This was a lovely place to stay near Loch Ness, with a view of the loch from our room. Service was very good, with attentive and kind staff. Food offerings were varied, and what we ate was wonderful. It seemed like the bathroom had been updated fairly recently, but the room could have used some new paint and carpet. Overall a great little place to stay

This hotel, though small, holds a rustic grandeur that encourages a long happy stay. Though my own stay was short (only 2 nights), I was able to explore the lucious ground and glenway trail that is connected to the hotel. As well as the friendly and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant were superb. Accommodations were alightly dated but held a rustic charm.

We were disappointed that the Highland Cows had been moved and were not there. The views were lovely and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We had to drive to the town for dinner, but it wasn't too far and it was a nice little town with many dining choices. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Breakfast was delicious and very nice. There were nice rooms for visiting with other guests.
View from our room.
room had a nice seating area.

Good location and comfortable hotel.

Located just outside Fort Augustus the hotel was easy to find and comfortable. The room was large and had views of the Loch which was lovely to wake up to. The breakfast was high quality and delicious. The hotels location makes it easy to access many of the attraction in the area.

A beautiful stay right by Loch Ness

We absolutely loved our stay at the Inch Hotel. It's in such a great spot - our day was spent visiting Culloden and Loch Ness with the intention of driving onwards towards Fort William. The Inch Hotel was in a perfect spot for a one night stop during this drive/trip. We loved that we could see Loch Ness from our rooms. The rooms were comfortable and decorated nicely. We loved the all-around coziness of the hotel. The carpet, decorations, and general look was exactly what we wanted in a small hotel. Our favorite part was the communal den - it had games, bookshelves, a wonderful fire place, and a gorgeous big window that overlooked the Loch. Also, we can't speak highly enough about the staff. They were kind and accommodating. I was very impressed! Finally, we had dinner and then breakfast there, and both meals were delicious. We had wanted to walk into town for dinner, but sadly arrived far too late in the evening to make it possible! But the next morning we did the walk into town, and it was an easy walk! I'd highly recommend staying here!

Great location

We had a one night stay on our way back home from completing the NC500. We were made very welcome, including our dog. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and only a few minutes walk from the little town of Fort Augustus. Hotel was lovely, however looking a little tired. This hotel advertises that it has a malt selection of 60 varieties, we found this appeared to be much reduced.

I was pleasantly surprised on arrival at The Inch Hotel. The manager who checked us in was really friendly and helpful, he gave us lots of information on the local area and recommended places for us to visit and the best way to get there. Our room was possibly in the furthest part of the hotel and i couldn't get any wifi there but the size of the room, the bed and the overall cozyness made up for it. The en suite bathroom was a bit of a hazard, the light switch hit you in the face if you forgot it catches on the door and don't move quick enough, the shower was over the bath and without a none slip bath mat both me and my partner had a close calling getting out of the shower and both nearly slipped. We ate both breakfast and an evening meal here and both were excellent. All the staff were super friendly and helpfull. The bar area was cozy and there is a seprate room to relax in with comfy chairs and great views. There are loads of excellent prints/photos all around the hotel of wildlife and scenery, i would of bought some if they were for sale. I enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.
