Pros:

네스호 바로 옆에 위치. Fort Augustus 중심부에서 약간 벗어나 있지만, 산책삼아 읍내 중심까지 산책하기 좋은 거리. 도로로 산책하지 말고, 산책로로 가면 읍내까지 금방 도착합니다. 가격 대비 괜찮은 듯. 조식은 평범한 스코티쉬 아침 식사. 읍내 중심의 숙소도 좋지만, 여기도 나쁘지 않아요. 직원들이 몇명 없어도 잘 응대 해줍니다.

Cons:

Fort Augustus 읍내 중심부에서 10-15분 산책 거리. 산책 좋아하면 차라리 여기가 낫습니다

Great location with the potential to be a great hotel but needs work
Pros:

Quiet location, lovely old building and very clean and well maintained. Bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. Best omelette I have ever tasted.

Cons:

It felt like the owners were not very experienced in the hospitality business. We didn’t feel very welcomed on arrival. We were told check in was 3pm and we had to show them that it said 2.30 on booking.com. We felt a bit of a nuisance. Only two staff around to run the restaurant and bar which meant long wait times. The superior room was no better than the standard, in fact the bed was smaller. Based on the restaurant pictures we expected to be right next to the loch but we were a fair distance away.
