Top Dores Beach Hotel Reviews

Loch Ness Clansman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is right across from Loch Ness. Main level is a gift shop and a small print shop, along with bathrooms for the bus groups that arrive for the Jacobite Boat tours, so it does get very busy during the day. Check-in along with the rooms are on the second level and there is a lift. The bar/restaurant are across from the front desk, with large windows over looking Loch Ness. The dinner menu is awesome and so are the breakfast's. Inverness is only 15-20 min up the road way and is a nice city to walk around. I can’t say enough about the Loch Ness Clansmen Hotel along with its staff."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little place! We had a wonderful experience. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, comfortable and had great amenities. Highly suggest a stay!"

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very close to the busy center of town and right across the street from the river. The room was clean and had more than adequate space for two. The hotel did not provide shampoo, so bring some. The breakfast buffet was filling."

Loch Ness Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Loch Ness Country Hotel was lovely. Our room was quite large, with beautiful views of the gorgeous hotel grounds. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a nice restaurant at the hotel, which is helpful as the hotel is about four miles from the city of Inverness. The only "downside" to staying here is that distance, as you cannot walk out the door and explore the city, but if you want a lovely, relaxing place to stay, you cannot do better!"
