This small hotel is a real gem! My husband and I had a fairly large room with great views across Loch Ness. In addition there is a nice common room for guests with comfortable chairs and a fireplace, which is a good place for reading and relaxing when not out walking or exploring the area. On top of it all, the restaurant on site is excellent! We will be back!
