Excellent

We never received the code for the lock box to get our key, so had to pay to book somewhere else last minute. Even 1 hour before arrival we had not received it (this was in the evening and no one was available to speak with, not in person or on the phone after many attempts at calling). Hotel.com ultimately refunded as. Disappointing to say the least!
Property’s manager was excellent Expedia booked double bed and we clearly asked for a twin Manager was able to change rooms Boat weir was incredible to watch in action Boat cruise well worth it Due to the weather being on our side Definitely would stay there again

The lochness gatehouse was fine for a stop over on our way to Isle of Skye. The check in process could be improved. We had to call the owner, Martin when we arrived, but do not have access to calling as we’re from North America. He is not on WhatsApp to text either. There isn’t a ton of dinner options around, just be aware! Walls in the room could use a good wipe down and the pillows were quite hard. There was quite a bit of noise from the surrounding rooms, talking and TV’s. Fine enough for a stop over, wouldn’t book for a multiple night stay! In
There was literally No human interaction Face 2 Face innentire stay but to be fair.. it worked qnd worked well..
Its a smallest town possible..and area has just countable stores..food options and bars.. but to be fair again...enough for q pleasant and comfortable stay.
Just loved the way boat movements through 5 stages to ocean and back is mqnaged ..simply an engineering matvel powered by common sense...
.
People and surrounding is worth soending atleast an evening here.
Above all expectations. Views wonderful, room well appointed, clean, fresh and comfortable.
Perfect for a short stay, if you’re there exploring what the area has to offer.
We had two rooms. One was great overlooking the canal, unfortunately the other was less so with very limited headroom, overlooking the car park, yet we paid the same amount for both rooms.
I booked 48 hours before and I was concerned how I would gain entry.
It went smoothly when we asked the local pub what we were to do.
We loved our stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was immaculate.
We would reccommend the place.
Really enjoyed our stay. Martin was very responsive and made things easy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the property well maintained.
If I were to suggest anything to make the stay better in the future, it would be thicker, more substantial pillows.
Lovely clean , well appointed room. Looked like had been recently decorated/ created as everything brand new. Ideally situated in heart of Fort Augustus - right in the canal side- parking to rear if property - well laid out - spot on
