller than about 5ft10 - so no good for our teenagers. Lovely how we had direct access outside unlike most properties at the club (albeit onto the carpark area not the loch sadly!), and a couple of chairs to take outside would be a nice addition. We had a lovely week all in all, just a few things to be aware of.
