I was pleasantly surprised on arrival at The Inch Hotel. The manager who checked us in was really friendly and helpful, he gave us lots of information on the local area and recommended places for us to visit and the best way to get there. Our room was possibly in the furthest part of the hotel and i couldn't get any wifi there but the size of the room, the bed and the overall cozyness made up for it. The en suite bathroom was a bit of a hazard, the light switch hit you in the face if you forgot it catches on the door and don't move quick enough, the shower was over the bath and without a none slip bath mat both me and my partner had a close calling getting out of the shower and both nearly slipped. We ate both breakfast and an evening meal here and both were excellent. All the staff were super friendly and helpfull. The bar area was cozy and there is a seprate room to relax in with comfy chairs and great views. There are loads of excellent prints/photos all around the hotel of wildlife and scenery, i would of bought some if they were for sale. I enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

There wasn't really anything wrong with the room apart from being right at the top of the hotel looking out at a tree. It was more a case of never go back as it's spoilt the memory of our visit 12 yrs ago. The food was ok but nothing special

Must try harder - what a disappointment
I note a large number of 10* reviews and cannot accept those as genuine. I've stayed in this hotel on 4 previous occasions and always been really happy with it. But the dinner this time was terrible and breakfast just about ok. The bar was only stocked with products you could buy at the local convenience store and had only one type of gin. Gone is the traditional Scottish country house ambiance, replaced by pizza and empty fireplaces by the new owner. Very disappointing :(

It is a lovely 3 star hotel in a quiet spot on Lochness. As long as you have a car it is a great base to explore the surrounding area. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Each room is named after a Scottish Loch. The carpets are tartan colours. The food is amazing. The friendly staff are courteous and helpful. The hotel exudes charm. Loch Ness is visible from many rooms and is within walking distance. The sunrises over Loch Ness were glorious. I’d love to stay there again. A lucky find for us!

Dated property but had a bit of charm. Could use a freshening up (paint, carpeting) but good location and nice break. Was surprised that there was no lift…would have been problematic for someone with mobility limitations but nice stay overall

Overall, this is probably my favorite hotel I have ever been to. Staff was top notch, breakfast was incredible, room was very comfortable and clean. Easy walk to village center. Please note: The Highland cows that are pictured aren’t currently there (as of 18 July, 2024) due to a fence issue. The hotel is incredible nonetheless!

The GM, Dhiraj Smetty, works tirelessly to make sure all is perfect from check-in to dinning. He went above and beyond to address a billing issue, not of his making, and resolved it with total professionalism and concern for our needs.

Beautiful country house overlooking Loch Ness. Ample car parking space. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and well kept. There was a variety of options for breakfast which were made to order and you could adjust according to your preference. Only snag was that we were on the top floor so had a skylight window with no blinds and in June there was constant light so some sort of blinds would have made the stay perfect - my advice, take an sleep mask with you
