Top Dores Beach Hotel Reviews

Loch Ness Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a unique place beautiful grounds we had the executive bedroom which overlooked the garden . The staff is attentive gentle and nice . The food and breakfast included amazing in its quality and presentation .We absolutely adored. 8 min by car to Inverness city"

Loch Ness Clansman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Leana at the front desk & the bartender were absolutely splendid. Fantastic service, they really went above and beyond to make us comfortable . And WOW what an incredible location!! Clean rooms, well maintained!"

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. They have many resources for the local area. The room was excellent and as described. We plan on returning for future stays."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was fine, clean and functional, though the window doesn’t open so it was a bit stuffy. Also, there is no soundproofing in the walls so you will hear what’s going on in the next room. This is an expensive area and this place is one of the cheaper hotels. The restaurant food was variable. The salmon on pea risotto was very good while the lemon tart was very forgettable. The staff were very good."

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Loch Ness Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at Loch Ness Lodge on the way from Skye to Royal Deeside, two days after getting engaged, and it was exactly the right place to land. Gabriel and the team had been in touch well before we arrived - clear directions, dinner sorted for us next door at The Clansman, and when we walked into our room there was red wine, chocolates and berries waiting with a note. It's a small lodge and it feels like one: quiet, personal, and looked after by people who plainly care about it. The room faced straight down Loch Ness. Waking up to that view with a cup of coffee is the reason you come here. Breakfast the next morning was cooked to order and unhurried, which set us up for Urquhart Castle ten minutes down the road. One practical note for EV drivers: there's no charger on site, so arrive with what you need or top up at Drumnadrochit; the lodge is upfront about this when you ask. Also, the entrance is a sharp turn just before The Clansman if you're coming from the south - worth knowing in the evening light. Warm, beautifully placed, and run with real attention. We'd come back without hesitation."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"the hotel was clean and tidy but needs upgrading in the future like most hotels this age. the hotel is in good location for the town centre. The bedroom was a good size but unable to open any windows. The tv was hard to get local programs and streaming channels. Overall we would stay again as we new the age of the property when we booked."

Loch Ness Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing place to stay. The views were gorgeous and the whole place was so cute! The showers were a little hard to figure out but other than that I would highly recommend this stay! I will definitely be back."

1 Loch Ness Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Washer and dryer were handy. Guy at desk, when he showed up, was a little grumpy."
