The Ballachulish Hotel  

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.

The hotel was clean ans tidy, the majority of the staff were approachable and friendly, the food was excellent and the location was good,

it was great to have such a cosy living room and library. We really liked the antique books of the hotel lounge, the staf wages book in particular.

We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the lovely food. Staff informed us about the firework display and were very helpful.

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 .

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

Charming rooms

Iconic and historic hotel with wonderful views and location, providing great value. Staff were very friendly and attentive, the food local and prepared to a high standard. The wild venison was the best we've had. Wine list was short yet more than adequate and combined decent quality with sensible pricing. The bar was comfortable and well stocked yet despite having an array of tap and bottled lager from around the world lacked a real ale/scottish micro-brew (even bottled) which if I'm being picky would have been nice. A lovely weekend and yes, we'll be back.

Great comfortable hotel.with friendly staff.

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,

lovely location
