The Lock Ness Guest House check-in was “contact free,” with us given a code to get in the front door, and then once in picking up our key for the room assigned. However we arrived early, and wanted to store our luggage somewhere other than the car, as we were going somewhere else until actual check-in. We then had a very positive interaction with one of the staff, who came out to greet us, and agreed to let us leave our bags there in the common area, inside the locked/coded door. This gave us a sense of security and comfort. While they did not have an accessible room, they did place us on the first floor, and with a room that gave us enough room to move around in, including a comfortably sized bathroom that worked well enough for our needs (some mobility issues, using either a cane or a walker, depending on the circumstances). While the halls going to/from the common area had a couple of tight turns, with doors, they were flat enough, and opened easily enough, to not be an issue. The common room itself, where the guests had breakfast, was generously open and easy to move around in. Our room was solid, basic comfort, which was all we needed. While there was enough parking for all the guests, the designated handicapped parking space was on patch of river rocks, which made actually walking on difficult. While I would NOT recommend the Loch Ness Guest House to any one requiring a wheelchair, it did work well enough for us with a walker/cane.

Self self B&B from start to finish
I had an email the day before with the door code and my room number. I never saw a staff member until breakfast (see below). On the plus side, a spacious, well equipped room with a comfortable bed. However, the old sash windows made it noisy from the traffic in front (request a room at the back). Traffic does disappear at night but starts early in the morning. Lovely thick, lined curtains but they didn't reach across the window. The breakfast was a disaster. A nice enough continental buffet but the staff member was half an hour late; everyone sat around waiting. Then not a word when they arrived, forget "I'm sorry", there wasn't even a good morning. Guests were somehow invisible and breakfast was a process to get through. Some staff training needed I think. I never had any interaction with a staff member my whole stay. Weird.

Property was lovely but the bed is very hard. Needs a new mattress or a Mattress Topper. It’s a very small room but was okay just for 1 night. Wouldn’t recommend any longer. Very noisy when other guests are going to and from there rooms. Expedia said there is a lift. No lift stairs only to get up top.

Great stay
Extremely clean and well organized We did not receive an email regarding check in procedures, but the phone number provided at the front door connected us to someone who immediately informed us of all the details we needed. Really liked the self serve continental breakfast but would have appreciated some fresh fruit. Would definitely stay here again

Lovely guest house in convenient location
Overall very good experience and would recommend. Lovely large premises, warm rooms ensuite and complimentary continental breakfast, which was appreciated. Check in and out times were not as advertised on hotels.com. We marked low in cleanliness as the bathroom blind was moldy and we couldn't get the window to stay open in bathroom resulting in getting whacked with moldy blind repeatedly. Would still recommend overall.
