8/10 Good

Nice little hotel not far away from the lake.
Martin, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very quaint and charming hotel. Large and rustic rooms, but the walls are extremely thin. We had a family with young children staying above us, and the kids running around prevented us from sleeping.
Jordana, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Highly recommend!
Iain, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quaint older hotel with adequate amenities.(full bar and restaurant). Food and service were great. Could use some black out curtains and the mattresses could use an update. .
Joel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Caisie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good location and comfortable hotel.

Located just outside Fort Augustus the hotel was easy to find and comfortable. The room was large and had views of the Loch which was lovely to wake up to. The breakfast was high quality and delicious. The hotels location makes it easy to access many of the attraction in the area.

Was very friendly. Wish that the highland cows were near the property like in the posting.
Shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel, though small, holds a rustic grandeur that encourages a long happy stay. Though my own stay was short (only 2 nights), I was able to explore the lucious ground and glenway trail that is connected to the hotel. As well as the friendly and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant were superb. Accommodations were alightly dated but held a rustic charm.

Great hotel.
Tyler, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We were disappointed that the Highland Cows had been moved and were not there. The views were lovely and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We had to drive to the town for dinner, but it wasn't too far and it was a nice little town with many dining choices. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Breakfast was delicious and very nice. There were nice rooms for visiting with other guests.
View from our room.
room had a nice seating area.
