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.
