The Loch Ness Inn Shortlist*
Drumnadrochit, Inverness-shire
Good Hotel Guide Review
Hikers and cyclists stop for the simple comforts of this ‘friendly’ 160-year-old coaching inn, a ‘busy and bustling’ local gathering place in a village on the Great Glen Way. There are Scottish whiskies and gins, and local real ales in the bar. In the slate-floored restaurant with its wood-burning stove, classic pub dishes and smarter options are on the menu. Throughout, nature paintings add interest. Accommodation is in light and neat bedrooms made homely with wool throws and tweedy cushions, tea and coffee, Scottish toiletries; budget-friendly bunkhouse rooms overlooking the River Coiltie suit groups or a family. Hearty breakfast choices include porridge, eggs Benedict and a ‘full Highland’ or vegetarian.
