Loved this cozy inn

Little gem in the north

Last minute booking and what an AMAZING little gem! Clean, comfortable, spacious rooms with a great little pub. I definitely recommend having the breakfast here too! 2min drive from Urquhart Castle.
Marzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed two nights while walking the Great Glen Way. We loved our room and bathroom, very comfortable, and the fact that we could open the window. Very quiet. Great food for breakfast and dinner. Walking distance to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. Would very happily return again.

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.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here! We had a family quad (7/8) with 2 bedrooms and a lovely bathroom. The beds were cozy and we slept very well. The shower was FANTASTIC! The dinner menu is good and our meals were delicious. The staff are terrific - they are warm and welcoming and really helped us when we left an expensive electronic device behind and needed help have it shipped to our next hotel. Looking for Nessie? This is the place to stay!
Gera Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Loch Ness inn was really amazing for our short stay in Drumnadochit! The free breakfast was probably the best we’ve ever had at any stay and the rooms were cute and comfortable! Would also like to give a big thanks to Oscar, who carried my friends luggage up the stairs and made sure that we were comfortable with our accommodation and overall just went above and beyond!
Gabrielle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our short stay was magic! The staff were lovely, the location was perfect and the room its self was so cosy! It had exactly what we needed. We will definitely book again if we visit the area. We had a dinner and a breakfast at the property and both were superb.
View from our dinner table!
