Had a lovely one night stay here with my wife and our big dog. Was made to feel very welcome, room was good, bathroom was excellent and the shower pressure unbelievably brilliant. Good breakfast in the morning and really enjoyed our wander around Fort Augustus. This was a really pleasant stay and excellent value for money.

Moral’s lodge is convenient to local cafes and bars and also the locks where we enjoyed watching the boats in the morning. We had dinner at the lodge and it was excellent. Couldn’t fault it. So fresh and home cooked. Highly recommend eating there. Breakfast also very good. Rooms and bathroom very clean.

Highly recommended. Stayed only one night while passing through. Centrally located, clean, quiet and a good sized private room. I'd also strongly recommend the McNessie Burger for your evening meal, it was great quality and very tasty. A lovely spot.

This place was a "last minute" option for us because of a wrong booking, so we just "dropped in" and asked for a room, but turned to be one of the best accomodations during our ten day trip in Scotland. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The hostel is easily accessible from the main road, but far enough from the noise of the traffic . The rooms are simple but clean. You can have dinner and breakfast, both were very tasty, abundant and cheap. There is a bar with good quality craft beers. We liked the efforts they made to be sustainable. The whole place has a unique atmosphere

Nice busy wee independent hostel. A great budget option for a short stay. Basic rooms but nice bar, reception, breakfast area and the option of a hot meal. Friendly and professional staff. Secure bike storage. 2 mins walk from the centre.
