From moment we arrived: warm and genuine welcome by front desk staff, who was polite and professional. Room & bathroom: spotless & comfortable w/ beautiful views overlooking Loch Ness. Breakfast: great variety of well resented and all fresh options. Staff was professional & courteous. Highlight was Tasting sampler dinner, which was truly a unique & memorable experience. The entire dinner staff (incl. manager) were polite & always attentive. Every course showed wonderful creativity w/ high-quality ingredients that perfectly balanced flavor and presentation. Overall, stay was memorable from start to finish w/ excellent service, a relaxing atmosphere, and an exceptional dining experience. We’ll definitely return to The Lovat on our next visit to the Highlands. Thanks,

A very special stay for 2 nights. Arrived early, room ready with lovely warm welcome and warming toddy. In a quiet spot but just a few minutes walk to the locks and a few more to the southern point of Loch Ness. Truly wonderful breakfasts and excellent coffee served in a lovely setting. Our meal in the restaurant was superb, wonderful staff. Never to be forgotten stay. Excellent wheelchair accessible room. Thank you for a special stay.

Doing our usual, we packed up camping a day early and booked a hotel for the last night. It was The Lovat this time and it did not disappoint. On arrival we were served a hot toddy like we’ve never had before (still would like the recipe if any staff are reading this, please!), the room was lovely with a rising TV at the end of the bed! Then there was the food. We booked for dinner, bed and breakfast and didn’t realise the dinner was a nine course taster menu! We were a little daunted by this as we’re not big eaters, but, being a taster menu, were assured that it sounded a lot more than it was. We can confirm, we came away full, but not uncomfortable. And the food was certainly worthy of its awards, this is also true of the breakfast. All in all, a very nice stay and perfect end to our holiday, would highly recommend!

We were in Fort Augustus and wanted to look for a nice breakfast place. So glad we decided on Lovat. Besides choice of hot items, there’s also a selection of continental breakfast items. We had the Scottish Breakfast and the smoked salmon with scrambled egg. I also like how the menu was carefully thought through from gluten free cereals to choices of fresh juices to kombucha. A most delicious and enjoyable breakfast with quality produce. Kudos to the chef and team. I would also like to commend Aaquib who was most pleasant in attending to my queries. Also compliments to the service team members Eloise, Roberto, Emma, Stuart and Jessica. The ambience for the breakfast room was cosy, perfect for enjoying a leisurely breakfast while on your holiday. There’s ample parking spaces outside the hotel.

A grand hotel with genuine old-style charm from the lovely welcome at reception by Taylor, to its music room and drawing room. Our room was excellent, albeit slightly compact, with excellent fittings and tremendous ambience. The dining room served outstanding food, and all staff were friendly with underlying professionalism. Had free on-site parking. Very highly recommended.
