Reviews of The Lovat, Loch Ness 4 stars

THe Lovat was perfect, we were greeted with 'cold' toddies as it was pretty warm out. The staff was friendly, the rooms were perfect, everything we thought out and breakfast was the best we had on our journey. Hope to go back some day and spent more time.

Midges and that was no fault of The Lovat. We tried to take advantage of the grounds but were getting eaten alive. Take midge repellent if going in the summer!

Location with the views. The complimentary Scottish tradition of cookies was an unexpected and surprising gift. The toiletries were good.

Not you fault but travel to and from Skye was long.

I cannot justify the breakfast as I eat very little in the morning. Room facilities were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner which was well balanced.

Breakfast was very good.

The room (18) was terribly noisy because there is a generetor nearby on from 7:15 AM till late in the evening. The hotel was not full, how is possible to assign a noisy room when you have others available?

Room had no AC and the windows did not have screens. It would have been nice to have screens to prevent insects from entering.

We stayed in one of the garden rooms apart from the main hotel which gave us an outdoor table and chairs which we enjoyed for a takeaway lunch and relaxing with tea as well as space to load and unload bicycles. Garden rooms are not large, but very well appointed and comfortable. Staff are friendly and attentive and food is delicious. For cyclists, there is a secure (shelter locks plus racks to lock bikes to) purpose built shelter with charging points for e-bikes.

We enjoyed the high touch, intentional experience but some may think it fussy.

Excellent location, quite and peaceful. We Had a garden room with little private outside seating area. Ideal for smokers. Very clean rooms. Staff were excellent.

Quiet, the hotel lobby was gorgeous our room was not in the main hotel which was fine it made access easier to the car for luggage and it was very peaceful.

No dislikes

Gem in very small and cozy Fort Augustus. Facilities and the building itself create warm atmosphere and bring you a feeling of Scot’s coorie. Unexpectedly, the restaurant of the place turned to be haute cuisine experience with great cooking skills of chef, taste of local products and great wine pairing. Loved it! Loved Lov-at:)

I received an email from Mia late morning confirming our stay and arrival time. She also made us dinner reservations. Once we arrived we were greeted with hot toddies in the sitting room. Mia brought us up to our beautiful room a bit later where we had a great view of Loch Ness. We later had an absolutely amazing dinner with exceptional service. I can't say enough about The Lovat and highly recommend you book your stay here!

Location!

The location was perfect to walk around and to get to our Loch Ness cruise. The breakfast was wonderful! Nothing was missing. The staff were kind and welcoming. The room had everything you needed from a fan, umbrella, and a yoga mat! Perfect

My only suggestion would be some sort of blackout covering for the windows. I had a sleep mask and that doesn’t bother me at all but some people need it completely dark to sleep. Just a suggestion, my sleep was perfect!

Cosy hotel to enjoy the taste of the scottish cottages. Rooms are fully equiped and comfortable. Very clean and quiet, and staff is adorable. Reading room with the fire place to enjoy a glass of whiskey. Breakfast was delicious.

I would have appreciated to have the chance to dine ‘a la carte’ in the restaurant.

We were in the rooms away from the main house but they were fine if a little snugger than expected. The truly amazing thing was the food - omg you have to eat here! I could not believe how incredible the meal was - we have had the good fortune to eat in several top restaurants around the world and this was easily on a par with the best of them! Everyone needs to go try this food even if you don’t stay in the hotel.

Nothing stands out- it’s well located, plenty of parking and rooms were fine. Bathrooms were actually really good - bedroom area was small and perhaps could do with a makeover. Nothing wrong, just a bit bland

Nice, spacious comfortable room. General ambiance of hotel and public rooms. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast with an innovative menu.

Sad to have missed the restaurant dinner experience as it is only open 5 of 7 days

Staff were great particularly Mia on reception.

Overpriced
