Craig
Everything was absolutely fantastic. Location, the hotel itself, our room and, of course the friendly and helpful staff. Also ate dinner at the restaurant, brilliant as well.
Alisdair
Breakfast was great, although a little confusing regards the cost. £20 for continental and £25 for cooked options.
Daliah
I highly recommend a stay at the Lovett. We stayed in the garden rooms and we honestly had such a good sleep. The bedroom was beautifully decorated, quiet location, and the mattresses were lovely and firm.
The location of this hotel is also fantastic and walkable to the local restaurants and the edge of Loch Ness

Excellent location to stay and explore the Highlands. Staff is very helpful and ready to help and provide information. Breakfast was exceptional
Shalini
I cannot say enough about how beautiful this property is. From the moment you check in the entire staff is so wonderful.
The rooms are so spacious & the decor is so gorgeous. Each room is set up with so much care. They have in-house laundry, which is very reasonable price. The breakfast buffet was delicious. The entire property including your rooms are so clean. Wish I could’ve stayed there longer. Such a memorable day.

The b&b has some great things and some things that really frustrated me:
Good
- [ ] The building is nicely done and very attractive as well as clean
- [ ] The location was great. Walkable to everything but mostly quiet
- [ ] Great pillows and bedding!
Bad
- [ ] The rooms are great to look at but ours was not very functional. There were no dressers or closet of any where to put clothes other than 4 hangars on the wall
- [ ] Also, no room to put toiletries in the bathroom. No drawers or shelves at all. Just seemed weird and not very thoughtful of the functionality
- [ ] I was glad that there was a hairdryer, but given the cost of the room, I was surprised it was the same kind as a Motel 6 (a cheap diffuser on the wall)
- [ ] Would have loved a mini frig in the room. I find it standard in most rooms 1/2 the price.
- [ ] We are vegetarian so the taster dinner was not a fit. Not a big deal.
- [ ] But breakfast (which is NOT included- Booking says it is) is extremely expensive, particularly if you aren’t a meat eater. £20 each for a continental breakfast.
Maybe I’m just too pragmatic

Lovely hotel. Great towels but breakfast should always be included
Sunny
The Lovat at Loch Ness is a charming and stylish lakeside hotel. The property has two lovely lounges, even a grand piano, and is equipped with an elevator — a thoughtful touch. Our room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight: besides the classic Highland Breakfast, we tried the Kedgeree (smoked haddock with curried rice and poached egg), which was absolutely delicious and a wonderful Scottish surprise.
The hotel’s location in Fort Augustus adds to the experience. The town itself is full of character, with the Caledonian Canal locks right at the center — watching the boats rise and fall is like a slow, graceful performance. We only stayed one night but wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the rhythm and atmosphere of this beautiful place.

The rooms were well acquainted, as well as the lounges. Staff was eager to help and extremely hospitable. Would definitely stay here again if our travels took us that direction.
Heidi Wilson
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lovat. The staff was the best of all of Scotland(from Edinburg, Fort Augustus and Isle of Skye). The hotel is beautiful and you can walk a short distance to town. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.
Raxitkumar
Great hotel. We checked in late. Rooms were clean and updated. Only downside was that coffee bar was in closet despite having two tables outside. Making coffee inside that closet and finding twitch to turn it on was challenging but not deal breaker. Will surely stay here if I visit the area again.
Marisa
Everything was absolutely perfect! When the minute we walked through the doors of this lovely hotel and the welcome we received, to the accommodations in the room, to the excellent breakfast in the morning, to our checkout.
Klara
The Lovat is gorgeous and has a charming traditional style.
Lan
I didn’t expect a room with garden view is a very very small room open in the parking lot.
Mark
Very expensive for what it is. Lovely staff but this hotel should be so much better considering the cost.
Pamela
For the price, this place disappointed. Welcome toddies were offered at check-in but a non-alcoholic option was only available for a charge. The bathroom needed attention (e.g., toilet ran, shower door off its track). Dinner at Station Road had waitstaff that was not versed in the menu and a wee bit frenetic, as well as unaware of pre-booked vegetarian and birthday requests.
Carolyn
Great location. Exemplary property, almost right on top of the locks into Loch Ness. Wonderful experience in its totality.
Definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely,comfortable and cosy room. We were met by lovely staff and a hot toddy. A lovely welcome. Breakfast was amazing and a real taste of Highland hospitality. Would definitely recommend a visit
Mark
Fantastic as always

Very nice place
Kathleen
We had an excellent stay was amazing. We loved the front room
with the fire place to relax after a long walk. One thing to remember if having a dinner there, the chef does a limited menu and sources local so if you are not an adventures eater there are few choices. But the food was delicious.

Everything about this place was lovely. Really enjoyed our stay and wished we'd booked two nights.
Lea
We loved this property. All the shops and pubs were walkable. The walk down to the lake was also quite beautiful. Our room was very comfortable. The staff were very nice and accommodating as well. This hotel is A .
Wolfgang
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.
Paul
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.
Amanda
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!

A warm welcome and a hot toddy were both appreciated after a long drive. Room was very clean and modern, wifi was good. Breakfast very good.

Great stay
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.

5 Star Experience
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!

Perfect location
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.

A very nice hotel
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.
Matthew
Stunning family-run hotel with several gorgeous lounge areas to relax in. Wished we had time to stay for longer!

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

Best bed ever
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..

The hotel is in the centre of the village. The rooms are spotless and have everything you will need

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.

This hotel is stunning, has all the amenities you need. In addition which is rare car charging for electric vehicles.

Love it? Not really but we liked it a lot :)
We stayed in a lovely chalet style room with comfy bed. We ate out as we didn't fancy the restaurant menu which was over priced.

Overall nice stay
Room was very nice and clean. The bed was far too high and mattress topper was too big for mattress so made bed slightly uncomfortable, room was also too hot although a fan was provided it was rather noisy. Bathroom had a smell of dampness and hadn’t been upgraded to the same standard as the rest of the room. Breakfast was lovely but had to pay extra for it which was expensive for what you got. We ate in the restaurant and the food was exquisite and all the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Only downside was a dog was allowed in the restaurant, when you are allergic to dogs and paying a significant amount for the meal it did tarnish the experience slightly.

Strong sense of Scottish history around the area. Hotel was beautifully kept with lots of room, which with current covid issues was good.

A spectacular stay
The Lovat is a lovely hotel on a hill overlooking the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness. The staff were friendly and helpful, the service impeccable, and the food at the Station Road restaurant worthy of a Michelin star. We had a perfect stay and will be back.

Perfect stopover in lovely location
On arrival parking was plentiful with multiple electric charging points.
Checkin was easy and friendly, however, we were extremely disappointed to be told that there were no bookings available for dinner especially as we had driven 7.5 hrs to arrive and quiet tired and hungry.
We were taken to our room (garden room) which was clean, pleasant and bright with an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. Bathroom products were very high quality, however, a little niggle for me was that they were wall mounted in the wrong places so difficult to use such as the shampoo was wall mounted by the sink and not in the shower.
Mini bar was well stocked and not extortionate on prices with complimentary tea coffee, water and a chocolate bar. The hotel use nesspresso machines for the coffee but mine was faulty. I can’t really complain about this as if they didn’t know they can’t fix it.
Surprisingly we received a call from the dinning room to say that they had redesigned their seating to fit us in as long as we don’t mind sitting close to the door. We agreed and had a fantastic 3 course dinner with drinks for just under £120.
Overall, a great stay and I would recommend to others.

Loved it!
We loved the Lovat and would definitely stay here again. Great location right next to the main drag, very friendly and helpful staff. We had booked a room with a \"front garden\" thinking this would be nice for our toddler but actually the front garden wasn't so great, right on the parking lot, and it was outside the main building - I think it is better for people with pets. We asked if they had something inside and they changed us to a much better room for us right away, no problem. Room was great and very spacious, lounge areas nice, tasting menu at the restaurant was great.

The Overall stay was Lovely. Although the Dinner Menu was not to our satisfaction. It was too fancy. Some people prefer ordinary traditional food also to be part of the Menu.

Excellent stay at The Lovat - it was amazing from start to finish, definitely the most personalised hotel experience we have had.
The staff were extremely attentive, nothing was too much trouble and the food was exceptional - staying at The Lovat was a great way to start 2020.
Being given homemade cookies for our journey back was also a huge bonus! We can’t recommend The Lovat enough - we’ll definitely be back!

Pricey but convenient and great service
We stayed here for 1 night before going to Urquhart Castle/Loch Ness. Service was great. We ate in the restaurant (The Brasserie) for dinner and breakfast for convenience. The food is good; the breakfast is standard and reasonably priced for the portion sizes, but while the dinner was good too, it was definitely priced above the quality. Our room was comfortable (a TV came out of the food of the bed, which is luxurious, I suppose), but the radiator stayed on no matter what we set the thermostat to (i.e. 6 degrees C above what it had been set to for several hours) so we had to open a window.

best food for a hotel in scotland
apart from the bed being too high off the ground, the toilet lid not staying open and the tv standby light keeping us up all night it was good. the restaurant food was above excellent.
peter
Staff friendly and professional, the garden room was excellent condition although heating was far too high and it was problem to sleep on the first night. The beds were too high, even a six footer had to climb up onto the mattress.
Overall a good stay and delight area.
