Romantic Breaks for Two: Autumn Escapes in Fort Augustus

When the Highlands are brushed with amber light and the air carries the scent of woodsmoke and moss, autumn in Fort Augustus becomes the perfect backdrop for romance. At Highland Club Direct, we welcome couples to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy a Highland break tailored for two.

Special Offers This Autumn

Looking to treat a loved one to a seasonal escape? We have exclusive autumn offers on our luxury self-catering apartments at The Highland Club. Whether you're planning a surprise getaway, celebrating an anniversary, or simply escaping the everyday—this is the season to do it.

Get in touch directly to learn more about our autumn couple's packages, available for a limited time only.

Birdwatching Bliss: Autumn Twitching by Loch Ness

As the leaves fall and the lochs grow quiet, the Highlands become a haven for birdwatchers. From our base in Fort Augustus, twitchers can spot migratory geese, whooper swans, and elusive birds of prey as they pass through the region. The stillness of the season makes it easier to hear wings overhead and tune in to the rhythms of nature.

Pack your binoculars, step outside your apartment, and let the Highland landscape do the rest.

Wander Through Autumn: Walks from Your Doorstep

There’s no need to travel far to find beauty. From our doorstep at St Benedict’s Abbey, couples can enjoy peaceful lochside ambles, woodland strolls under golden canopies, and invigorating hikes along the Great Glen Way. Wrap up warm, take your time, and soak in the season together.

Afterwards, return to your apartment, warm up by the fire, or enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the cloisters.

Dining for Two: A Taste of the Highlands

Autumn is a glorious season for dining in the Highlands, when seasonal game, earthy root vegetables, and rich puddings take pride of place on local menus. Fort Augustus and the surrounding area offer several romantic dining spots perfect for couples. Enjoy a relaxed evening at The Bothy, known for its cosy atmosphere and hearty Scottish fare, or savour elevated dining at Station Road Restaurant in Spean Bridge, where the tasting menu showcases the finest Highland ingredients. For something truly special, head to The Lovat Brasserie, offering refined dishes in a serene setting with Loch Ness views. If you’re after something more rustic, The Lock Inn by the canal is a charming spot for classic comfort food and local ales.

Need more personalised suggestions? Just get in touch—we’re happy to help you plan the perfect evening out.
