First of all, the name of the property on this TripAdvisor listing is incorrectly titled "Loch Ness Gate House" when it should be "Loch Ness Guest House." Hopefully that can be fixed so people can find it. This is a quirky little property in the extremely quaint Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness. It feels like a cross between a B&B and an AirBnB. Door code gets sent by email before your arrival so you can let yourself into the building and go to your unlocked room, which has the room keys on the bed. Yet they offer a decent continental breakfast in the morning (get there early for best selections!). Rooms were nothing fancy, but very comfortable. We slept very well. The property is a very short walk into "town", which is arrayed along the Caledonian Canal and its locks, and which is home to a couple of pubs offering a good dinner when you get hungry. We were in Fort Augustus because we were making a short venture into the Scottish Highlands. We wanted to see Loch Ness and take a short tour boat cruise, and Fort Augustus offered a good chance to do that without driving all the way to Inverness. There aren't a lot of lodging options nearby, and we were very happy with the quality and value of our stay of the Loch Ness Guest House.
