Great location in Fort Augustus. Right on Loch Ness. Lovely restaurants in the area.
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beds were incredibly comfortable — I haven’t slept that well in a long time. The self check-in process was really well organized, easy, and convenient. The hotel is perfectly located, with everything within walking distance. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and super cozy — it feels like home right away. I highly recommend it!
Tom, 1-night trip

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.

The stay was terrific. We had a great time watching the loch in action from our room. Modern furnishings and great service. They have everything set up so well. It was a favourite stay on our highland travels.
Tracy, 1-night trip

Nice, cosy space with a big bathtub in the room. Brilliant location next to canal and breakfast facilities., pubs and cafes. Walk to Loch Ness takes about 5 minutes, Friendly stuff.

Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I could not imagine staying anywhere else as location was perfect. Although there was two of us we reserved the family room that had a bunk bed in there as well. Also a benefit was the balcony that you could go out or leave open for the fresh crisp air. We had the top corner room overlooking the canal and if you can reserve this one as you had canal view as well as out to the Loch Lthough not a full view. Petrol station around the corner was also a supermarket and pharmacy and alcohol could be purchased. Plenty of places so close to eat but do try the Morehouse past the boat tours as the view was amazing

The property is located conveniently close to the Lochness cruise and the locks. The room was clean and spacious.
Athrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location! Not all rooms have access to the advertised terrasse, perhaps that could be made a bit more clear. I assumed it is a shared facility when I booked this place.
Kerstin, 1-night trip

Property was really good, clean, well located and quiet! Perfect for the stay.

Great hotel in the center of town. Easy to reach many tourists sites in Lock Ness.

Awesome location
Sundeepan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We could watch the lock operating from our window. Very central. Room was large. Downside was quite late check-in - 4:30pm was what was on the email, though we got in just before 4pm. Parking is difficult - we found free space further down the street the accommodation was in, but you can't park outside, and if there is nothing close you have to pay in the big carpark and then trundle your luggage through town (not so great in the rain).

Great Place, great value

Great place. Friendly staff and perfect location in the centre of town.
Phillip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this property! Check in is unique but there are very clear instructions and free parking just down the street. The restaurant is great and we sat out by the water outside. Great smoked salmon and egg breakfast. Also ate at the Old Boathouse down by the water which was great! Fort Augustus is a cute little town with little shops and restaurants. Saw the locks in action the morning that we left as well which was very cool to witness! Would stay here again for sure.
Caleb, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, clean and convenient. The room was modern and seemed new. The host gave excellent instructions about getting in the room since there are not staff on site. I would definitely recommend.

Great Stay! With very clear instructions how to get in etc. great location, very nice and tidy….. would recommend
P, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location overlooking the bottom of the canal locks. Rooms okay and well equipped, including a small fridge. Check in not great. Supposed to be from 4.30pm but at 5pm, door still said "no check in, still preparing rooms", where it remained for several more hours. Eventually we ignored the sign, let ourselves in and all was set up - no cleaners anywhere. Disappointing start.
