About Richmond House Hotel
Richmond House Hotel suits travellers after a straightforward, no-fuss stay near Loch Ness rather than anything overly formal. It's an adults-only hotel on Main Street in Fort Augustus, well placed for those touring the Highlands by car or setting off on foot into the surrounding walking country.
Rooms are en-suite and kept bright, with drinks available in room and free WiFi throughout. Practical extras are covered too, with 24 hour reception, luggage storage, cycle storage and free on-site parking, plus packed lunches for anyone heading out for the day. Downstairs there's a restaurant and a whisky bar serving pub-style food, giving the place a relaxed, casual feel rather than a polished dining scene.
Fort Augustus itself sits at the edge of Loch Ness, and the hotel is handy for fishing, golf, watersports and walking, with further pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby. Spean Bridge lies within reach for those wanting to explore further afield. It's a fair fit for anyone wanting an easy, lochside stopover in the Highlands without expecting luxury.

What guests say
We had a wonderful stay at The Richmond House Hotel. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of town, directly opposite the Loch Ness Caledonian Canal Cruises Centre, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. The host was very kind and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. One of the standout features of the hotel is the Chinese restaurant attached to the property—the food was simply out of this world. Easily one of the best meals we've had on our trip. The hotel also offers free private parking, which was a big plus. Between the great hospitality, excellent location, and amazing food, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended!

We stopped at Richmond House Hotel on a chilly evening, craving Chinese. The hot and sour soup and chowmein were exactly what we wanted—full of flavour and great value for money. Service was quick, and we loved the overall experience.

It is an attractive old world charm offers a wonderful cosy with generous family atmosphere restaurant is steps away from your room offers and so many international food choices. Scottish drinks as well. It is close to Loch Ness cruises and walking distance to all Fort Augustus Scotland. Thank you to family owned hostess!

The room was basic, dated, but ok. The shower was disgusting though; smelled bad and had what appears to be mold. I didn't use it in the end and just washed in the sink. Room 4 really needs a deep clean, twice!
