Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Craigdarroch Hotel offers guests amazing views of Loch Ness, particularly enjoyed from the seating/dining area, bar garden, and front-facing rooms, while others appreciated the forest view rooms. The rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable beds, and some feature luxurious decor. Guests found the location quiet and peaceful, within a reasonable walk to the Falls of Foyers; though some have noted that the hotel could use some freshening up. Dinner, especially the set menu and full Scottish breakfast, is a highlight, with some guests seated by the window to maximize the Loch Ness view.

Satisfactory stay with minor issues

The room size felt generous. It included glass water bottles, which I appreciated. The staff were friendly, and I found the restaurant provided great food. Breakfast also offered a good selection.
there were some issues. I noticed misting in some window panes in my room. The sealant around the basin plug hole in the downstairs ladies' toilet looked quite mouldy.

amazing viewquality toiletriesprompt servicedated roomnoticeable noiseundercooked item
the view of the surrounding area was quite amazing. the provided toiletries were of good quality. (i liked the shampoo) the staff addressed my requests promptly.
the room felt somewhat dated and could use some refurbishment. the noise from the nearby road was noticeable, especially during the morning. the breakfast lacked variety and some items seemed undercooked.
