really good servicefine viewslovely architecture
i REALLY appreciated the really good service from the waiters. Their attentiveness ensured we were happy, i must say. THE location offered fine views of snow-topped mountains and the loch at the front. I also found the architecture and rich history of the place lovely.
the hot tap got REALLY hot VERY quickly so caution is required.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
decent locationsmall roomunreliable shower
The location was decent. It was close enough to the Glencoe area for convenient travel.
The condition of the hotel is quite concerning. The room I booked turned out to be oddly small, not the 20 m2 advertised, but closer to 10 m2. The shower was a disaster, barely producing anything but hot water. Regulating the temperature was impossible.
