It's perfectly positioned in the middle of the village and right next to the canal. The room was modern, clean and everything we needed.

We stayed one night here, passing through to Inverness and then to Skye. The stay was comfortable and clean and very interesting as we got to watch a boat go through the locks. we had a room of 4 bunks, which was perfectly fine. The breakfast at the canal center was good and the area surrounding the town was lovely to explore.

I have been traveling for many years, and I don't think I've ever been as comfortable in a hotel room before. Everything was clean, comfortable, quiet and I felt very safe. Traveling with my family is not easy in Scotland, this was fantastic. We had a full bed and two twin bunks. No cots or rollouts. Local meals were amazing. And the canal was super cool. Highly recommended.

Great location and a comfortable room. Does need to address the tap the continually runs and the shower door that won’t close tightly. But overall, it was a great stay.

Property was clean and in a nice location. Biggest issues: 1. We booked a King bed and it was only a queen. 2. They only provided us with one towel for 2 people 3. There was no way to reach anyone after 5pm. Check in wasn’t even allowed until 430pm. Messaged the property 4 days ago and still no response.

The property was clean check in instructions very clear. The only issue we had is a large group booked all the other rooms and gathered in the hallway outside our door and loudly talked very early. Also the walls are very thin so people leaving or checking in will almost sound like they are in your room.

We stayed one night at Lock Chambers on our way to Inverness. The room was very clean and tidy and check in was straight forward using the code and lockbox. We were able to leave our suitcases in the cafe next door before the check in time which was handy. The room was a little stuffy but there was a fan which helped a bit.

We enjoyed a 1 night stay in room Loch Lochy and would definitely return. The code check in was really simple and the entrance area was fresh and modern. The room itself was even better than the pictures, the finishings and detail were great ans the space itself was very relaxing and benefits from a lovely outdoor terrace with table and chairs. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the lovey views from here with a coffee. This area did have a divider between the other rooms terrace and ours and I think we would have preferred if it was a little higher for privacy, but that’s our own preference and also due to us having our dog with us. Tea and coffee were delicious! During our stay the fire alarm went around 1am and the manager was on the phone and out on site extremely quickly. Great system in place and we appreciated the managers response!
