The staff was very helpful and friendly, although at times, did not give very good direction, I.E. if we would be dining in the bar or feasting room. A bit confusion. Not a complaint, just a suggestion. There are still some people who do smoke, it would be very nice to have an open air area, with shelter, for people who do. On our stay the weather was very stormey and a shelter would have been nice as every place was non-smoking.

There was only the location We didnt like anything about the hotel from the outside its very inviting due to the building and location but once inside its a different story from the staff on reception who sat giggling in the corner with no personality at all then given the key to our room with poor directions after leaving reception to find our room it just got worse the climb to our floor was dark dingy and in need of cleaning and redecoration on entering our room it it was a no go area very small with very small shower room we couldnt even pass each outher the bed was very old with not good bedding the window that was supposed to give us veiws was like a prison window we didnt even un pack we left and found beter accomodation we wouldnt reccomend this hotel

Plenty of parking A tired hotel, sealed, airless, hot room. Loo unflushed on arrival. Unwelcoming at breakfast. Sticky tables in bar. Not worth £106 at all. Trades entirely on location and is a bad adverstisment for Scottish tourism.

We found this a beautiful stately hotel, a little way out of Ballachulish which adds to the peace and serenity. There is reasonable on site parking. We had a great room which was quite spacious and, tastefully decorated with a great view of the loch. The hotel has an excellent restaurant with a warm relaxing atmosphere .

Right from checking-in, the staff were very friendly & helpful, answering our few questions immediately. (I think it was Morgana who was the receptionist). The room was an upgrade due to our particular offer, and we were both very impressed, with views of the lochs & mountains. The kingsized bed was as good as a 5* we had stayed in previously.... Luxurious! Bathroom facilities also very good. I could nit-pick about the wardrobe door not fastening, but that would have been all I could have faulted! Overall rating, and lets be honest, it was graded only 3 aa stars, was excellent!! The only minor distraction of the Hotel, was the use of non-Scottish waitresses, who were extremely good, but perhaps other nationalities (I noticed at least three families from France) may have liked the rich sound of the Scottish accent, if only to feel they had visited Scotland properly.

We arrived and our room was nothing like the photos shown. We complained but the lady on the desk was rude and told us the photos shown were the best the hotel had to offer and we could not expect that standard. I must point out we had not booked a standard room but the one above with a loch view. We complained again that night to a different staff member and the next night they moved us to a different room, the difference was incomparable. We were also kept awake until the bar closed at 4am by other patrons. If you're looking for a quiet getaway this is more like staying in a pub! There was also a fight between two drunk hotel guests outside our room.

Beautiful setting, lovely friendly staff. Standard bedrooms are so dated decor wise and not worth the money.

The brochure that prompoted us to do this hotel was pretty much correct. The Lakeside Hotel was very historic. We enjoyed the hotel.The food was good. We wished we had known that they served dinner. The room was good. The parking is on the side, and there is an entrance that had we been aware of where our room was...third floor, we could have saved ourselves a lot of dragging and lugging. Even with the Tom-Tom for guideance, our arrival was facilitated only because it was visible right below the bridge. The Tom-Tom was wrong. This is not the best place we stayed on our trip, but it was memorable, and sadly Scotland lost to England in Rugby at the World Cup,

Staffs are very very polite, friendly and courteous. The hotel is generally well maintained, superb location, photographer's heaven I should say. The bistro restaurant offers excellent food. Facilities need attention, especially the spa in the toilet of room 108.

The view from the dining room was very good and the food excellent. Room did not have any view except the wall of adjacent building . I had booked with Daily Mail coupons but felt the charge too high (£97.95) which was supposed to be half price . I gave the 4 coupons to the reception as instructed. Overall I was disappointed and would be hesitant to visit in future.

The food and service in dining room was good. Very pleasant and helpful waiter and waitress. Lovely lounge with spectacular views. Beautiful view from bedroom. No one at reception - eventually had to go looking for her.Apparently it was her meal time! No apology given. Bathroom in bedroom was very shabby - bath/shower tiles extremely grubby. We stayed in this hotel about 6 years ago and it was very comfortable and great value for money, but not now.
