What we offer on a school trip Accommodation
The Loch Ness Inn & Bunkhouse is nestled in the Highland village of Drumnadrochit near the legendary Loch Ness…
All the rooms look out onto the River Coiltie and the rolling hills beyond.
The Bunkhouse is located next to the courtyard, a short walk from our restaurant and bar. The rooms can accommodate groups of up to six persons, however, there are also smaller rooms which can be booked as twin, triple or four bedded rooms. Each room has a separate shower room and WC.
The Bunkhouse can accommodate anybody but it is particularly suited for walkers, cyclists, outdoor adventure enthusiasts, families and large groups.
Each room has been individually designed to compliment the natural surroundings.
The beds have been handcrafted using larch wood from Cromarty Timber by a local artisan.
Each bed has a plug and USB charging point so guests can charge all their devices ready for the next day. There are also reading lights specific to each bunk.
What makes us a great choice for educational groups
The Loch Ness Inn and Bunkhouse is situated in the heart of the Highlands which makes it a perfect base for exploring the north of Scotland. It is on the route of the Great Glen Way, perfectly positioned to complete two days of the walk.

Testimonials
“The rooms were immaculate and perfect for our needs. The shared kitchen area was an amazing twin commercial kitchen for those wishing to explore the self catering element. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the service great. The staff are friendly and helpful, even printing off little guides with things to do”
