Loch Ness Guest House

自助入住。類似airbnb的感覺。

Be careful as the rooms can be VERY tiny (see photo as half the room is a slanted ceiling)and greatly over priced. The website advertises apartment style rooms but what we got was small, cramped, and mediocre in quality for the price. Our most significant issue was that dealing with the site manager (Martin) was greatly frustrating. There was poor communication in our room booking (we had three rooms) even when we had a confirmation. Our arrival was met with rudeness and disinterested in professional service. At 5 pm the shops close. If you come to Fort Augustus, come for the day and stay in another nearby location.

Where Is Everybody? Somewhat disappointing. No one was there to check us in of inquire about our needs. Kind of eerie to stay at a hotel and not see anybody else (employees or guests) during our stay. Plus there was no Highland Cattle plush in our room as their web-site pictures suggest. Otherwise, a comfortable room that was clean and well-maintained.

Perfect for our travels Loved our stay at a great location and property. Check in via email went smoothly. Continental breakfast was more than adequate for our day’s journey.

Pros: sheets and towels were clean. instructions for getting checked in /out were easy to follow, and common area appeared comfortable. Cons: bathroom sink had toothpaste in the basin, shower floor had hair on it, floors were dirty with debris and corners of floor had lots of dirt and dust gathered there, walls had stains and scuffs in the paint, bed was hard, wobbly, and loud when you sat down. Some of the lamps didn’t work (had to move a different lamp to the bedside table. Walls are paper thin and I could hear the neighbor upstairs snoring all night. Parking was horrible (lot way too small). Breakfast offerings very basic.

Everything about this property was great with 2 exceptions. If you are looking for a comfortable bed after a long day of travel/sightseeing, this would not be the place. I am not a picky person but our bed was hard as a rock and I woke up with an aching shoulder and back. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location but this establishment would do well to get some new mattresses if anything, for the comfort of their tired guests. The second issue was the parking. They have a parking lot, yes but after arriving late one evening, we were forced to park in a handicap spot because there was nothing else available. Shower pressure is fantastic and the backyard view of the mountains is beautiful.
