The Experience

Find a lovely guest sitting room with a small library, a bar area with a wood-burner and fabulous loch views, an upstairs snug with local maps, road maps, books and handwritten walking notes. You eat in the dining room, warmed with a fire on cool days. Chef Vanessa’s breakfasts include home-baked breads, homemade jams and marmalade, Arbroath smokies, eggs every which way, a full Scottish, veggie and vegan options.

There are some spiffing walks straight from the door and you can hire bikes locally and have them delivered. Take an alpaca for a walk, swim in the loch, visit waterfalls, play golf or explore magical castles. Return to impeccably decorated bedrooms, three with loch views, one on the ground floor with its own entrance and a little kitchen, all very swish with Noble Isle soaps and lotions.

On balmy evenings have a sundowner in the garden overlooking the sparkling waters of the loch.

Reviews

This was the third time that we had stayed at Foyers Lodge. From the moment that you arrive Anna & Phil make you very welcome. This time we stayed in Room 4 and with its spacious new bathroom and wonderful Loch view, it is quite special. We enjoyed delicious dinners on both nights before relaxing in the bar with coffee and whisky. The breakfasts are generous with a great choice of hot dishes. The garden which overlooks the Loch is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a drink. We came away feeling thoroughly relaxed and could not have asked for more from Anna, Phil and their team.

Julian & Joanna, Trowbridge

We had a wonderful stay at Foyers Lodge. The location is stunning with breathtaking views, the hotel itself is peaceful, beautifully decorated, and full of character. Anna, Phil, and the entire team were incredibly warm, professional, and helpful. We stayed in the executive suite which truly felt like a home away from home—perfectly equipped for a longer stay. The food was outstanding, made from high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and cooked to perfection. Whether relaxing in the cosy library or exploring the local walks, cycle routes or water activities, there’s something for everyone.

Louise, Drumlithie, Stonehaven

Foyers Lodge, a great place in such amazing surroundings! Through its many incarnations, the building has welcomed passing travellers for a very long time and now, through Anna and Phil's wonderful renovations, the Lodge has really come to life, with its relaxed house party feel. A perfect place to chill out for a few days, or as a base for the Central or even the North and West Highlands.

Location

The neighbourhood

Inverness is 20 miles for lots of places to eat, shops, theatre, cinemas and riverside walks. You can get the bus here from Inverness station – just ask the driver to drop you off. Wildlife seekers can look for red squirrels, pine martens, lots of garden birds nearby, ospreys and golden eagles a bit further away. Visit Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns or Culloden Battlefields – all an easy day out.

Local points of interest from Anna Low

  • Foyers Lodge is located on the quieter 'south side' of Loch Ness, with unparalleled golfing, walking, cycling, climbing and fishing opportunities on our doorstop. You’ll be spoilt for choice for things to do during your stay with us.
  • We are surrounded by many beautiful loch-side and forest walks as well as being situated on the South Loch Ness Trail and Loch Ness 360. Walking guides for two popular local loops are available for guests in paper or digital format.
  • The famous Falls of Foyers is just a short walk from the lodge. The 165-ft waterfall is situated on the river Foyers which feeds Loch Ness, and was the inspiration for Robert Burns’ poem 'Lines On The Fall Of Fyers Near Loch-Ness'.
  • Our local distillery is Tomatin, just a 45-minute drive away. Book a tour to learn about the whole production process, from mashing and distilling to maturation, and you'll be able to sample a variety of different expressions of Tomatin.
  • Urquhart Castle on the ‘north’ side of Loch Ness (45-min drive) was once one of Scotland’s largest castles and saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. We also recommend visiting nearby Cawdor Castle and Dunrobin Castle.
  • If you’re planning to do the NC500, why not take the opportunity to visit Loch Ness as part of your trip? We’re ideally located for a relaxing stay either at the beginning or end of your journey.
