Welcome to Benleva! - Loch Ness Hotel

The Loch Ness Benleva Hotel is over 300 years old and is a former Church Manse (Minister's residence). We are situated just ½ mile from the centre of Drumnadrochit village, just a short walk from the shores of Loch Ness in approximately an acre of grounds. We have a beautiful tree-lined driveway - including a 400-year-old former hanging-tree - and a large walled garden.
 
At Benleva we aim to offer the finest fresh food together with a fine selection of wines, Scottish real ales and malt whiskies all served in a homely, warm and welcoming atmosphere. We currently have 5 handpumps serving real ales & cider accompanied by our range of over 50 single malt whiskies. We also have 6 recently refurbished en-suite bedrooms including a family room and a four-poster double bedroom, all with excellent views.

A wide range of activites can be found in the Drumnadrochit area such as walking, fishing, golfing, horse riding and of course Monster Hunting! Some of Scotland's finest glens are close at hand and the City of Inverness is just a 20 minute drive away.

Our prices are £35 per person, per night sharing an en-suite twin or double room. We can also offer special deals in the winter and discounts for a stay of 3 nights or more.

Opening Hours
During the winter months we are slightly restricted in our opening times – the bar is open from 3pm – 11pm Monday – Thursday, 3pm – 1am Friday, 12 noon – Midnight Saturday, and 1230pm – 11pm Sunday. From Easter – end of October the bar is open from 12 – 12 every day. Dinner is served every evening, and lunches whenever we are open at lunchtime! We do tend to get very busy so it is always a very good idea to phone ahead to reserve a table for dinner to avoid disappointment.

If you wish to make a booking enquiry please fill out our on-line form, send us an e-mail or telephone (+44) 01456 450080.
