Great tour! The boat ride was smooth and the crew was very friendly. They do have a bar on the first deck which is enclosed and the second deck is covered but open on the sides. They have sonar running in case Nessie makes an appearance which was fun. The guide gave a great summary of the fish found in the Loch and the research that was being done. He of course also included a short history of Nessie. I grew up reading about Loch Ness, so this was a truly enjoyable experience for me. The views are beautiful and I am very glad that I went on this cruise!

On a cold rainy day, this restaurant is a life saver. A rest from the wet weather as well as serving good food. Tried the scampi and fish and chips and they were great. Price can be on a high side but it's something to be expected when it's a touristic part of town.

This town is deservedly popular. In addition to the spectacular South end of Loch Ness, the locks on the Caledonian Canal and the River Oich the place is full if restaurants and gift shops. If you are driving I'd get there early before the parking lots fill up.

Best delicious fish chips. Batter thin real fish you can taste fresh. Pay by cards. Food ready less than 10 min. Sitting available. Q is long usually.

We were in Fort Augustus for a short visit, and 4 of us stopped for lunch. We found the food and service to be quite good. I think I had steak pie, wife had a veg meal, and two toasties. All hot and delicious.

Such a cute little pub tucked away in the middle of port Augustus. The staff were so kind. When you walk in the menu is in the back wall, you order at the bar and they bring your food. Very fast service. We ordered the battered haddock with chips and the soup of the day which was mushroom. It was absolutely delicious. The battered fish was so light. The soup was incredible. It was a mushroom soup with black pepper. Will be back here next time I’m in Scotland.

This place was so good, the lady who owns it was the friendliest waitress we met on our trip too! The pizza was absolutely amazing, so fresh, light and, crispy, it was honestly perfect. My husband and I both got one to ourselves and each ate the entire thing. We also had a tiramisu cheese cake, which her husband makes by scratch, and we devoured it, i could of just kept eating it! I honestly want to know the recipe because WOW. Id come back in a heartbeat, and would highly recommend this place!

We had a wonderful stay at The Richmond House Hotel. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of town, directly opposite the Loch Ness Caledonian Canal Cruises Centre, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. The host was very kind and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. One of the standout features of the hotel is the Chinese restaurant attached to the property—the food was simply out of this world. Easily one of the best meals we've had on our trip. The hotel also offers free private parking, which was a big plus. Between the great hospitality, excellent location, and amazing food, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended!

For the accommodations: rooms were nice; check-in was easy; and the staff were soooo nice. Perfect location. For the cafe: SO TASTY! Great coffee - you must get a breakfast roll. The cafe has a beautiful patio overlooking a canal and is connected to a great little gift shop.

We stayed one night at the Loch Ness Highland Resort and were very impressed. We arrived late, but the team kindly arranged for our keys, which was a thoughtful touch. The resort has a great layout with lodges of various sizes—ours, the micro lodges, faced the garden and had a lovely patio. Inside, it felt surprisingly spacious, more like a tiny home, with everything you could need: a double bed, bunk bed, small kitchen, indoor shower and toilet, plus seating. The design is modern and well thought out and the location and amenities were excellent. The only small downside was the early 10 am checkout, but that seems to be standard these days.

We had a wonderful experience at this lovely local gift shop near at Loch ness. The service was outstanding — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Thank you for making us feel so valued and for going above and beyond. Highly recommended!

Stayed here for the night while doing the Great Glen Way and I can highly recommend this place. It's conveniently located on the Way itself so you don't have to take a major detour just to get there. They offer rooms of 4- and 6-beds so be aware that you will most likely share a room as there aren't that many in the place, but you can also book the whole room to yourself as you pay per bed. It's an old house converted to a lodge so with that in mind, I would also suggest booking the place in advance to be sure that there will be spaces when you get here. The staff were great, there was only 2 of them when we stayed and they had to cover everything from reception, to bar, to laundry services, but they were managing great. Amenities wise, there is a small bar with some fizzy drinks and a few local beers so it's a modest selection but should cover all your needs. There is a shared kitchen that is open 24/7 with all sorts of appliances and utensils so you should be able to cook for yourself no problem; however, they do also offer dinner and breakfast if you are interested, but I haven't tried them so can't comment on that. The place also offers laundry service for £6 (at the time of visit) and it's quite good, 3 of us managed to get our clothes washed and dried for the morning after leaving them the night before so it's a quick turnaround, which is exactly what you need for a walk. The beds are comfortable and the showers are good, though nothing spectacular but well worth it. I highly recommend this place for a stay if you are travelling and need to stay somewhere in the area.

Seems like this place has changed the name a few times. Ramo's is off the sign. Doesn't matter. We had delicious fish and chips,condiments,and sat along the canal and enjoyed our meal. Perfect, and 8 British pounds cheaper than others there.

Initially we didn’t choose to eat here but finding ourselves stuck in Fort Augustus for the night (there are worse places to be stuck!) we called and booked a table. The restaurant which we thought was in the main centre of Fort Augustus was actually a short walk round the canal path to our surprise with the most beautiful location on the banks of the loch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious with a great mix of traditional and Turkish dishes. We would definitely visit again. It was very busy so I’d recommend booking

By far the best holiday accommodation I have stayed in. The apartments are spacious, exceptionally clean and furnished to a high standard. Additionally, Abbey Holidays’ apartments within the Highland Club are well positioned to take advantage of the building’s exquisite architecture and beautiful scenery. The Highland Club is an ideal base for exploring many of the beautiful areas around the west coast of Scotland whilst the excellent onsite facilities (pool, sauna, and snooker room) provide an excellent place to relax in the evening. Our hosts were friendly and happy to help in anyway they can. I cannot recommend staying here enough.

Now this is a unique gift to bring home. Located in Fort Augustus, this charming little glass blowing shop was amazing. Visiting this shop is not merely shopping but an experience watching glass blowing and creative art. Iceberg Glass Blowing Shop had a live glassblowing demonstration. Watching the skilled artists transform molten glass into exquisite works of art like jewelry is amazing. I’m obsessed. The staff at the shop are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They are eager to share the history and techniques of glassblowing, answering any questions. I bought my mom the cutest earrings. Loved this!

Lovely freshly made waffles with a great selection of ice creams to choose from. I had the cherry ripple, it was delicious, with a subtle cherry taste rather than an overpowering one.

Food at the restaurant is good although a bit pricey. The breakfast was great and included ! As per the rooms, they were a bit outdated. The manager and all the staff were amazing, they were really nice, helpful and always up for a good laugh.
