Conveniently located on the A82 close, not within walking distance, to Loch Ness. Off road parking outside the Loch Ness experience which is next door. Our room was at the back so quiet. Comfortable room with good size bathroom. Wasn't a huge selection on the menu for the evening meal but the food was tasty, it's advisable to book. There was a good selection for breakfast

Liked: Cleanliness
Very clean property. Hotel looks a bit tired and maybe could do with a makeover. Food very expensive for what you receive. We stayed in the lodge while it was very clean the shower was not fit for purpose, no pressure and if you are over 5foot8 impossible to get under shower head. The lodge rooms are very close together while it is not the property itself fault the doors banging shut in the lodge building was extremely loud. This was going on most of night and early mornings. We also had an incident where someone managed to get a key to our room and walk in while we were there. Very strange.

Now marketed as the Drum Hotel, Expedia should do the same and not use Drumnadrochit Hotel! The room was small for a twin room and very basic for storing clothes etc. Overall the staff were helpful on reception when asked anything about visitor attractions. We only ate one breakfast in the cafe. Would have preferred a proper breakfast room with more obvious element of being served. The cafe had no yoghurt so one breakfast was unavailable and as it was Bank Holiday the reason we didn’t eat again there. The breakfast chosen included a hot drink but as one choice was peppermint instead of breakfast it was attempted to charge £3.95 for the tea bag! This was subsequently refunded but not the 10% service charge. Charging 10% service charge was a rip off as the customer does most of the work, placing an order at the counter, collecting cutlery etc with the cafe staff simply bringing the meal to your table. My advice would be for the cost charged, have the service charge removed.
