Delicious breakfast and dinner. Staff excellent both breakfast and dinner.
We had a great welcome. Very happy with our room. Comfortable and quiet. Not a lot of dining options so reservations are recommended unless you want some yummy pizza. It’s close by and was so tasty!
Breakfast at the Inn was excellent. Many great options.
We’re loved that the inn was only a 5 minute drive from the Urquhart Castle.
The Loch Ness Inn was a lovely and cozy place to stay while we were in the Highlands. The restaurant is world class! The food there is absolutely delicious!
The location was great for exploring the local environment: the Loch Ness Centre, the castle ruins, and hiking trails to waterfalls and Craig are all within walking distance.
Very nice hotel, great location to Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Hotel Restaurant was excellent too. Nice convenient location, clean, great expedient customer service. Would stay at this hotel again in the future.
The Loch Ness inn was really amazing for our short stay in Drumnadochit! The free breakfast was probably the best we’ve ever had at any stay and the rooms were cute and comfortable! Would also like to give a big thanks to Oscar, who carried my friends luggage up the stairs and made sure that we were comfortable with our accommodation and overall just went above and beyond!
Our short stay was magic! The staff were lovely, the location was perfect and the room its self was so cosy! It had exactly what we needed. We will definitely book again if we visit the area. We had a dinner and a breakfast at the property and both were superb.
This hotel had lots of charm and was a convenient stop for our stay in Inverness. The food in the restaurant was delicious and artfully presented, and the pub was a great place for a nightcap. The room was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property for future travelers.
One night stay. Excellent breakfast. Room is small relative to pics. NO ELEVATOR if carrying heavy luggage. Is a bit outside town so car a must. Can’t walk to restaurants(5 minutes drive).
Close to main road without traffic noises. Wonderful staff and food. Bar at back of dinning room was well stocked with every scotch you could imagine. Lots of help choosing from the also very friendly locals.
Beautifully located Inn. Bedroom was comfortable, clean and quiet. Lovely comfy bed and bathroom with rainfall shower. The restaurant onsite is superb. Freshly cooked local products. Extensive wine list with a range of spirit options, including local spirits.
