Summary: Lovely hotel. Great towels but breakfast should always be included

Sunny Sep 22, 2025 04:19:27 PM

Summary: 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.

Garry Sep 3, 2025 04:01:07 PM

Summary: 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 Aug 4, 2025 01:25:50 AM

Summary: 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 Aug 3, 2025 07:41:08 AM

Summary: 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 Jul 31, 2025 02:26:32 AM

Summary: 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 Jul 25, 2025 02:57:40 PM

Summary: The Lovat is gorgeous and has a charming traditional style.

Lan Jul 23, 2025 04:02:08 PM

Summary: I didn’t expect a room with garden view is a very very small room open in the parking lot.
