The Lovat

The Lovat at Loch Ness is a charming and stylish lakeside hotel. The property has two lovely lounges, even a grand piano, and is equipped with an elevator — a thoughtful touch. Our room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight: besides the classic Highland Breakfast, we tried the Kedgeree (smoked haddock with curried rice and poached egg), which was absolutely delicious and a wonderful Scottish surprise. The hotel’s location in Fort Augustus adds to the experience. The town itself is full of character, with the Caledonian Canal locks right at the center — watching the boats rise and fall is like a slow, graceful performance. We only stayed one night but wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the rhythm and atmosphere of this beautiful place.

Great friendly staff, large comfortable room wonderful breakfast. Unfortunately, restaurant not open Sundays/Mondays when we were ther.

The rooms were well acquainted, as well as the lounges. Staff was eager to help and extremely hospitable. Would definitely stay here again if our travels took us that direction.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lovat. The staff was the best of all of Scotland(from Edinburg, Fort Augustus and Isle of Skye). The hotel is beautiful and you can walk a short distance to town. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Everything was absolutely perfect! When the minute we walked through the doors of this lovely hotel and the welcome we received, to the accommodations in the room, to the excellent breakfast in the morning, to our checkout.

Lovely hotel. Great towels but breakfast should always be included
