This was a surprise 50th birthday trip to Loch Ness, a place I had always wanted to visit to see the Loch, Urquhart Castle and a red squirrel. My husband planned it all.

We hired a car from Inverness airport and our journey didnt take long. On the approach to Dores we came around a bend to be greated by Loch Ness, stunning! I was just hoping the B&B would be as good!

On arrival at the Pottery House we were greeted by John and although we were a little early welcomed us in, our room was wonderful, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in our room, the en-suite like our bedroom was large and tastefully decorated. Glen greeted us every morning with a superb breakfast and local information topical discussion etc, on our last day the only thing I had not seen was a red squirrel, Glen knowing this kept en eye out and although not up close and personal I eventually got to see the squirrel. Perfect!

I could not fault this little B&B

We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed our stay. Very welcoming hosts, comfortable, clean and warm bedrooms and a fabulous breakfast. The Dores Inn is on the doorstep and serves excellent meals, definitely a wonderful place to stay, we will be back.

Lovely comfy rooms and delicious breakfasts both days

We only stayed one night but could have happily stayed for a week. The attention to detail is stunning; home-made bread and jams at breakfast ( and the best scrambled eggs we had all week!) fresh flowers in the room and at the breakfast table, spotlessly clean, a lovingly kept garden, environmentally friendly ideas...We run a hotel and know the time and effort these touches take. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, the price is excellent value and the location is peaceful and quiet yet well located for exploring the local area. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and obviously run their business with passion. Fantastic place and highly highly recommended!
