Great place to stay right next to Loch Ness

Stayed for one night following completion of the NC500. Good to see Loch Ness although we missed Nessie on this occasion! Very easy check in and great facilities right in the centre of town. A few places to grab food nearby. We had a Chinese takeaway.

The property itself was just a room, it was clean etc.Unfortunately the guest house has a next door neighbour that allows their dogs to bark CONSTANTLY throughout our 2 day stay. We were also a bit suprised that the main canal locks were closed down for repairs (one of the only reasons to visit Fort Augustus) but properties were still full price.

The people are super friendly and made our stay so perfect! The room was conveniently located to everything in the village. We had all that we needed. Had we traveled during a warmer season, we would have made use of our balcony more! We'll be back soon!

Self check in was convenient, make sure you have your code ready. I had asked for two beds (for my 6ft teen and I) but it was set up as one bed. It was only by chance that I saw one staff on her way home. She did not look pleased but still, moved the two singles apart and got the proper bedding. Otherwise, clean and convenient. You need to park in a lane, close enough at a couple minutes walk, but you'll want to drop your bags first.

We stayed only long enough to book other accommodation up the road. Be really careful which room you select as we thought we were getting the common set up of two twin beds that could be separated, but it was a double not suitable for two friends travelling together.

A fantastic place to stay if you are walking or cycling the GGW. The room was very comfortable, nicely decorated with stunning views over the River Oich. Dedicated space for boots and wet clothing, drying rail in the bathroom for wet gear and plenty of tea and coffee! There is also a secure bike store (outside, but upstairs on the roof space)
