10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean and spacious and had a lovely view of Loch Ness. The bathroom was nicely updated. The staff was very friendly and helpful with our luggage. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious. The restaurant also has a wonderful view of Loch Ness.

Loch Ness Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Loch Ness Country Hotel was lovely. Our room was quite large, with beautiful views of the gorgeous hotel grounds. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a nice restaurant at the hotel, which is helpful as the hotel is about four miles from the city of Inverness. The only "downside" to staying here is that distance, as you cannot walk out the door and explore the city, but if you want a lovely, relaxing place to stay, you cannot do better!"
