When they could not fit…read moreour family in at the B&B Inn for our whole stay they suggested we take a family room in the bunk house for one of our nights. So having taken a family of four to both Ill give you some tips. They are both lovely ways to stay but if you want your kids close and safe while still having a door between you for alone time with your partner stay in the inn. If you plan to make your own meals to save money stay in the bunkhouse. But even if you choose the bunkhouse it's worth paying for a breakfast in the Inn.

The Whitebridge has a long reputation for being a local staple as well as a community support. This comes as no surprise as it is comfortable, traditional (maybe a little eccentric), and features local produce and goods. Built in 1899, it has retained all the charm that visitors to the area might hope for. Our party had several meals there (breakfast and dinner) and found the food and service to be very good. We made certain to book a reservation each evening to be sure we could dine comfortably and found the dining room to be full more often than not. My favorite menu item may be the Angry Stag, a Highland spiced venison burger with applewood smoked chaddar, sriracha mayo, and house-made pickled jalapenos. I can also speak well of their lasagna, which I found to be hearty and filling. The pub is well-stocked with an extensive selection of Scottish whisky, regionally-produced small-batch gins, and local ales. I enjoyed a new-to-me gin (and tonic) each evening I was there. The Whitebridge had just changed hands the week before our arrival (early November 2025) which will, no doubt, influence the feel of the place in the years to come. As the new owners are aware of the place The Whitebridge holds in the area, I imagine that will only be enhanced. Things to know: * The Whitebridge's picturesque location means it is not close to petrol or other services. * Loch Ness is close. Travel time to the southern end (Fort Augustus) is about 20 minutes. About 40 minutes north to Inverness. * The Whitebridge is dog-friendly.

I have had way worster experiences and I feel like these reviews are more for the hotel itself rather than just the restaurant itself so I do want to be somewhat fair. With all that being said... I can't confidently recommend the restaurant here. The Caesar salad was literally the only thing that was somewhat edible. I had been in Scotland for almost a week at this point and it was also the first time that I had ever been charged for water. That was something I kinda wished they would have mentioned to us if they were going to do that. That's not cool man. It really comes off as shady. For food I ordered the Seafood Risotto and there was practically no flavor. When I asked my friends how they felt about their dishes, it was unanimous around the table. Maybe the chef just quit the night before and they were trying to make do with what they have and know? It's just weird right? You see the pictures and see how cool The Inch looks inside and out and just figure if they have a restaurant that it's going to have at least "some" form of quality to the food. But there was none to be found unfortunately and you are left just feeling like this place is a tourist trap. So yea can't recommend the food here. Then again it is a small area. Maybe that's just all the people know? It'd be really sad if that was actually the case. My only hope is that the staying there for the night is an actual 5 star experience.

It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The food in the restaurant was superior.

We were there for over half an hour, and after my parents were given their preliminary order of tea, we essentially became invisible. I might have been more understanding and patient if the restaurant had been busy, but it was a quiet Tuesday evening where not even half the tables were filled and there were numerous waiters and waitresses who didn't seem particularly harried. So we finally got up and left. One of the staff thanked me on my way out and I wanted to say, "For what?" Also, for all the lovely views of the Loch, I couldn't stop my eyes from being drawn to the half-dozen massive flies skittering across the windows. Gross. Disappointed.

They had gift sets but won't sell any alcohol before 10 am. I bought a few bottles and a small souvenir gift set of Isle of Islay single malt whiskey. They did not permit photos to be taken inside the gift shop.

I don't know anyone who's done this and it was across one of the thinnest links to the other side, but I did it. I paddled my surfboard across Loch Ness. Was I scared of "Nessie", the prehistoric monster that supposedly lurks beneath these cold, dark waters? Naw, I even splashed around a bit to see if I got her attention. Nothing. As I figured. My bf thought I was crazy for doing it but I thought he was the crazy one for not. (We're no longer together) I peeled out of my suit, fingers frozen to the bone from the cold, ate a couple more of the fudges and headed back to the hotel to dine and swap Nessie tales with the visitors and proprietors. I didn't have to pay for one drink all night long. But I think I got sick from the venison. The "Drum" hotel was warm, close to the loch, had a small cafe and offered pack lunches to take for walks along the shore. And everybody wanted to hear my Nessie story. I would've made headlines world-wide had I been eaten. "Aye, Robin Z, a brave American lass, eaten by Nessie, how tragic. So what's for dinner? Not venison again, I hope." The lore continues.

This isn't one of their cheap school education tours. We contacted the place ahead of time to make arrangements for a larger bed, multiple beds, anything to help us because we unfortunately are not small people. The place said that EF would have to contact them. I contacted EF twice on this subject well in advance of departure and was told they would make a note for us to be accommodated. We received the world's smallest room with an equally small bed. When I inquired about a different room with other bed options I was informed twi all rooms were the same. After speaking with other guests that is not the case. We found a room with two twin beds. We found a room with a queen and two twins. Our room had wallpaper peeling off. There were large swatches that were dirty. We had no hot water and had to go ask to have it turned on for our room. When we finally got hot water it couldnt decide if it wanted to burn off our skin or freeze us like ice cubes. The room was stifling hot even with the window open and there were only multiple blankets on the bed. No top sheet to use as a blanket. The bathroom floor feels like we are walking on sponges. Not a comforting feeling wondering if you are going to fall through. Everything felt dirty. Though they advertise that they have WIFI, DO NOT plan on it working. For kids away from their parents this is probably okay. For adults that still need to check into work and take care of adult things this was unacceptable. With the exception of the food server Patience, who was very sweet, the rest of the staff was unpleasant and gave off the impression that we were just bothering them. They would interject themselves into private conversations then get mad because we had somehow interrupted them. Left us scratching our heads in bewilderment. Would NEVER stay at this place again. If you have to stay here, avoid room #2. This hotel does not reflect well on EF Go Ahead tours!!!
