The lochness gatehouse was fine for a stop over on our way to Isle of Skye. The check in process could be improved. We had to call the owner, Martin when we arrived, but do not have access to calling as we’re from North America. He is not on WhatsApp to text either. There isn’t a ton of dinner options around, just be aware! Walls in the room could use a good wipe down and the pillows were quite hard. There was quite a bit of noise from the surrounding rooms, talking and TV’s. Fine enough for a stop over, wouldn’t book for a multiple night stay! In

There was literally No human interaction Face 2 Face innentire stay but to be fair.. it worked qnd worked well.. Its a smallest town possible..and area has just countable stores..food options and bars.. but to be fair again...enough for q pleasant and comfortable stay. Just loved the way boat movements through 5 stages to ocean and back is mqnaged ..simply an engineering matvel powered by common sense... . People and surrounding is worth soending atleast an evening here.

We had two rooms. One was great overlooking the canal, unfortunately the other was less so with very limited headroom, overlooking the car park, yet we paid the same amount for both rooms.

Great little Stay

I booked 48 hours before and I was concerned how I would gain entry. It went smoothly when we asked the local pub what we were to do. We loved our stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was immaculate. We would reccommend the place.

Really enjoyed our stay. Martin was very responsive and made things easy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the property well maintained. If I were to suggest anything to make the stay better in the future, it would be thicker, more substantial pillows.

Pro: location Con: everything else

Initial communication was poor. Room size was not feasible for 2 people and 2 suitcases. I had to rearrange most of the furniture to be able to open both cases. The peaked roof was a danger in the dark with such small space to walk in. Everything was loud (the doors, floors, fans, street noise, other guests). We could hear snoring from other rooms, every door that opened slammed or croaked, even the elctric kettles were audible from other rooms. The temperature was hard to manage. We could get open but not close them again. We never could get the heater or towel warmer to work. I had to ask for help with the windows and learned the complicated combination of keys, handles, buttons and pressure to be able to operate them. Then I asked for help with the heater and the staff, who doesn’t service the room, pressed a million buttons and then said "maybe it will come on". We had a 4 night stay but the room was only equipped with 1 day of in room supplies. When I asked for more I was told I could get it from the noisy cafe below, which had limited hours, and when I finally found someone by knocking on the staff doors they couldn't find the supplies. We left a day early due to the misery and asked for a one day refund and were refused. They cited their no refund policy, which to be fair, exists. The town is sleepy in winter but was still a good location for a base camp for day trips. Still I wouldnt stay here again.

The stay was okay, but felt overpriced compared to other placed I had been to in the same trip. Note that this is just a building with key boxes, you call a number and they give you the code, there's no staff on site. The one complaint was that the room was very cold, I had to turn on the heater, which was situated next to one of the beds, so had to move the bed for the heat to spread. It took a while for the room to heat up. The bathroom had a large towel heater that was also off, i tried to turn it on but it kept shutting off.
