We never received the code for the lock box to get our key, so had to pay to book somewhere else last minute. Even 1 hour before arrival we had not received it (this was in the evening and no one was available to speak with, not in person or on the phone after many attempts at calling). Hotel.com ultimately refunded as. Disappointing to say the least!

The lochness gatehouse was fine for a stop over on our way to Isle of Skye. The check in process could be improved. We had to call the owner, Martin when we arrived, but do not have access to calling as we’re from North America. He is not on WhatsApp to text either. There isn’t a ton of dinner options around, just be aware! Walls in the room could use a good wipe down and the pillows were quite hard. There was quite a bit of noise from the surrounding rooms, talking and TV’s. Fine enough for a stop over, wouldn’t book for a multiple night stay! In

We had two rooms. One was great overlooking the canal, unfortunately the other was less so with very limited headroom, overlooking the car park, yet we paid the same amount for both rooms.

Great little Stay

I booked 48 hours before and I was concerned how I would gain entry. It went smoothly when we asked the local pub what we were to do. We loved our stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was immaculate. We would reccommend the place.

Really enjoyed our stay. Martin was very responsive and made things easy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the property well maintained. If I were to suggest anything to make the stay better in the future, it would be thicker, more substantial pillows.
