Well I cant fault the hotel location looks amazing, however i didnt even get past the booking due to the biggit minded female who offered me a price and then made me feel uncomfortable due to the fact im gay, with this she then raised the price of the room. If its a small minded/prejudice enviroment to visit then this... More

Our stay at the Old Pier House was both pleasant and interesting. We were welcomed by Jenny and her two dogs and three horses who are free to roam the grounds right on the edge of Loch Ness. Our room was cozy and breakfast was plentiful. We enjoyed the lounge before a crackling fire and Jenny gave us great advise... More

On another trip to Fort Augustus (a must on a tour through the highlands). I usually camp but this time I arrived I actually didn't fancy fighting off the midgies (nightmare during July/August) so I randomly spotted a B&B sign which I hadn't noticed before, so we tried on the off change. At first I was extremely warey as it... More

Lovely house, great scenery and welcoming host. Even the weather was perfect and the children really enjoyed boating on the private lochan. Many thanks alos for the recommendation to visit The Boathouse restaurant which was also excellent for families

Absolutely stunning location - on the shores of Loch Ness with beautiful views up, down & across. Jennie MacKenzie was brilliant; managed to book us in to the boathouse restaurant ( also highly recommended). We arrived ( five of us) after a hard day's cycling ( Lands End to J'Groats) to discover this haven of tranquility. Would definitely stay here... More

We have now spent two weeks (2 separate visits) at Old Pier House & I cannot recommend it highly enough. Jenny MacKenzie is just lovely, a real character & so hospitable. So is her grandson & all her family (including two dogs, 3 horses & a few Highland cattle). Her lodges are very comfortable, her camping facilities are excellent, with... More

I'm part of a biker group who have visited several occasions now. This was my second visit and I found Jenny the owner as welcoming as before. Jenny is such a lovely lady, very accommodating, and makes you feel at home. When you stay here you feel like one of the family. The B&B is located right by the side... More

Mowing the lawn were Jenny's three beautiful horses. and a warm welcome from the resident dogs. . Spectacular is all I can say. The weather sadly had turned... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Welcome to Old Pier House, a Highland farmhouse on the shores of Loch Ness, near the pretty village of Fort Augustus. We offer bed and breakfast in the main house open from April to October and self-catering facilities in our Loch Ness Log Cabins which are open all year round. This is a very private location on a peninsula in Loch Ness with stunning loch and mountain views yet only a ten minute walk or a two minute drive from the centre of the village. Located in the heart of the Highlands we are ideally situated as a central base for your Scottish touring holiday. We welcome walkers, cyclists, canoeists, horses and camping groups. There is plenty of parking and storage space. The 125 year old house with magnificent views has been extended to provide comfortable en-suite ground floor bedrooms, sitting rooms with log fires and a large bright breakfast room with superb views. Originally the Old Pier House was the end of the line for the West Highland Railway where big paddle steamers carried timber, cattle and people up the loch to Inverness. The old pier still remains and provides wonderful photo opportunities, a great picnic location and moorings for small boats. We have friendly Highland cattle and ponies that graze naturally on the heather hills, fields and surrounding woodlands. We speak fluent Gaelic, French, German, Italian and Spanish. ... more   less
