The property is located conveniently close to the Lochness cruise and the locks. The room was clean and spacious.

This property was great and great location. However check in and out time is ridiculous. Can’t check in before 430pm and check out is promptly at 10. There is no staff on premises which isn’t a big deal to me but might be for others. Room was very spacious (Neptune) and comfortable.

Apart from difficulty accessing the accommodation, Management should thank the Kiwi in the restaurant for helping us make contact with Charlie. But once in and noted the code to our room was already set, the rest was easy. We had a nice view of the water etc,

Stayed for one night following completion of the NC500. Good to see Loch Ness although we missed Nessie on this occasion! Very easy check in and great facilities right in the centre of town. A few places to grab food nearby. We had a Chinese takeaway.

The people are super friendly and made our stay so perfect! The room was conveniently located to everything in the village. We had all that we needed. Had we traveled during a warmer season, we would have made use of our balcony more! We'll be back soon!

Unfortunately because all the emails did not come through in the order they instructed, and not having a phone allowing me to dial the “emergency” number on the door, we were unable to enter our room and had to find accommodations elsewhere. Since we’ve been traveling for a month, I was unable to print off emails to keep in my folder of reservations and found the email with the room code dated two weeks earlier instead of two days after the email telling me to expect in two days. Shame because area was gorgeous with all kinds of places to eat.

The property itself was just a room, it was clean etc.Unfortunately the guest house has a next door neighbour that allows their dogs to bark CONSTANTLY throughout our 2 day stay. We were also a bit suprised that the main canal locks were closed down for repairs (one of the only reasons to visit Fort Augustus) but properties were still full price.
