Description

Description

This boutique hotel is described by its owners as a "Loch side getaway" which belies the careful and high quality renovation undertaken over the last two years to create a smart modern hotel / inn, with stunning views and a high level of relaxed comfort.

Winners of a Green Tourism Silver award and a 2022 Traveller's Choice Trip Advisor award the hotel is a successful and sustainable business.

Location

With stunning views over Loch Ness - arguably the most famous Loch in the world - Foyers sits in a prime Highlands location on the south side of Loch Ness on the Military Road built by General George Wade.

With Inverness only 20 miles to the north and Fort Augustus some 15 miles to the south, the village of Foyers offers unparalleled views over the shores of Loch Ness away from the bustle of the A82 highway on the northern side. Inverness provides access to its international Airport, major station as the gateway to the north of Scotland and junction with the famous NC500 route.

Foyers provides an excellent base for exploring the Highlands with the infamous Culloden Battlefield close to Inverness, Urquhart Castle and the very local Falls of Foyers which can be reached from the path to the rear of the hotel. The area is popular with tourists seeking a calm escape, as well as cyclists, walkers and motorised explorers.
