Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.
