Inch Hotel - A former hunting lodge overlooking Loch Ness with a restaurant using locally sourced produce, a bar with over 60 malt whiskies, and complimentary WiFi and parking.
Inch Hotel, a 3-star former hunting lodge, sits on a hillside with picture-window views of Loch Ness. The property offers en-suite rooms with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee making facilities, and hairdryers; some accommodations feature loch views, while others look toward woodlands. The on-site restaurant serves a Scottish menu built around locally sourced produce, and the bar and lounge feature an open log fire alongside over 60 malt whiskies. A continental breakfast is available each morning at the Inch Hotel. The hotel provides free WiFi throughout the building and free private parking. Leisure options include cycling, fishing, golf, hiking, and horse riding; the hotel can also arrange walking, climbing, and art courses, as well as private day sailing trips on Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. The property is set about a 10-minute walk from the centre of Fort Augustus and a short drive from Urquhart Castle. Guests have access to a garden with outdoor furniture, and the hotel offers express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a 24-hour front desk. Family rooms, kids' meals, and a designated smoking area are available. The hotel is situated on a narrow, winding road without a footpath, so driving into town is recommended. An airport shuttle service can be arranged for a fee.
Pros
Stunning views over Loch Ness from the lounge and many rooms.
Staff consistently described as friendly, professional, and welcoming.
Dinner and breakfast receive frequent praise for quality and presentation.
Free on-site parking and WiFi are provided.
The bar offers over 60 malt whiskies and a cosy log fire.
Cons
The hotel has no elevator, so guests on upper floors must use stairs with luggage.
Some guests reported inconsistent water pressure or temperature in the showers.
“The Inch Hotel, a thoughtfully restored hunting lodge, impresses with its charming Highland decor and genuinely pleasant staff. While the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the lack of an elevator means guests should be prepared for stairs, a point worth noting for those with mobility concerns. Still, the exceptional views over Loch Ness and the quality of the restaurant make it a highly recommended stay for those able to navigate the accommodation.”
