“Nestled in North Ballachulish, this historic loch-side hotel strikes me as a comfortable base for exploring the Highlands, especially with its cozy bar dating back to the 1700s. I'm intrigued by the on-site distillery offering gin-making classes, a unique touch for guests seeking hands-on experiences. It might be just the spot for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking for something beyond the typical Highland stay.”

disappointing experience
dusty roommouldy shower
my stay wasn't the best. the small double room i had felt dusty. the bathroom shower showed mould on the tiles. i asked for the fan and shower to be cleaned, but this request was ignored. it just seemed like the high room rate didn't match the stained hallway carpet and potholes in the car park.

Decent location. Some drawbacks

the staff were friendly. the location was convenient for exploring glencoe.
the pod i stayed in felt very cramped. the shower and toilet combination was basically a wet room, it had a musty smell because of a blocked drain. hot water wasn't working for two days.

Fantastic Stay with Great Food
amazing staffwelcome giftbuffet breakfastcozy lounge
The staff were amazing. Paul and Nick were especially cute. They provided great assistance and ensured our stay was wonderful. There was a lovely welcome gift in the room as well as tea, coffee, and cookies. Breakfast offered both buffet and cooked-to-order options. The lounge areas were cozy and comfortable.
The room interiors could benefit from some updating.

My Standard Double Room featured a comfortable bed and blackout curtains for restful sleep, though, the space was a bit compact. The provided toiletries included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, offering convenience for travelers wanting to pack light.
