While staying in Fort Augustus at The Highland Club, Dann and I were right on the Loch Ness. If you somehow were unfamiliarly with Loch Ness specifically, it’s rumored to have a monster living in the lake, which has always been a really interesting myth. Hoping to learn more about Loch Ness and to see some beautiful views of the lake itself, we booked up the Loch Ness Cruise, which boarded right outside our accomidation.

While staying in Loch Ness with Abbey Holidays, we weren’t very interested in cooking our on food! The Bothy Bar and Restaurant is one we often passed going from Loch Ness to our accommodation. They offer a traditional Scottish menu and feel a lot like a community bar and restaurant, with tons of families inside. The place was absolutely packed when we arrived, so I didn’t get any pictures of the inside in the end, but people eating were sat in a conservatory on the side of the main building, which had a large bar. All of the specials were written on a giant chalk board next to the serving area for the staff. We were seated quite quickly, as they don’t take reservations, and went straight into looking at the menu.

On our quest to pet Highland Cows while staying at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus, we heard about Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop. There wasn’t much to go off of for the venue, but with the idea of seeing cows in mind, we headed there. Cameron’s Tearoom & Farm Shop is on the smaller, cozy side when it comes to seating. There is a fireplace roaring in the middle, it feels like sitting in someone’s living room, and there are a bunch of different sports jerseys hanging on the wall. When we arrived, it was during the switch between the breakfast menu and lunch menu, where the tearoom doesn’t serve food for half an hour. I didn’t realize this was a thing, but they let us come in and check out the menu while we waited.

While staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, they recommended we eat at The Boathouse Restaurant, which is within view of the apartments that they rent. This little ma-and-pa style restaurant is one that has beautiful, stunning views of Loch Ness. The views themselves are enough to bring anyone to the area, but the food is also something we wanted to try and see if it lived up to the breathtaking views. The menu itself has a mix of Scottish food and Turkish food, as the owner is Turkish. I went for the Turkish options myself!

[Ad- gifted experience] We are always looking to explore new places and a weekend away always feels like such a good time to reset. Dann and I actually went with Abbey Holidays Loch Ness, who put us up in The Highland Club in one of their apartments for three nights in the middle of the week, doing a sort of working from somewhere else trip. The Highland Club is right in Loch Ness, which neither of us had ever explored previously, so we were excited to be going to a new area!
Loch Ness is very touristy, it’s a place that feels ideal for a slow-paced holiday. The Highland Club is a short walk from Loch Ness, right at the top of the town. It’s easy to walk to restaurants, take an explore around Loch Ness, and even take a cruise through the middle. We spent a lot of our time relaxing on this holiday, which was just what we needed! This place is ideal for families as well as individuals just looking to get away and connect in nature. As we went in Autumn, all of the mountains and leaves were absolutely beautiful – it was like something out of a fairy tale.
