Augustus and Glencoe, causing it to close for over 7 hrs, we found ourselves in need of hotel rooms. Back to The Lovat we went. The prix fixed dinner was delicious. First they sat us down in a lounge/sitting room for "snacks" while we played cards, then we were taken to the dining room for dinner. They presented each course, explaining the preparation, etc. We really enjoyed our experience and the delicious food. Everything was presented beautifully. We stayed in the garden rooms which are a newer addition to the hotel. They had great views. The rooms were clean and they provided goodies in the coffee/tea/refrigerator area. We all really enjoyed our time in Fort Augustus and look forward to visiting The Lovat and Station Road restaurant again.

They offered me a glass of champagne for the birthday. The ambiance was glassy and country chic with a great attention to details. The portions are on the small side as the emphasis is placed on design and presentation of the dish. The lamb was absolutely exquisite.

4.5 Stars for the bar/drinks (we neither ate nor stayed here)…read more The bartenders were both very friendly. Also, they serve real sized drinks here: pouring 35ml of whiskey (unlike so many other places in the UK that pour a paltry 25ml). Also, they not only had a great selection of whiskeys from which to choose, but they also had some recommended whiskey lists which did not disappoint (the Glen Scotia 15 and the Benromach 15 were both big hits with my tastebuds). I am only deducting 1/2 a star for the ambience, because it is nothing special. But, if you want something nice to sip on, and some friendly bartenders to engage with, make your way to Ceilidh Place.

So having taken a family of four to both Ill give you some tips. They are both lovely ways to stay but if you want your kids close and safe while still having a door between you for alone time with your partner stay in the inn. If you plan to make your own meals to save money stay in the bunkhouse. But even if you choose the bunkhouse it's worth paying for a breakfast in the Inn.

I have had way worster experiences and I feel like these reviews are more for the hotel itself rather than just the restaurant itself so I do want to be somewhat fair. With all that being said... I can't confidently recommend the restaurant here. The Caesar salad was literally the only thing that was somewhat edible. I had been in Scotland for almost a week at this point and it was also the first time that I had ever been charged for water. That was something I kinda wished they would have mentioned to us if they were going to do that. That's not cool man. It really comes off as shady. For food I ordered the Seafood Risotto and there was practically no flavor. When I asked my friends how they felt about their dishes, it was unanimous around the table. Maybe the chef just quit the night before and they were trying to make do with what they have and know? It's just weird right? You see the pictures and see how cool The Inch looks inside and out and just figure if they have a restaurant that it's going to have at least "some" form of quality to the food. But there was none to be found unfortunately and you are left just feeling like this place is a tourist trap. So yea can't recommend the food here. Then again it is a small area. Maybe that's just all the people know? It'd be really sad if that was actually the case. My only hope is that the staying there for the night is an actual 5 star experience.

When we checked in the lovely girl came outside to greet us. It was the sweetest hotel check in ever!! Our room was lovely. There's a huge living room with a fireplace that they lit downstairs. That was my favorite place to hang out. There was also chairs outside overlooking the lake and it was so quiet and peaceful at night. And there's a little hike behind the hotels to the waterfall. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The food in the restaurant was superior. They rent out the whole place for weddings and I'm trying to talk my best friend into getting married there it was so great.

The first thought I had approaching the DHC was that old real estate mantra, Location, Location,…read moreLocation. Perched along a rocky beach, the DHC boasts perhaps one of the best hotel views I have ever seenfrom the large picture window in my room, I could see the haunting (and haunted?) ruins of Duntulm castle to the left, a few grazing sheep in the foreground, and an impressive monolith in the center of the hotel's bay. Overhead wheeled graceful gannets and seagulls. Our visit was during July, and we were offered a nature-watching boat trip to spot large basking sharks that are supposedly often visible from the hotel. The weather, however, was no cooperative and the small boat would not brave such choppy waters. Despite this, we were not in the least disappointed by our stay. On the sunnier days, we had a clear view of the Outer Hebrides. During the greyer hours, we comforted ourselves by a real peat fire in the sitting room, and were entertained in the newly renovated bar with smooth malts, local beers, and a few friendly billiard games with salty locals. The DCH also has a restaurant, whose menu features both local seafood and traditional Scottish fare, with a gourmet twist provided by a resident chef (whose name I can't recall). The braised scallops were possibly the best I've ever tasted (as a beach girl from Florida, that's staying a lot!) Breakfast was very large and tasty, though I learned that I am not a fan of black pudding. After breakfast, we were full to the point of discomfort, and had to take a hike on the nearby Quirang walk to feel lighter again. I feel compelled to mention the hotel's staff, as they are not only efficient and attentive, but carry a charmingly wry sense of humor that accompanies most of their interactions. Their easy banter between both themselves and with their guests made us feel right at home. The rooms themselves were spacious, clean and fresh-feeling. On the downside, the interior hallways and carpets are a bit worn and old-looking. I overheard the owner (who is himself an amusing character) discussing plans for updating certain parts of the hotel, so the place may look better presently. On the other hand, with the rugged, isolated, and timeless surroundings and the stiff breeze coming off the Minch, perhaps new and modern are not the qualities that would best suit the DHC.
