Hotel The Ballachulish Hotel

Ballachulish, Ballachulish, PH49 4JY, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for The Ballachulish Hotel - rated 8 by recent guests.

to get started.

This is an old building and therefore you have to expect problems like wallpaper lifting on exterior walls , and not very modern style rooms however this has got to have been one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed at with a sash window that actually worked very easily, they really take pride in doing the very best with what they are given to work with , I had quite a small standard single room but it came with a 32" TV a (very comfy) 3/4 bed and a whirlpool bath and shower, and although now dated the fixtures have been well looked after. The room was the perfect temperature and stayed like that all night , not like many hotels who turn the heating off at 11 and back on again at 6 and just give you a thick duvet

The hotel has a lounge which was super cosy with a big warm chimney and a cute black cat :) Location is perfect if you have a car to drive around.

I honestly can't think of a thing I didn't enjoy here however the floors are a bit (ok a lot) creaky but as people who stay here are usually up early they go to bed early so after 9pm it is quiet

The only small complaint was the menu, there did not seem to be a big variety of meals your classics as in steak pie /macaroni cheese/gammon steak/lasagna. apart from that everything was good.

Nothing as described. Be aware when Booking your room will not look like the photos. What we were given was not worth anywhere near £100. I asked to move room which the room itself was much better but the bathroom was still nothing as I expected. Very deceiving photos. Was kept awake all night by windows rattling loudly in the wind, ours were closed so unsure where it was coming from. I’ve stayed at their sister hotel, Isles of Glencoe and that was definitely the best of the two.
It’s in a good location if you are climbing or wanting to see the beautiful mountains.

The room looked dated and had practically no sound insulation, we could hear everything what people were saying in the corridor and in the adjacent rooms. Restaurant food was nothing special.
The view from the room was great. The hotel is conveniently located close to major tourist attractions in the area. The main building has cozy decor and a nice facade. The reception staff was friendly and helpful.

not all rooms that you book look like the pictures, so don't expect to get the exact same room you saw. they have 50 rooms that different from one another. I think you should be able to see the room you're booking.
the location is fantastic, and the breakfast and dinner was a nice plus included in the price
