About this property

Old School apartment

Old School 14 sits on the second floor of St Benedict’s Abbey in Fort August and offers stunning views across the Abbey grounds and the hills beyond.
It is one of a few 3 bedroom apartments and can sleep up to 6 guests – in addition, the large mezzanine double bedroom has a bed suitable for a small child.

The original rose window, structural pillars, tasteful furniture and modern appliances make this apartment the perfect blend of tradition and style. Furthermore, the dining area, kitchen and living area are open plan and give a spacious yet cosy feel. Consequently, a great place to while away the evenings with family or friends.

PLEASE NOTE that you are welcome to use all available facilities however they are not a condition of the booking and may be closed at short notice.

Check-in is from 4pm - 8.30pm

Great place to stay
Overall, we truly enjoyed this property. Of the 4 we stayed in during our visit to Scotland, this was our favorite. The apartment is located in an impressive building on the grounds of the abbey. It is just wonderful! We ran a little late for check-in and they were very accommodating. It is located within a 2-3 minute walk to restaurants and a gas station where you can get lots of stuff you might need. Several stores were still closed because it was early season for them (4/29-5/1). The apartment was very comfortable overall. We loved the large kitchen table for playing games. However, we do not feel that the bed in the en-suite room is truly a king size as we have that at home, and this bed was much smaller. It also very much dipped in the middle, forming a "v" and should probably be replaced. We feel it should also be noted that the third bedroom is not enclosed fully; it is more like a loft in US descriptions. The shower was wonderful and we were able to do some laundry. We had a couple minor issues (like not knowing how to use a combined washer/dryer in Scotland) and someone was there to help within minutes. The pool was very enjoyable and we even checked out the Snooker room. We would recommend this place for sure. Lots of cute gift stores, good food and the best is The Boat House restaurant located right on the grounds. It was a great experience! We would stay again!

I wanted to love it more!
First let me start by saying the flat itself is such a unique experience. I loved the building, every detail of the architecture, the grounds, and the proximity to the Loch. It’s even close enough to town that you can cut through a path and get there in just a couple minutes. Then the issues. Honestly it wasn't very clean. There was quite a bit of dust which normally I would overlook but the flat smelled like fried grease. We tried opening the windows to air it out but just couldn’t get the smell out. Then the washer/dryer didn’t work. This was a big trip for us so having washing facilities was extremely important. The host did respond quickly and had someone out to look but the issue couldn’t be resolved. The staff were kind enough to allow me to use the facility washer and dryer but everything came out of the wash with a “musky” odor. When I arrived to Loch Lomond I had to hunt down laundry service and pay around £20 to have everything rewashed. We also couldn’t use the pool, sauna, or steam room. When we booked we were under the impression you could book after 5pm but when we got close to our check in we were told that they couldn’t guarantee a pool reservation after 5 and if they could it would cost £50. I don’t understand this as a lifeguard is not present. I guess in the end if these are things that wouldn’t bother you then go for it. The building is truly amazing but I work very hard for the money I have so the cost of this flat wasn’t worth it.

Beautiful Property, Great for Family
The apartment was spacious for my family of 5 and the grounds were unbelievably beautiful and the town was charming. Loved walking along the water with my kids and playing chess in the inner courtyard.
