What guests think
Highland Bear Lodge & Luxury Bear Huts offers a peaceful, scenic base near Loch Ness, with cozy huts and spacious lodge rooms, beautiful views, and a quiet, secluded setting that many guests praise for comfort, character, and Scottish charm.
Many note friendly, accommodating hosts, straightforward check-in, and thoughtful in-room continental breakfasts. Common caveats include a steep, sometimes bumpy driveway, a remote location requiring a car and a drive for meals, occasional low shower water pressure, and the private hot tub being limited to certain rooms with an extra fee. Expect a tranquil, characterful retreat best suited to relaxed Highland exploring.

What an amazing place. Stayed in the Bonnie Prince Charlie room with the hot tub. Fantastic room and the hot tub was great. Nice continental breakfast in the morning. Bed was great. You will need a car here and you will need to travel for evening food. But don’t let that put you off. Will absolutely be returning.

Lovely B&B type stay. The house and room was beautiful. They left a nice selection of continental style breakfast items along with coffee and tea for the morning. If you forced me to say something negative, I would say that the water pressure was low and the driveway is steep and bumpy. So, just go slow and it won't be a problem.

this is a beautiful property within reasonable distance from Loch Ness and Inverness the start of the NC500 the continental breakfast provided exceeded expectations as it also included smoked salmon, ham and fresh orange juice. I would have perhaps included some crackers for the salmon/ham (or bread) instead of just croissants. This hotel ticked all boxes however the drive up to the hotel was horrendous on a motorbike, both getting up and down. I would seriously consider getting it tarmac'd if only a line down the center as right now I would have to discourage bikers from staying there. which is a shame as it's a beautiful property

We loved our stay at the lodge. We had the Bonnie Prince room which had some use of the outdoor spa! This was amazing to sit with a drink and relax whilst looking over the Loch Ness and highlands I. The distance. Room was very large and spacious with a very comfortable bed!! Loved our stay! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in room King Charles. Mark was very accommodating and provided oatmilk and fresh fruit when we informed him we didn’t eat meat. We used to outdoor jacuzzi, which is private for the room. An amazing experience with incredible views in the evening. It’s good to know that they charge you for using the jacuzzi though, 20 quid per day. Breakfast was decent enough, but not very versatile. We got (not newly baked) croissants every day, marmelad, butter, cheese, yogurt, cereal and OJ. You eat in your room, which is a bit different but we found it cozy. Also worth mentioning is that the hotel doesn’t have any restaurant and the closest by are about a 15 min drive away. Nothing within walking distance really. Bed was very comfortable and room beautiful. We would happy to come back!

It was a fine stay. Nothing spectacular. The host should definitely add to their Expedia listing that you will be required to leave 20 pounds in cash PER NIGHT if you would like to use the hot tub in the Bonnie Prince Charlie sweet what you pay extra money for already in the listing price. I double checked when I got there to be sure that I didn't miss it. I did not travel with cash so this was kind of annoying. The host could have definitely made note of this in emails as well. We booked this room well in advance specifically for the hot tub. Other than that breakfast was nice. An idea might be to add a microwave to the room. Also this is quite far from Inverness if you are hoping to be close by.

We stayed in the Bonnie Prince Charlie room, this was both charming, comfortable and spacious. We didn’t see the hosts but were given information to contact them if a need . Continental breakfast was left in the room. The driveway was very steep, would recommend arriving in daylight. Would highly recommend this lodge.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. Was not crazy about how impersonal the interaction was with owner/staff. Never saw anyone and keys were left in the door. The bed was worn out and both my husband and I had back pain. Zero water pressure in the showers. Originally wanted something close to Inverness which was suggested by Travelocity but this is nowhere near Inverness. Even our GPS got lost finding this. It’s not that I wouldn’t recommend this, it just wasn’t the right fit for our needs.

Liked that it was fairly secluded and quiet in the bear hut. Though if the guests in the next hut were outside you would have heard everything. The spider in the bed was definitely not ideal. Daughter stayed in the room inside the house and could hear the folks above her.

We loved our stay, just wish we could have stayed longer. We got in later than check in and Mark the owner still came to greet us and help us with our bags. He was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in the black bear hut and it was everything we needed! Definitely small, but we were expecting it to be, and if anything it added to the coziness! The owners thought of everything from snacks, tea, coffee, fresh towels, you name it. The space was so clean, I have nothing bad to say about our stay.

We had a very nice stay. The lodge is very nice and clean. The only issue we had was with the water pressure in the shower. There basically was none and it made it very difficult to wash and rinse. The temperature was also hard to control with the water either being very cold, or very very hot. Otherwise, it was a nice place.

Fantastic setting near to Loch Ness. The hut itself was cosy, comfortable and had a good shower, TV, and a WiFi signal strong enough for working. The host recommended a local pub for dinner, which was handy - again a 10-minute drive away. There was a 10-minute walk in the welcome pack that took in stunning views. Would recommend and would return.

We felt like we had gone back in history and were surrounded by luxury. The room and bathroom were beautifully appointed. The continental breakfast was fabulous and very thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for anymore from our hosts. Thank you.

Lovely B&B type stay. The house and room was beautiful. They left a nice selection of continental style breakfast items along with coffee and tea for the morning. If you forced me to say something negative, I would say that the water pressure was low and the driveway is steep and bumpy. So, just go slow and it won't be a problem.

Great little hut. Very comfortable and warm and really peaceful. Bed was seriously comfy. Had enough sunny spells for some breakfast outside too which was lovely. Really close to Drumnadrochit for food and shops. Also really close to Glen Affric which meant I could beat the car park crowds when visiting without having to get up seriously early.

this is a beautiful property within reasonable distance from Loch Ness and Inverness the start of the NC500 the continental breakfast provided exceeded expectations as it also included smoked salmon, ham and fresh orange juice. I would have perhaps included some crackers for the salmon/ham (or bread) instead of just croissants. This hotel ticked all boxes however the drive up to the hotel was horrendous on a motorbike, both getting up and down. I would seriously consider getting it tarmac'd if only a line down the center as right now I would have to discourage bikers from staying there. which is a shame as it's a beautiful property

Fantastic setting near to Loch Ness. The hut itself was cosy, comfortable and had a good shower, TV, and a WiFi signal strong enough for working. The host recommended a local pub for dinner, which was handy - again a 10-minute drive away. There was a 10-minute walk in the welcome pack that took in stunning views. Would recommend and would return.

We had a wonderful stay in room King Charles. Mark was very accommodating and provided oatmilk and fresh fruit when we informed him we didn’t eat meat. We used to outdoor jacuzzi, which is private for the room. An amazing experience with incredible views in the evening. It’s good to know that they charge you for using the jacuzzi though, 20 quid per day. Breakfast was decent enough, but not very versatile. We got (not newly baked) croissants every day, marmelad, butter, cheese, yogurt, cereal and OJ. You eat in your room, which is a bit different but we found it cozy. Also worth mentioning is that the hotel doesn’t have any restaurant and the closest by are about a 15 min drive away. Nothing within walking distance really. Bed was very comfortable and room beautiful. We would happy to come back!

It was a fine stay. Nothing spectacular. The host should definitely add to their Expedia listing that you will be required to leave 20 pounds in cash PER NIGHT if you would like to use the hot tub in the Bonnie Prince Charlie sweet what you pay extra money for already in the listing price. I double checked when I got there to be sure that I didn't miss it. I did not travel with cash so this was kind of annoying. The host could have definitely made note of this in emails as well. We booked this room well in advance specifically for the hot tub. Other than that breakfast was nice. An idea might be to add a microwave to the room. Also this is quite far from Inverness if you are hoping to be close by.

Beautiful luxurious mansion with thoughtful styling throughout! The lodge was on the top of the hill creating privacy and with gorgeous views of the loch and hills. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Would highly recommend this stay when visiting loch ness!

Dining
Continental breakfast is provided in-room and often praised as generous, though some found it basic or limited. There is no on-site restaurant, and dinner options require a drive to nearby towns.

A lovely place to stay. Easy checking in and out. A very clean, well appointed shepherds hut. If booking please be aware that breakfast is cornflakes/instant porridge and a breakfast bar plus tea or coffee. This was enough for us but wanted to point it out as it might be helpful for others booking.

The place was nice,cozy and clean. Excellent ambience for a short getaway. The food provided was something which I found was not as expected. Breakfast was frozen items and most of them were things that we dont eat. Other than that it was an excellent place.

What an amazing place. Stayed in the Bonnie Prince Charlie room with the hot tub. Fantastic room and the hot tub was great. Nice continental breakfast in the morning. Bed was great. You will need a car here and you will need to travel for evening food. But don’t let that put you off. Will absolutely be returning.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Highland Bear Lodge. The property is absolutely stunning, and our room (The Bonnie Prince Charlie Suite) was amazing. We felt like we had gone back in history and were surrounded by luxury. The room and bathroom were beautifully appointed. The continental breakfast was fabulous and very thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for anymore from our hosts. Thank you.

Beautiful lodge house with fantastic countryside views. Stayed in the Bonnie Prince Charlie suite which was amazing. The window overlooking the side of the lodge affords a great view of a variety of wild birds including Woodpeckers as they feed on the bird feeding station. To great surprise a rare red squirrel also visited! Nice large continental breakfast that couldn't be finished. Nice change from the standard cooked breakfast often served by B and Bs. Large communal lounge sitting room with large traditional stone fireplace and TV. The owner Mark is a friendly guy who ensures everything is all good during your stay. The location is a little of the main roads but still within easy car access to the two restaurants available in loch Ness area. Outside table dining area couldn't be used due to rain spoiling play. Great area if weather is fine. Free onsite car parking. Not sure what more can be said. The photos on the booking site do not do the lodge justice. If back in the area I will try and return.

Great location, stayed in the hut, which is a very nicely appointed small space. However the hut may not be ideal for tall or big people. Though the room did not include breakfast, they had provided breakfast bars, cereal, pastry, etc, which was very nice. Getting the hot water going was a bit tricky initially until we got the hang of it. The hut guests are not allowed access to the main lodge and this does not seem fair especially in inclement weather, since the outdoor benches cannot be used and there is almost no space to move around the room once the chairs and table are set up
