Loch Ness Lodge

Good cozy hotel with very welcoming staff and amazing views

Beautiful property and lovely thoughtful staff

We loved our stay at the Loch Ness Lodge! The whole experience was lifted to the next level by the excellent 5 star service we received from start to finish. The gentleman running the hotel was wonderful at explaining sights in the area, booking a restaurant, and giving us some great explanations about local whiskeys and how to appreciate whiskey for first-timers. The hotel felt very premium yet still cosy and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

Staff were amazing!!!

Gabriel the manager was excellent and very helpful

Gabriel and Jaro are absolutely wonderful! I have never felt so welcome or more like a VIP than staying here with their service. We had quite a tricky itinerary and Gabriel went out of his way to offer solutions without being asked and it was so appreciated! Would come back in a heart beat.

A wonderful stay, Jaro was very helpful!

Seriously lovely stay and an outstanding breakfast

Beautiful setting with magnificent views. The hotel manager was very welcoming and went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We would highly recommend this establishment. The self contained cottages available to rent were also superb. We look forward to returning.

Perfect, highly recommend

It’s just a beautiful place… we loved it!!! The staff is beyond friendly and courteous, the hotel is intact very clean, breakfast was delicious and our room had the most beautiful view to the lake! Thank you so much.

Absolutely STUNNING accommodation and location. Staff were all fantastic. Will definitely be back

Absolutely brilliant from start till finish, the staff were so welcoming & helpful, the hotel itself is stunning, very clean to a high standard, the breakfast was 10/10! Would highly recommend to anyone!

A wonderful one night stay. Very nice accommodations and extremely convenient if you’re taking a boat cruise of Loch Ness and to Urquardt Castle.

Warm, friendly welcome following helpful pre-arrival communication re the restaurant and food options. We had a lovely stay at this property, our first time at Loch Ness and most eager for it not to be our last! Cosy lounges where we enjoyed platters of smoked salmon, white wine and cheeses paired with whiskey all in front of a roaring fire. Perfect! Comfy beds, lots of hot water and a delicious breakfast all topped off with outstanding customer service, nothing too was much trouble.

Here’s the updated review, revised to reflect your clarifications and stay within the 1500-character limit: Misleading and Not Worth the Price My wife and I stayed at the Loch Ness Lodge, and it fell well short of expectations—especially at over $700 CAD per night. While our room offered a view of Loch Ness, the property is not on the lake as the photos suggest. There’s a dried-up pond in front, and to even get near the lake, you must cross a double-lane road with a 60 mph speed limit. Once there, you’re faced with a barrier—there’s no actual lake access. The location is very misleading, especially for a property marketed as a luxury retreat. Amenities are severely lacking. Breakfast is included, but there’s no other dining (or even a real bar). Guests are directed to the Clansman Hotel, a sister property (3-4 minute walk away), for lunch and dinner options. Oddly, the Clansman, a much cheaper hotel, offers more amenities, including a bar and restaurant. The Lodge itself lacks these basics and has no front desk staff after 10 p.m. Strangely, the staff often ask if you’d like a cheese board during your stay and keep asking / reminding you that they need a few hours' notice. While the staff were very kind and tried their best with their resources, the overall experience felt more like a two-star stay. Misleading advertising, sparse amenities, and poor value for money made this the most disappointing stop of our trip. We wouldn’t stay here again, even at half the price.

phenomenal staff went out of the way to help make our trip special in anyway they could. Breakfast was outstanding, charcuterie board was also worth ordering. No restaurant for dinner in the hotel with very limited options nearby
