“Beer Festival was great!”

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed in the family room (suitable for 2 adults, 2 children) for one night during the hotels annual beer festival in 2005. Excellent food (both dinner and breakfast), huge selection of beers and ciders, live jazz in the bar, and the kids slept through it all upstairs! Did some sightseeing around Drumnadrochit, boat trip on Loch Ness, visited Fort Augustus and Inverness. A really nice short break.

“Fantastic Food & Hospitality”

Benleva Hotel

2/2 found this review helpful

Sleeping accomodation is basic however our room was spotless. The real highlight was the great fresh food served daily (we ate nowhere else) and the friendly staff. We sampled an array of wines and spirits in the bar which again was very welcoming, Definitely going back in October as we had an excellent time.
P.S Cracking breakfasts !

Stayed at the Benleva in August 2005 and found it to be a great place to stay. Good food,good location and the bar has a good atmosphere.There was a mixture of overseas guests and locals enjoying a drink in the evening.

“Great beer, great food!”

Benleva Hotel

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed here for a night on a biking holiday on the Great Glen Way.

Benleva was a much welcomed stopping point, with clean, comfortable and functional rooms. We had several pints of local beer, which we'd highly recommend, and a great meal in the lounge whilst we defrosted in front of the fire.

Breakfast was lovely- and certainly set me up for the day!

Would thoroughly recommend Benleva if you're in the area- the guys who run the place were very welcoming and helpful.

Great value for money.

Lovely old building serving excellent food by the fire in the lounge. My boyfriend enjoyed the local beers, I was just delighted to find somewhere so good that was open all year as most places round here seem to be closed. We'll be back soon.
