Very small rooms and bed. Our room was above the dining m and was very noisy until it closed at 10:00. Every time the kitchen door was opened to the dining room, it banged shut and you could hear it in the room. Location was good

Nice hotel
Check in was a beeeze, which is located in their restaurant. The hotel messaged us about reservations so we did them thankfully because the restaurant was pretty full.
The room was perfect. Beds were ok, we find most of the beds in Europe are thin. We didn’t locate a lift to bring our luggage up so we had to carry it.
Restaurant food was good. We had breakfast as part of our stay which was very good. No complaints.

We stayed one night whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The room we had was ideal. Very clean, quiet and everything worked well. Tunnocks caramel wafers were a nice touch. We also ate dinner end breakfast and the food quality was very high. We were especially impressed by the quality of all of the waiting and bar staff.

Great dinner. Comfortable. No wifi in room.
Room was clean and comfortable. Food was great for dinner. The staff were really pleasant. A bit limited for breakfast. Constantly had to ask for milk for the cereals in a morning. They bring out a small jug for the whole restaurant. We never got wifi in the bedroom. They just said it was BT’s fault although it worked elsewhere in the hotel. Don’t think we will be returning.

Beautifully updated but oozing with old world charm in a quaint Scottish village. So close to Loch Ness! The staff was lovely and so helpful. The breakfast options were excellent and the dinner at the inn was fabulous! Would love to stay there again and highly recommend the Lock ness Inn!

Best inn and restaurant on our tour of Scotland
Excellent stay at The Loch Ness Inn. We were staying at 8 different locations during our tour of Scotland and this inn stood out as by far the best for accommodation and food.
It was welcome to see that all the small details were looked after, enabling the room to be very well presented.
All three courses of the evening meal were delicious and who knew porridge could taste that good for breakfast!

We enjoyed our quick stay and appreciate the included breakfast.
The room was small and walls are thin but overall it is a good rest spot from our way back from Skye.
Inverness downtown is half an hour drive from the hotel. All the staff members we spoke to were all very polite and courteous.
Overall I would recommend this hotel for a quick stay as there is not a lot to do in the area.
