We were attending a wedding with our two dogs and stayed for three nights.The service throughout was excellent, staff were always helpful and with a smile. The room was a junior suite and perfect for us and our dogs, suffient storage and with an excellent shower. The gardens were very well kept and interesting being a mixture of trees, plant and lawn. The hotel itself was extremely well maintained with the function room being ideal for the wedding, especially as it had it's own bar.With regard to location it is a very short distance to Loch Ness and Inverness, great for exploring the north of Scotland.Would we stay at the hotel again, absolutely.

Darren and his staff have created a wonderful dinner menu which was the pinnacle of my stay in the UK. Service was top notch from beginning to end. I arrived without reservation on a whim and was warmly welcomed.  …

We only stayed one night at Loch Ness Country House Hotel, but we would highly recommend it! It was the best of both worlds with feeling like you were in the quiet and beautiful countryside, but also only a short drive away from downtown Inverness. The staff were friendly and accommodating, including arranging transportation for us into town. We would highly recommend staying here!!!

We booked Loch Ness Country House Hotel for our wedding ceremony and reception because we loved the gardens and location so much as well as the food.We were honestly blown away by the level of service we received not only on the day of our wedding but the evening before and the morning after.From the point of booking the venue for our wedding, right up to the day itself, their wedding co-ordinator, Chloe was exceptional and was not only lovely but she made us feel at ease. No question was a silly question and she took the stress out of planning the big day.From the moment we checked in, we were made to feel like the hotel was our home for the next couple of days. The whole team were amazing and no request we made was a bother. They helped with setting up the venue the night before and throughout the day itself, as well as helping us tidy up afterwards.The food was outstanding and a lot of our guests commented on how everything they tried (particularly the beef) was delicious. The chef really outdid himself with every meal!The rooms themselves were clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were all lovely and made us and our guests feel welcome - special shoutout to all of the team on the day, including the master of ceremonies, Graham.We cannot recommend Loch Ness Country House Hotel enough and we cannot wait to return for an anniversary meal next year.Thank you again!Mr & Mrs Callum

A delightful country house, complete with turret rooms and ivy creeping up its walls. The extensive gardens were lovely and there were flowers everywhere. The interior was very pleasant and welcoming. …

Loch Ness Country House Hotel absolutely has to be the favorite place we stayed in all of Scotland!!! The location is gorgeous, rooms are huge and well appointed, and the staff were the kindest, most helpful people!! Food here was top notch for breakfast and dinner. And the gardens were gorgeous for a post dinner frolic with the kids. Graeme made us feel so special and welcome. Thank you! We will absolutely come back, and I’d recommend to everyone!

Homely hotel, welcoming staff, good location near to Inverness and Loch Ness, great bedrooms - large, with a separate sitting area and good bathroom. Fantastic garden to look over. Breakfast good, steak for dinner fine but not brilliant.
