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.

It is a lovely 3 star hotel in a quiet spot on Lochness. As long as you have a car it is a great base to explore the surrounding area. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Sue

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was dirty and very dusty. Wall paper peeling off the walls. One medium size mirror on opposite side of room. Dinner was over priced and tasteless. Breakfast was undercooked food and raw eggs. Felt like one person doing check-in, managing bar, serving food and possibly cooking it too. Car park very confusing, need better signs. The whole hotel needs a spruce up. Very disappointed for the money spend on the stay here as felt it was the worst of all the places we stayed whilst on holiday yet the most expensive both for food and accommodation.

The GM, Dhiraj Smetty, works tirelessly to make sure all is perfect from check-in to dinning. He went above and beyond to address a billing issue, not of his making, and resolved it with total professionalism and concern for our needs.

This place needs a renovation and is way overpriced, Room was tidy but carpet needs cleaning, Bathroom was way to plastic for my taste and didn’t matched the design of the room. There’s a weird smokey smell in the whole hotel. Would not stay here again

My husband I stayed here overnight. It was a nice quiet stay with a pretty view of the loch. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel has charm, but could use a few updates particularly in regard to the bathroom. We also weren’t able to successfully lock our door when we left the room. The restaurant was tasty, but on the pricey side. There aren’t any other options nearby.

Mixed Bag, not pet friendly

Found the staff excellent , food very pricey and although it says :pet Friendly: in reality it is not, clean rooms and public areas , its location is a plus but I feel that it is overpriced and to charge for a dog that can only be kept in the room is frankly scandelous.

Not as Advertised

The hotel was not at all as advertised. The internet and television did not work. The teapot in the room was full of mold. The heater didnt work in the room. The window didnt close all the way. The staff worked very hard to deal with all these issues, but they said these issues had been going on for a long time. It is a bed and breakfast so breakfast is meant to be included with the price. However, we were charged at check out for 2 breakfasts. The breakfast was inedible, it tasted like there was half a bottle of salt in the eggs. 15 pounds per breakfast for something you could not eat. There are also no cows to be found anywhere near the property
