Loved the led world charm of the hotel. The staff were very pleasant and informative.

Robyn Australia

Great views of the Loch, and walks within a mile of the hotel. Visit Ballachulish Village, and the history of the slate mine.

Patrick United Kingdom

This hotel is gorgeous! Perfect location near Glencoe and as a gateway to Skye. The hotel is historic and spacious and we enjoyed using the lounge area. The room was clean, great wifi, and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast.

Laura United States

All the food was very good and the staff were friendly and professional

Maureen Australia

the hotel is classic. the room is very clean and well-organized. The thing I like the most is the dinner at Fish Restaurant (in hotel). I ordered Tiger Prawn with salad+dessert+apple juice, everything is delicious.

Phailin Thailand

The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We were upgraded to a sea view room which was great - the view was stunning, v comfy bed as well. There was a great selection at breakfast and the evening meal was v good too. The hotel has a guests lounge which we used quite a bit, a nice place to hang out in the evening.
