What a lovely hotel. We only stopped there for coffee and cake while we moored on the loch but we were pleasantly surprised by both the service and our food. The building and the grounds are lovely, full of character and beautiful views over the loch. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Just a 5 min walk through the woodland are the ruins of the old castle. Plenty of car parking at the hotel, if you are driving.

We hugely enjoyed our stay. Great rooms, marvellous meal, and a roaring fire in which to sit in front whilst drinking whisky. And a great packed lunch for us as we continued on the Great Glen Way.
