Each room is named after a Scottish Loch. The carpets are tartan colours. The food is amazing. The friendly staff are courteous and helpful. The hotel exudes charm. Loch Ness is visible from many rooms and is within walking distance. The sunrises over Loch Ness were glorious. I’d love to stay there again. A lucky find for us!

Dated property but had a bit of charm. Could use a freshening up (paint, carpeting) but good location and nice break. Was surprised that there was no lift…would have been problematic for someone with mobility limitations but nice stay overall

Overall, this is probably my favorite hotel I have ever been to. Staff was top notch, breakfast was incredible, room was very comfortable and clean. Easy walk to village center. Please note: The Highland cows that are pictured aren’t currently there (as of 18 July, 2024) due to a fence issue. The hotel is incredible nonetheless!

The GM, Dhiraj Smetty, works tirelessly to make sure all is perfect from check-in to dinning. He went above and beyond to address a billing issue, not of his making, and resolved it with total professionalism and concern for our needs.

Comfortable property in a suberb location. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The building itself could use some updating but overall, a great spot for exploring the Highlands!

Beautiful country house overlooking Loch Ness. Ample car parking space. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and well kept. There was a variety of options for breakfast which were made to order and you could adjust according to your preference. Only snag was that we were on the top floor so had a skylight window with no blinds and in June there was constant light so some sort of blinds would have made the stay perfect - my advice, take an sleep mask with you

My husband I stayed here overnight. It was a nice quiet stay with a pretty view of the loch. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel has charm, but could use a few updates particularly in regard to the bathroom. We also weren’t able to successfully lock our door when we left the room. The restaurant was tasty, but on the pricey side. There aren’t any other options nearby.

Beautiful and stately facility. The staff were accommodating and our room was spacious and comfortable. Our only complaint was the desk had no chair, and the one that was brought up didn't fit. But otherwise we enjoyed our stay. The included breakfast had lots of options and was served in a lovely room with pretty views.

This property is gorgeous and overlooks Loch Ness! Our room was spacious and overlooked the loch as well. Felt like we were staying in a piece of history (in a good way). Highly recommend!
