Nice stay, no lift.

We stayed for 3 nights, it was on the top floor (2nd). Room space was adequate, not very spacious. It was a country style hotel with good vibes. But could do better with roome service as it is in middle of woods so you may see small insects if window is open.

Quaint older hotel with adequate amenities.(full bar and restaurant). Food and service were great. Could use some black out curtains and the mattresses could use an update. .

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.

The place to stay around Loch Ness

I´m reluctant to give my recommendations to The Inch, because then more guest will visit them, and maybe spoil that rural charm. The hotel manager Mukesh is a proper gentleman, and his previous experience ensure that you get a treatment and service way above what one could expect in tithes quite remote hotel. We, my wife and I, are surely coming back next year, to enjoy the meals from the kitchen, the romantic rooms, the splendid view, and above all, the atmosphere, ensured by the very competent staff. See you in ´26!

Country living

This is a wonderful place to stay. It feels like the Scottish hunting lodge it was, solid and comfortable and close to the forest. The view over Loch Ness is perfect. The staff take very good care of you. The food is excellent. The location is convenient to all the Highlands. The bed is comfortable. There is a fine lounge downstairs and chairs on the lawn overlooking the loch. My only tiny complaint was that the toiletries and in room coffee came in tiny plastic packaging which caused a lot of difficult recycling.

Was very friendly. Wish that the highland cows were near the property like in the posting.
Shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel, though small, holds a rustic grandeur that encourages a long happy stay. Though my own stay was short (only 2 nights), I was able to explore the lucious ground and glenway trail that is connected to the hotel. As well as the friendly and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant were superb. Accommodations were alightly dated but held a rustic charm.
Seth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a lovely place to stay near Loch Ness, with a view of the loch from our room. Service was very good, with attentive and kind staff. Food offerings were varied, and what we ate was wonderful. It seemed like the bathroom had been updated fairly recently, but the room could have used some new paint and carpet. Overall a great little place to stay

Poor views from rooms and breakfast poor standard

Breakfast was of a poor standard and the views from the rooms are obscured by trees or a fire escape.

Katrina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were disappointed that the Highland Cows had been moved and were not there. The views were lovely and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We had to drive to the town for dinner, but it wasn't too far and it was a nice little town with many dining choices. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Breakfast was delicious and very nice. There were nice rooms for visiting with other guests.
View from our room.
room had a nice seating area.
