Pros:

Carina dall’esterno,colazione buona

Cons:

Avrebbe davvero bisogno di un restyling,togliere tutta quella moquette e stoffa alle pareti,sarebbe una affascinante struttura se non avesse quei materiali che accumulano troppa polvere.

Pros:

Hôtel vieillot c'est très kitch avec de la moquette dans les chambres. On se croirait dans un ancien manoir écossais, c'est bien placé. Pour 1 nuit ça va. C'est propre et le personnel est aimable

Cons:

Mal isolé, salle de bain très vieille la douche est difficile à régler

Prima hotel in een nostalgische plek
Pros:

Prima locatie in een fijn dorpje aan Loch Ness. Fijne plek met prima ontbijt.

Cons:

Het pand - net als Nessie Land dat er naast ligt - is enigszins vervallen; toe aan een opknapbeurt.

Restaurant was nog niet geopend (begin Mei), door personeelstekort. Het zag er een fantastische ruimte uit

Misleading photos and absolutely no view of Loch Ness
Pros:

Checking out as we dumped the keys and ran.

Cons:

Everything. Firstly the restaurant and bar only open if a. Tour bus comes in. No log fire. Very uncomfortable beds and room was on a slop. We were there for 2 days and no paper cups were replaced. Overall not ideal.

Good location but a bit run down.0
Pros:

Good location for NC500. Nice carpets and good showers!

Cons:

Images on advertising deceive this is a run down hotel and needs attention. Musty smell throughout. No bar and no restaurant available in May. I couldn't find warning on this website but staff told me it was there! Difficulty contacting hotel as no full time receptionist. Poor value for money I wouldn't stay here again.

It smelt horrible in the rooms, all our clothes smelt like the hotel.
Pros:

Nothing really. Breakfast was okay.

Cons:

The hotel needs an update, very old, the door handle in the bathroom couldn’t be opened from the inside only the outside. No restaurant or bar at the hotel to sit and relax at. The hotel stunk like old furniture. Beds are very uncomfortable and the pillows. We only stayed 1 night out of 2 nights as we could not have stayed another night

Les belles images du site web ne reflètent pas la réalité. Nous avons été très déçus !
Cons:

Chambres et salles de bain glacées, le radiateur d’appoint ne fonctionnait pas SDb pas propres. Personnel très désagréable. Malgré la réservation d’une table pour le dîner au soir de notre arrivée, le resto et le bar étaient fermés et rien n’était prévu à la place. Petit déjeuner à peine mangeable.

Alojamiento muy bien ubicado cerca de Loch Ness e Inverness.
Pros:

La ubicación cerca de Loch Ness. Ambientación “escocesa”
El desayuno fue bueno y completo.

Cons:

De dos habitaciones, la que daba a la fachada estaba muy bien, pero la que daba a la parte trasera era francamente peor, aunque sí tenía el baño reformado.

Outdated
Pros:

It was central in Drumnadrochit to any Amenities

Cons:

The beds was very uncomfortable and the hotel was very dated.
To price a hotel at £105 it wasn't worth it.
The Bar or Restaurant wasn't open.
Only thing good about it was the breakfast.
Wished I just stayed at home in Inverness Scotland.
