Lovely three course lunch overlooking Loch Ness whilst waiting for my River Cruise. I wasn't feeling the best so their food was exactly what I needed on the day! Warming soup, delicious pie and yummy cake. Tasted all home-made. …

Good location to Jacobite Loch Ness cruises...literally across the road. Nothing else close by. Good view of the Loch from the restaurant and only if you have a Loch view room. Food options good including gluten free options. Restaurant service is slow and staff not friendly. Nice gift shop. Rooms not sound proof so you can hear the guests next door ans shower.

Comfortable room which was small but had all we needed for the night. My only gripe was that our view was of a rock as it was at the back of the hotel.|We did have a lovely meal with fantastic views of Loch ness from the restaurant. |Breakfast was very good too.

A good place for lunch before a Loch Ness cruise.There was some confusion over what food we had ordered but it was sorted quickly.Food is good but maybe a little bit expensive but this will be down to the location.Cafe has great views across the Loch.

Stopped in for a bite of lunch whilst exploring the edge of Loch Ness, the food was good, and even with coach loads of tourists, it was surprisingly not that busy.||The only negative I'd have to say would be the parking, but it's understandable and acceptable with the location and amazing views.

Stopped in for a pint while traveling through Scotland on holiday. I'm so glad we found this cafe at the hotel. (We didn't stay at the hotel) We did some research and found the boat cruise we wanted left from this location. We had a pint and shared the salmon sandwich. We were able to charge our phone and enjoy the view of the Loch Ness.
