10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous boutique hotel that is self served. You were located right in downtown and you can’t get any closer to the lock and dams or any of the sites. I would highly recommend this hotel. Extremely clean and nicely done.

Perfect place to stay to explore Fort Augustus and Loch Ness.

Great place to stay right next to Loch Ness

Stayed for one night following completion of the NC500. Good to see Loch Ness although we missed Nessie on this occasion! Very easy check in and great facilities right in the centre of town. A few places to grab food nearby. We had a Chinese takeaway.
Ben, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property was great and great location. However check in and out time is ridiculous. Can’t check in before 430pm and check out is promptly at 10. There is no staff on premises which isn’t a big deal to me but might be for others. Room was very spacious (Neptune) and comfortable.

Fort Augustus Gem

What an amazing spot! To watch the boats on the loch from our very own room! Comfortable, clean with a great shower!

Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed one night here, passing through to Inverness and then to Skye. The stay was comfortable and clean and very interesting as we got to watch a boat go through the locks. we had a room of 4 bunks, which was perfectly fine. The breakfast at the canal center was good and the area surrounding the town was lovely to explore.
Chad, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A fantastic place to stay if you are walking or cycling the GGW. The room was very comfortable, nicely decorated with stunning views over the River Oich. Dedicated space for boots and wet clothing, drying rail in the bathroom for wet gear and plenty of tea and coffee! There is also a secure bike store (outside, but upstairs on the roof space)
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. Cute and clean room. Big washroom and nice view.
Lisette, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We stayed only long enough to book other accommodation up the road. Be really careful which room you select as we thought we were getting the common set up of two twin beds that could be separated, but it was a double not suitable for two friends travelling together.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean. Nice touch with kettle for tea. Easy access. Would highly recommended!!

8/10 Very good

We stayed one night at Lock Chambers on our way to Inverness. The room was very clean and tidy and check in was straight forward using the code and lockbox. We were able to leave our suitcases in the cafe next door before the check in time which was handy. The room was a little stuffy but there was a fan which helped a bit.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed the clean crisp feel of Caledonian Canal Centre. The setting was special and placing overnight accomodation next to canal lochs made for a unique and fun experience. You guys had a great idea! Thanks for making it happen!

2/10 Poor

Like: Warm, comfortable bed and fluffy pillows… Clean towels and facilities Dislike: Unavailability of staff, unable to secure room
Joe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have been traveling for many years, and I don't think I've ever been as comfortable in a hotel room before. Everything was clean, comfortable, quiet and I felt very safe. Traveling with my family is not easy in Scotland, this was fantastic. We had a full bed and two twin bunks. No cots or rollouts. Local meals were amazing. And the canal was super cool. Highly recommended.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very thin walls, very noisy within the house !!!
Ursula, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately because all the emails did not come through in the order they instructed, and not having a phone allowing me to dial the “emergency” number on the door, we were unable to enter our room and had to find accommodations elsewhere. Since we’ve been traveling for a month, I was unable to print off emails to keep in my folder of reservations and found the email with the room code dated two weeks earlier instead of two days after the email telling me to expect in two days. Shame because area was gorgeous with all kinds of places to eat.
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent quality and location.

We stayed in ‘Neptune’. The room was a good size and was extremely well appointed with modern furnishings, t.v. And free WiFi. Big, comfortable bed, good shower and nice toiletries. There was a lovely view of the river and bridge and we woke to the sound of quacking ducks each morning - delightful. Follow the instructions for parking in the road opposite - free of charge, we left our car there for three nights without any issues. We used the café below for breakfast, they did excellent coffee and a small range of breakfast items.
