Best Hotels Near Loch Ness from Inverness
Loch Ness begins just 10 kilometres south of Inverness city centre, making the Highland capital the ideal base for exploring Scotland's most famous loch and its legendary inhabitant Nessie. The A82 road follows the western shore past Urquhart Castle and Drumnadrochit, while boat tours from Inverness and Drumnadrochit offer sonar-equipped Nessie hunts across the deepest and darkest water. Hotels in Inverness combine easy access to Loch Ness with the city's excellent restaurants and position as the gateway to the entire northern Highlands.
