A lovely building in a great location in the central highlands. Ashame they only serve fooin the restaurant which was fully booked throughout our 3-night stay. Staff is friendly but could be more attentive and proactive to feel truly welcomed.

Positioned just outside the busiest part of town yet very convenient for everything. Charge points in the car park (charge point Scotland, and Tesla) were very handy for us EV users. If anything a little too warm at night (tho’ I suspect non-British or ‘maturer’ visitors appreciate it warmer.

Very nice property and friendly/helpful staff. The room was super hot when we got there. Previous guests must have cranked up the radiators. Bathroom never really cooled down, and can’t turn off the heated floors which heat the room. We opened the windows high but you risk birds and insects. Staff provided a fan which helped bit hard to sleep when too hot. Other than that all was very nice stay.

Loved our stay here, it’s worth the price and the trip! We liked it so much, we would come back here for another vacation and stay here the entire time!
Lots of easy parking available!
As soon as we walked in, we felted welcomed! We were greeted with a welcome drink and was told all about everything they offered!
Our room was soooo cute! We loved the fact that the TV’s came out of the beds, everything was so modern and echo friendly. The room felt so cozy and clean, it made you want to just stay inside the entire time instead of leave to explore! They even offer hot chocolate and snacks in the mini fridge.
The views were also fantastic of the Loch Ness!
The town is right down the street and easy to walk too.
I would definitely recommend this place!

Nice room, lovely big bed and TV in the bathroom was a treat. Lovely little surprises like the complimentary hot chocolate sticks made by the hotel. Cosy sitting room with fire to enjoy your drinks.

We stayed one night on bed and breakfast basis. We also dined there on the three course set menu. It was fairly pricey after adding pre dinner drinks and a couple of glasses of wine however we couldn’t fault a thing. Food was amazing. Modern, inventive and very, very tasty. Presentation was first class. Staff were exceptionally friendly.
Our room was in The Loft. Small but immaculate with a quirky Alice in Wonderland theme. We hope to return!

Great location, great breakfast and dinner was amazing. Room was awesome with only one exception - the bottom sheet was not fitted and moved too easily exposing the mattress underneath. It seems like such an easy thing to correct.
Everything else was great.

The Lovat is a lovely hotel with a fantastic location. The rooms are very nice and the hotel setting throughout showcases luxury all round. The rooms in the hotel are nicer than the garden rooms (there isn't much of a garden which opens up to the car park). Otherwise, a great hotel to consider when visiting Fort Augustus.

5.0
The staff were amazing! The food great for the tasting we attended. The room was charming. Overall our stay was great, but we do have comments. We understand it's an older hotel but, the carpet in the room has seen better days and is "tired" and could use to be replaced. I would have expected a mini fridge in the room at a hotel like this. The bathroom as clean as it was had some inexperienced people do the work obviously. Too many issues to describe, from the seriously uneven floor to the terrible caulking. We would stay again without a doubt, just expected more from this location.

Good location only a few minutes walk to the locks. The room was very nice and breakfast was incredible.

Out of all
The rooms we stayed in during our 7 night stay in Scotland this one was my favourite, the bed was so comfortable, it was just a shame that the restaurant was closed as the menu looked lovely

Food was far to expensive..no atmosphere in hotel…bed was uncomfortable..room was quite small,, wakened up every morning at 6.30 with delivery men banging doors etc..reception area on most occasions was empty..

Lovely property in a nice setting. Would have been nice to have had a less expensive option for dining. Car parking was a little difficult as the car park was quite full. Very comfortable bed. Staff were lovely, very pleasant and very helpful. Would stay again.
