“ What can we do whilst we are staying with you ? ”
“ What would you recommend ? ”
 
These are questions we get asked every day by our visitors. With this in mind we decided to compile a list of the sights we would visit in the area, or the sporting activities that you can undertake should you like to (or have time to!)
 
Walks in and around the Village.
 
 
Moriston River & Waterfalls 
 
 
 
Everybody knows that we lie just a few minutes stroll away from the most famous stretch of water in the world
To reach it we would recommend that you take a walk down by the Moriston River, this takes just a few minutes where on the way you can take in Thomas Telfords (The architect of the Caledonian Canal) bridge built in 1813 and formerly used as the old road. This bridge spans our famous waterfalls which in any season are spectacular.
 
This walk taking you down alongside the Moriston river which in Gaelic means "River of the Waterfalls" tumbles its way to Loch Ness whilst you return on the walk through woodland to complete the circuit. Mature Scots’s pines and a rich carpet of mosses and ferns make this a delightful and tranquil woodland walk. The old summer house gives a birds eye view of the river and the Telford bridge. 
 
Allow: 30 minutes    Easy Walking
Alltsigh and the Stone Seat
(Following the Great Glen Way)
 
 
 
 
This walk starts by climbing the steep minor road at the rear of the hotel and following the signs for the Great Glen Way which is waymarked to Alltsigh and eventually to Drumnadrochit.
 
The initial steep climb is rewarded with excellent views over Loch Ness and on a clear day through to the Cairngorms and Nevis ranges. Before the path narrows to take you onto a lower track, take a short detour to the Stone Seat viewpoint for extra special views over the Loch.
 
 
The stone seat was built in Victorian times for the ladies of the day to partake in afternoon tea (weather permitting). It is still used today by our guests in the hotel wanting a quiet spot for a picnic or for those people walking the Great Glen Way to take a rest after the steep climb from the village.  Try to spot the Rock Cave shelter before reaching Alltsigh.
 
Allow: 2 hrs (one way)  Moderate Walking
Sron na Muic
 
 
 
 
This route follows again the Great Glen Way however this time in the opposite direction of Fort Augustus. The walk takes you on the high ground of Sron na Muich (snout of the pig in Gaelic).
 
It is a very strenuous walk however the views are spectacular once up on the summit. This route can also be cycled.
 
Allow:     5 hrs return        Strenuous
