What guests think

At Loch Ness Inn, travelers highlight warm, attentive service, spotlessly maintained, comfortable rooms that feel modern yet cozy, and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a reliable base for exploring nearby Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle.

Breakfasts and dinners receive frequent praise, and several guests recommend booking a table as the restaurant and bar can be popular. Rooms are generally quiet and comfortable, though several guests found them small, and a few reported occasional noise, no elevator access, or minor issues like weak in-room Wi-Fi. The setting is convenient for local sights, though a couple of reviewers felt a car helps for reaching other dining or town areas. Expect a friendly, food-forward stay well placed for Loch Ness.

This was a very lovely little inn that has had some lovely modernisation. The new bar at the rear was great. Lots of choices of drinks at very reasonable prices. The restaurant area where we had our breakfast was also very clean and modern but still retained some character and charm off an old inn. Our bedroom which was situated upstairs in the inn was very nice, clean, modern with a good size bathroom and a lovely rainfall shower. Tea and coffee facilities provided which is always a nice touch. Our only negative was that we arrived thinking we would eat lunch before checking in but the whole place is closed until check in time which is 3pm at which time the bar opens and you can check in but the restaurant doesn’t open until 5pm so we had to drive back into the little town to have lunch. We did stay in April so this may change in the summer season. All in all a very nice place to stay.

Check in was a beeeze, which is located in their restaurant. The hotel messaged us about reservations so we did them thankfully because the restaurant was pretty full. The room was perfect. Beds were ok, we find most of the beds in Europe are thin. We didn’t locate a lift to bring our luggage up so we had to carry it. Restaurant food was good. We had breakfast as part of our stay which was very good. No complaints.

The en-suite shower room was a good size with quality soaps and towels provided. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was superb - lots of choice and delicious. All of the staff that we dealt with were pleasant and helpful. We will look forward to staying here again in the future when the opportunity arises. Excellent!

Inverness downtown is half an hour drive from the hotel. All the staff members we spoke to were all very polite and courteous. Overall I would recommend this hotel for a quick stay as there is not a lot to do in the area.

The dinner menu is good and our meals were delicious. The staff are terrific - they are warm and welcoming and really helped us when we left an expensive electronic device behind and needed help have it shipped to our next hotel. Looking for Nessie? This is the place to stay!
