Within proximity to Loch Ness, the Lovat Arms began its history as a station hotel, but today appeals to travellers arriving in Fort Augustus via a range of transportation modes. Resting adjacent to Kilwhimen Barracks, in the heart of the picturesque Scottish Highlands, the hotel makes for a convenient base for visitors wanting to walk the Telford's Caledonian Canal or the more demanding Corrieyairack Pass. Nearby outdoor activities encompass fishing, horseback riding and golf, while excursions to Loch Ness are popular.
