Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers an awesome view of Loch Ness and excellent breakfast, but needs some maintenance in the rooms and en-suite. The location looking over Loch Ness is very cosy with clean white crisp tablecloths.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms, despite being the only ones in the dining room, were beautiful and comfortable. It's a shame it wasn't an option in the evening, but maybe it was because we were there out of season. The room was spotlessly clean and warm.
The hotel has spacious and well-furnished rooms that are clean and comfortable, though some decor elements may feel outdated. The service is friendly, with nice touches like welcome drinks and pet amenities. The location offers beautiful surroundings close to Loch Ness and Foyers waterflow, despite some aspects needing upgrades and higher pricing. Dining is described as very tasty and generous, with previous hotel experiences pale in comparison. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
