A beautiful stay right by Loch Ness
We absolutely loved our stay at the Inch Hotel. It's in such a great spot - our day was spent visiting Culloden and Loch Ness with the intention of driving onwards towards Fort William. The Inch Hotel was in a perfect spot for a one night stop during this drive/trip. We loved that we could see Loch Ness from our rooms. The rooms were comfortable and decorated nicely. We loved the all-around coziness of the hotel. The carpet, decorations, and general look was exactly what we wanted in a small hotel. Our favorite part was the communal den - it had games, bookshelves, a wonderful fire place, and a gorgeous big window that overlooked the Loch. Also, we can't speak highly enough about the staff. They were kind and accommodating. I was very impressed! Finally, we had dinner and then breakfast there, and both meals were delicious. We had wanted to walk into town for dinner, but sadly arrived far too late in the evening to make it possible! But the next morning we did the walk into town, and it was an easy walk! I'd highly recommend staying here!

Great location
We had a one night stay on our way back home from completing the NC500. We were made very welcome, including our dog. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and only a few minutes walk from the little town of Fort Augustus. Hotel was lovely, however looking a little tired. This hotel advertises that it has a malt selection of 60 varieties, we found this appeared to be much reduced.

Could be a lot better
Hotel is rather tired, did the job though. Restaurant is rather overpriced. Service however was excellent - especially Jay. Spend a few quid and would be a cracking spot

Lovely location with Loch Ness glimpses from bedroom on first floor. Meals were very good, both dinner at night and breakfast in the morning. Staff were courteous and efficient.

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
