Just a perfect stay! I can highly recommend Jane's cooking, both breakfast and dinner were delicious. Rooms are cozy, nothing too fancy, but very clean. Very nice location as well, you can start a hike in the woods with views of Loch Ness from here.

Our stay at Foresters Lodge was superb. We enjoyed having a variety of options for breakfast. The pancake and fruit was mouth watering. We had a delightful conversation with our hosts during breakfast. Meeting new people is my favorite part of traveling. Their home was a very short walk from the beautiful shores of Loch Ness. There are also some established trails right behind their home.

Jane is an awesome host and a great cook. Definitely pre-order dinner if you plan on staying here. Especially the Cullen Skink was very delicious and filled me up quite a bit.  …

BEST CULLEN SKINK YOU WILL EVER EAT!! I would stay here again solely to have Cullen Skink and Jane's super soup for starters, mains and dessert. Jane was amazingly accommodating and we couldn't have asked for more hospitality. Her gorgeous dogs were the icing on the cake.

Incredible service and hospitality! This location feels less like a hotel and more like staying with friends. I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to this area. The room was plenty large enough for two people. The bathroom was private and had towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Breakfast the morning of was delicious and plentiful.

We absolutely loved staying at Forester's Lodge. The rooms were lovely, the views were fantastic and the cooking was amazing. Jane was lovely and we were so happy spending time with Lily, Freddie and Smudge. Loch Ness is just down the road, there is a a forest walk next door and you're only 30 minutes away from Inverness and Fort Augustus.We can't wait to travel around Scotland next year and stop by again! Thank you so much for being such a great host Jane!
