Very nice accommodations with lots of benefits and features. The view of the lake is very serene and peaceful. ##### Daniel E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie S. 16 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay! We had an amazing time at Kinloch Lodge. If you can imagine yourself relaxing by a Scottish loch, with plenty of space to relax and roam, outdoor facilities a-plenty, then you’d be on the right track to imagining yourself at Kinloch. Hot tub, access to a loch for wild swimming, great kitchen and decent beds. Location-wise completely ideal. A stones throw from Loch Ness and Drumnadrochit, but off the beaten track. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape, and we will be back as soon as we can. ##### Sophie S.
