Pros: Everything! Fab breakfast, lovely staff! Location location location

Eleanor 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Beautiful room with a Loch view and doctors breakfast.

Cons: Felt the dinner was nice, but a bit overpriced. TV was weirdly on the side wall rather than opposite the bed which made it awkward to watch

Beverly 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Great place to stay, with a great atmosphere and staff.

Pros: I loved the “Scottish” feel, especially the lounge with the log burner and the creaky staircase.

Cons: Considering the restaurant is called Fish, it didn’t have that many fish / seafood items on the menu. It didn’t spoil my stay, but a shame about the one waiter in raggy jeans who pretty much threw my dinner plate down. The other waiters were so professional and smartly dressed.

This place gets everything right, down to the tiny details of creating a great atmosphere.

Pros: Immaculate room and common space with tasteful old world decor. It was a wonderful experience all around and I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an overnight stay with elevated character!

Kate 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Wonderful location at the head of Glen Coe overlooking the loch. our room was lovely and very comfy. Enjoyed sitting in the lounge and the bar staff were very knowledgeable about whisky

Cons: The breakfast was excellent but the restaurant food somewhat overpriced, although very nice

Khai 8/10
Australia 🇦🇺

Pros: Awesome old building right in the centre of dozens of different walks and climbs, great communal area with fire place to relax, restaurant was nice

Cons: Understandable considering the age of the building but the shower had very low pressure and the tub wasn’t as large or usable enough to give it maximum rating.. also may or may not have been pigeons in the roof; I could hear something scuttling around up their (there was no chance of them accessing the room, I could just hear something)

Great place

Pros: Place was great. Only issue is lack of leisure facilities and semi good breakfast. That apart a great place, amazing views and staff were all brilliant.

Cons: Breakfast could have been better but I am not overly keen on buffet breakfasts!!

Gabriela 10/10
Spain 🇪🇸

Excellent

Pros: The location was perfect and the views were amazing. The service from the waiters and staff was outstanding—truly impeccable. Breakfast was very good as well. Overall, the experience was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Cons: The lighting in the room, especially on the dressing table when I'm putting on makeup

Robert 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

would 100% recommend this hotel

Pros: the whole hotel was amazing, food was ok but a little on the expensive side. the bar was great with a huge selection of drinks. The lounge seating area was beautiful, just like being in an old fashion stately home. The surrounding area is so beauty

Cons: dining room was a little bit cold if you were sat by the window, although it was very cold outside at the time.
