This small hotel is a real gem! My husband and I had a fairly large room with great views across Loch Ness. In addition there is a nice common room for guests with comfortable chairs and a fireplace, which is a good place for reading and relaxing when not out walking or exploring the area. On top of it all, the restaurant on site is excellent! We will be back!

This was a last minute booking and we're so glad we found it! After a week travelling round Scotland and the NE of England, we'd stayed in a number of hotels and found this one right at the end of our trip - this was lovely - ranked very highly!! It compares more than favourably with far more expensive hotels we had stayed in earlier that week. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly Justin & Jay. The dinner was great, good sized portions as was the traditional Scottish porridge for breakfast. The bedroom was well appointed and very comfortable, with a decent amount of space and good bathroom facilities. If we hadn't been due to head home, we would have definitely booked for another night and if we are ever back that way, we'll book in again!

Good place to stay. It is what I was expecting and the staff were great. I booked an included breakfast which was pretty good. We ate at the restaurant one night and good value and convenient. The property is quaint and not new...but with character and pretty well looked after. it was one of my favourite places to stay on our UK trip. The property could benefit from a few upgrades in terms of some landscaping around the mobile home next to the hotel (whI I think is part of the same proerty) and a canopy at the east end of the hotel to hide the view of the rubbish bins and other unsightly items from windows facing that way. Also, the hotel advertises air conditioning which I didn't see any evidence of in the room, so keep that in mind when considering this property. That said, the highland nights were cool (even during the heatwave that was happneing downs south in England at the time) and opeining the windows was plenty cool.
