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.

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.

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.

This place is magical and so much nicer than what we imagined or were lead to believe by the advertising. This hotel is right on the alive Ness canal as it enters lake Koch was and right outside the hotel are boats and ships traversing the canals, it was magical!

The room was newly decorated and all of the contents looked new. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. We hadnt realised that it was a collection of rooms rather than a hotel and we drove round a couple of times before finding the entrance and where to park. We felt it was overpriced but we had a comfortable stay.

Great place for tourists, many pubs and restaurants around. The place is recently refurbished, all is new. It's a bit noisy, but hey, it's a tourist place. All and all, for a short stay it's definitely worth it.

Nice cozy room. Not really a hotel, but easy to access with given code for the key lock. Perfect location at the south end of Loch Ness with some nice pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
