From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and we'll looked after. The great service at check in continued all through our stay. The food in the restaurant was excellent during both dinner and breakfast. The room itself was comfy, warm, but could do with a bit of freshening up. This didn't affect our stay at all.

Loch Ness Inn has found the balance of maintaining the charm without sacrificing modern amenities. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Our favourite part was having breakfast downstairs in the morning à la carte. And the Internet connection was much stronger than other places we have stayed.
