Quaint, slightly eccentric little hotel on the edge of a loch. Great friendly service, good food. Old building, which is its charm. It’s right at the ferry terminal- which is why we booked- just be aware of the noise early morning, didn’t bother us as we are early risers. Enjoyed!!

Fantastic location and view on the loch from the room : you may not want to sleep in order to keep looking at the loch ! To be noted, you may take a ferry to arrive depending on where you come from. Really nice walk on the beach right next to the Inn. The room was super confortable and the bathroom was huge. We went there for our honeymoon and I asked the staff to surprise my husband with a note in the room. The staff kindly prepared the note but also surprised us with nice decoration, red rose and chocolates. That was really nice and we could feel that the staff just wanted to please us and were happy to be a part of our journey. Thanks very much, it was lovely ! We sincerely hope to come back

We stayed in three rooms with six adults and four children, and our experience was nothing short of amazing. The inn is nestled in a small, charming area that feels like a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding—truly second to none. We enjoyed breakfast twice and dinner twice during our stay, along with a pint or two, and every meal was absolutely delicious. The food is locally sourced, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. What stood out the most was how we were treated like family from beginning to end. If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with warmth, great food, and genuine hospitality, this is the place to be. Don’t miss the chance to experience it for yourself.

Lovely place, Lovely friendly staff. Food and little pricey for what it was , even though it was nice. I suppose they can charge that because of where they are . Nice place

Lovely Highland hotel perfectly situated. Very nice staff! The guy who runs the place is the funniest person we ever met! He did actually think there was going to be a huge amount of snow coming in! There was nothing! Or was he joking, maybe???? We'll ask him next time! Anyway, we do highly recommend the place!

Absolutely incredible food. I had the fish pie and my partner had the most amazing fish and chips with house made tartare sauce. We were actually staying across the loch, but took the ferry over for dinner which really added to the experience and ambiance. Such a pretty location, can see right up the Great Glen. Good service too Could not recommend enough
