Great location overlooking the bottom of the canal locks. Rooms okay and well equipped, including a small fridge. Check in not great. Supposed to be from 4.30pm but at 5pm, door still said "no check in, still preparing rooms", where it remained for several more hours. Eventually we ignored the sign, let ourselves in and all was set up - no cleaners anywhere. Disappointing start.

It's the center of this small town, great location. Newly remodeled, fabulous large tub that fills in seconds. Could use a new mattress and I was glad I used a sound machine app...when I turned it off in the morning I could hear neighbors talking through the wall quite easily. I enjoyed my stay!

Lock Chambers Caledonian Hotel in Ft. Augustus

Beautiful little hotel right on the Locks. If you are a people watcher this hotel is for you. It is so fun watching the boats go up and down the five locks into or out of Loch Ness. Everything is walkable.

Perfect location! Not all rooms have access to the advertised terrasse, perhaps that could be made a bit more clear. I assumed it is a shared facility when I booked this place.

Our room Loch Oich overlooked the swing bridge and 1st loch. Ideal for Loch watching. Beds comfy, ideally would have liked the extra put up bed taken down and replaced with a chair but understand that is probably a bit awkward especially as we were a short stay. Bathroom great, modern. Ample tea, coffee sachets, milk, sugar etc. Fridge. Nice decor. Everything worked. If we were staying in the area would stay here again. If cycling there is secure bike storage up the stairs, in an outside patio area.

Beautiful room! We stayed in the Loch Ness room which had a private balcony overlooking the village. Huge windows in the room as well. The chap who came to bring us more towels was kind and friendly. (It was his first day.) We stayed here after arriving in Inverness en route to Ft. William. The only downsides: Not a lot of places open for dinner. Had to eat twice at the Chinese restaurant. (Granted, it was delicious!). I wish there was an iron and ironing board.

The stay was terrific. We had a great time watching the loch in action from our room. Modern furnishings and great service. They have everything set up so well. It was a favourite stay on our highland travels.

Loved this property! Check in is unique but there are very clear instructions and free parking just down the street. The restaurant is great and we sat out by the water outside. Great smoked salmon and egg breakfast. Also ate at the Old Boathouse down by the water which was great! Fort Augustus is a cute little town with little shops and restaurants. Saw the locks in action the morning that we left as well which was very cool to witness! Would stay here again for sure.

Unfortunately because all the emails did not come through in the order they instructed, and not having a phone allowing me to dial the “emergency” number on the door, we were unable to enter our room and had to find accommodations elsewhere. Since we’ve been traveling for a month, I was unable to print off emails to keep in my folder of reservations and found the email with the room code dated two weeks earlier instead of two days after the email telling me to expect in two days. Shame because area was gorgeous with all kinds of places to eat.
