A lovely spot just a short walk to town and the Loch Ness Cruises. The rooms were very comfortable and well equipped.  …

5 minutes walk to the town centre, on the main road but surprisingly quiet. Beds really comfy, shower is amazing. No utensils, table or chairs in the room so if bringing food back make sure it’s something you can eat out of the packaging and plastic cutlery is provided.

This B&B is clearly still a work in progress and will be good once it's finished. There is no doubt that a lot of effort has gone into refurbishing the rooms which are a fantastic size with an impressive and expensive bathroom. …

We were on a cycling tour of the West coast of Scotland so stayed in a few B&Bs and this was the worst and I can't honestly recommend it. We received an email the night before stating that because of licensing issues??? …

Had everything we needed.We didn't meet the owners but had a message telling us where our keys had been left.There is parking at the property.The room had lovely 4 poster bed and a huge jacuzzi bath.Continental breakfast was offered but we declined. It's only a short walk to fort Augustus and there are a few nice places to eat.

Lovely location at the south end of Loch Ness. Arrived and found our way in, due to COVID all still rather hands off and normal cooked breakfast was not available.  …

Visited in October 2022, stayed one night. I stayed in one of the small twin rooms. Had to phone for access which all went smoothly. ||I was really impressed with the room. It had clearly just been refurbished to a high standard. …

Whilst the location is great being within walking distance of the centre of Fort Augustus, the room is spacious and parking is good, the negatives of this B&B outweigh the positives. …
