The Lovat is a family-run hotel in Fort Augustus, Scotland, overlooking Loch Ness, with rooms designed as individual havens that embrace the changing Highland seasons. On site you'll find the destination restaurant Station Road, where menus are built around the shortest possible supply chain, from local farmers and fishermen to the hotel's own kitchen garden. The grounds still hold the west curtain wall of the original 1718 fort, with storyboards around the hotel bringing its history and the surrounding landscape to life. The hotel is just 0.1 miles from the Clansman Centre, making it an easy base for exploring the local area while enjoying warm hospitality and a genuine sense of place in the Scottish Highlands.
