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!

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.
4.4
It was the very definition of average — not too good, not too bad!
4.4
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
4.4
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.
4.4
Loved the deco and dining place, and breakfast
Stairs to lift your luggages though…
I would come back for sure.

Great view of Loch Ness and the Highlands, close to Fort Augustus. Quiet, serene.

Stayed for two nights. Very enjoyable stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Had dinner there one night which was nice, and we enjoyed breakfast. Location was great, room comfortable.

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 :(
4.4
What a charming hotel! It was so cozy and some rooms have a view of Loch Ness. The staff were very kind and attentive.
4.4
Characterful independent hotel with very friendly staff, good food and view of Loch Ness
4.4
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!

Ok for a stop over. Nice location and handy for town and countryside.
4.4
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
4.4
Nice place, the room was clean and tidy. Beautiful view over Loch Ness from bed. Excellent breakfast.
4.4
Great view of loch Ness, clean and comfortable bed. Staff friendly and helpful. Lot's of parking spaces.

Overall, this is probably my favorite hotel I have ever been to. Staff was top notch, breakfast was incredible, room was very comfortable and clean. Easy walk to village center. Please note: The Highland cows that are pictured aren’t currently there (as of 18 July, 2024) due to a fence issue. The hotel is incredible nonetheless!

The GM, Dhiraj Smetty, works tirelessly to make sure all is perfect from check-in to dinning. He went above and beyond to address a billing issue, not of his making, and resolved it with total professionalism and concern for our needs.
4.4
Comfortable property in a suberb location. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The building itself could use some updating but overall, a great spot for exploring the Highlands!
4.4
Beautiful country house overlooking Loch Ness.
Ample car parking space.
Staff are welcoming and helpful.
Our room was spacious, clean and well kept.
There was a variety of options for breakfast which were made to order and you could adjust according to your preference.
Only snag was that we were on the top floor so had a skylight window with no blinds and in June there was constant light so some sort of blinds would have made the stay perfect - my advice, take an sleep mask with you

Very comfortable stay

My husband I stayed here overnight. It was a nice quiet stay with a pretty view of the loch. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel has charm, but could use a few updates particularly in regard to the bathroom. We also weren’t able to successfully lock our door when we left the room. The restaurant was tasty, but on the pricey side. There aren’t any other options nearby.

Lovely place on the banks of a Loch, staff were very friendly and helpful. Helped us with late checkin as well.
4.4
Beautiful and stately facility. The staff were accommodating and our room was spacious and comfortable. Our only complaint was the desk had no chair, and the one that was brought up didn't fit. But otherwise we enjoyed our stay. The included breakfast had lots of options and was served in a lovely room with pretty views.

Super lodge with friendly staff in great location. Recommend!

This property is gorgeous and overlooks Loch Ness! Our room was spacious and overlooked the loch as well. Felt like we were staying in a piece of history (in a good way). Highly recommend!

Everything about this hotel was pleasing! We loved our room...it was large and very comfortable and luxurious. The food was very tasty.
4.4
Feels like a hotel that was exceptional five years ago. Now seems a bit rundown, but the service was excellent.
4.4
Stay was ok. Staff were nice enough. It was a hot day when we were there and the room was unbearably hot. As it’s an older hotel, there is no air con.it would elevate the service if a fan was provided as standard. Opening the window is just an open invitation for moths and other such flying insects.
4.4
Very helpful and nice personel. They really wanted us to have a wonderful stay, and we did.
4.4
I’ve stayed at the Inch quite a few times now and it’s still the best place I’ve been to.
4.4
Amazing property and service. Beautiful view. Quiet and safe. I wish I would have more time to expend there.
4.4
Beautiful setting in an old building. The staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. It was their first night open after seasonal closure so some things were not available (also because of bank holidays). The room was comfortable and spacious, good bathroom and shower with good water pressure.
The shower gel was not replenished after the previous guest checked out and there was a nasty stain on the bath mat, but those are the only minuses.
Would recommend.

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful rooms and decor with stunning views
