Lovat Hotel

The Lovat stands on the site of Kilwhimen Barracks, one of four built in 1718. The west curtain wall of the old fort, 34 metres long by 4 metres high in some places, still stands in the hotel grounds and the monument is of national importance as the remains of one of the four Hanoverian forts built to pacify the highlanders after the 1715 and 1719 Jacobite uprisings.

The Lovat is the only 4 star hotel in Loch Ness. This award winning eco-conscious hotel is a beautiful Victorian building located in the loch-side village of Fort Augustus, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. We offer excellent accommodation and unforgettable Loch Ness views.

From The Garden Rooms to the Grand Master Bedroom, each one of our 28 bedrooms are designed to offer 4 star comfort. Choose from the more traditional or more modern interiors, many with fine views over the surrounding hills, village and towards Loch Ness.

All rooms benefit from complimentary WiFi and modern amenities.

Our Garden Rooms are perfect for those travelling with pets as each bedroom has its own privately enclosed garden space.

The Brasserie is a dining hot spot in Fort Augustus, well regarded by those looking to have a more romantic meal, some time with friends or even dinner with their dog. The emphasis is on good quality produce, carefully created menus and non-intrusive yet attentive service from our team who are on hand to discuss the ingredients, explain the dishes and advise on allergens.

Our vintage style bar features more than 100 single malts, champagne by the glass, over 50 Scottish gins, cocktails, craft beers and carefully selected wines. By day it is a great place to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon tea and by night it is the perfect place to unwind.
