Mark, United Kingdom

Good food and a nice scenic view from our table. Staff was very pleasant.

David, USA

The view from the restaurant is STUNNING! The fact you could use the pool facilities down the road. We also loved the cat! So cute

Janenolan, United Kingdom

Great big mansion directly near the sea. The old common room and entrance area gave us an impression of good old scotish times. Breakfast was great.

Peter, Germany

Friendly staff and a good location especially if like me you love photography @ Scotland my vision blairgowrie and beyond

Mark, United Kingdom

Nice staff. Old but well maintained facility. Good food at dinner, the cod was the best I've ever had.. It was great they allowed us to have breakfast in the dining room before they opened because we had to leave early that morning.We drove to Fort Williams and then kept going up to Arisaig. The beach there was beautiful. The sunset was amazing at the beach and the sunrise as we got out of the hotel was breathtaking. All in all it was a good experience.

Miho, USA

Excellent location. Hotel comfortable and very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was in general very good. The rooms were large and well equipped. The hotel has a lounge area which has an open fire which guests can use to relax in and have a drink from the bar.

Ashleigh, United Kingdom

We stayed 2 nights at the Ballachulish Hotel... the situation is perfect, with incredible views. You reach a lot of different “key” places in a short time. The hotel itself is full of charm, in an old victorian building. The room was very comfortable, clean and calm. The breakfast is really delicious.

The room had nothing to do at all with the pictures, very oldfashioned and not well preserved. The bathroom as well. The guests above us woke up at 5.30am and kept walking for almost two hours and the ceiling and floor let us hear every step of their particular marathon, so we couldnt sleep properly. The bed sheets were short so part of the matress remained uncovered.
The location is excellent, just by the loch. The restaurant.

Bedroom decor was a little tired for the price & didn't fit with the traditional ambiance of the hotel. (e.g. water stained bathroom surfaces, messy paint work, main light bulb not working). Some easy fixes could bring the room up to a high standard.

Looking a little tired, could usefully pay a little more attention to detail - room cleaned but left with no loo rolls - just little things - very apologetic and quick to put things right. Ran out of some items at breakfast even though still over 30 minutes of the advertised ‘window’ to go.
Characterful, excellent restaurant, big room, great view, friendly.

I found lower rates online after I booked. I understand but I should have shopped around. I looked up on my phone to search a hotel in the area as I was on a road trip. I enjoyed the history of the area and the location was very good thou.
