Manager is amazing!!! Indeed he’s undoubtedly the best thing about the hotel and it was lovely to meet him. He worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had everything they needed from reception to bar to maintenance! Great sense of humor, a real asset! However the hotel itself is in dire need of updating! The food was good and the atmosphere lovely. But the shower was very frugal with the water, the bathroom tiny and the room compact. It just needs a bit of tlc and money spent on it to turn it into a true gem.

Dated decor. No plug for sink! No radiator control as TRV broken off some time ago as the dust shows. So the room was cold as the stop valve was screwed shut. TV doesn’t work. No water pressure to shower though sink was fine at taps. Poor quality mattress.

Amazing location, unbeatable loch views. Onky downside we had was promised breakfast in bar so we could have dog with us, this wasnt set up. When i approaches staff they said they would get this sorted asap but forgot about us. We ended up putting dog in car and having breakfast in main dinning room, but by this point bread, juice and cereal was limited. Felt this put a but of a dampner on the stay. Perhaps two servers on at breakfast woukd have been helpful.

A wonderful time!

My friend and I stayed at Loch Maree Hotel for a night before we went over to the Isle of Skye and our experience was amazing! Duncan was so sweet and funny and made the stay memorable. The views of the lake are beautiful and everyone else staying at the hotel were friendly and loved to chat. The food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast - both great. I wish we could have stayed longer! Next time I'll have to bring a boat that's not filled with water to explore the lake.

Didn’t appreciate the plumbing in our room (shower useless) and there were no handrails for getting in and out of the bath, very dangerous for a couple of oldies.

A great place to escape a storm

It was a last minute booking for us to escape storm Floris and we're so pleased we found this place. Wonderful views from the room and fantastic food. We had haggis to start (which wasn't on the menu but they did it for us anyway) and Sea Bass and Lamb Shank which were both excellent.

This is essentially a B&B being labelled as a hotel. Staff were thin on the ground, but the food was fine. The family room was disappointing with no proper shower facility and tired decor.

A beautiful hotel with grand high ceilings and an eccentric historical townhouse charm. Perfectly located right on the shore of Loch Maree, with private lake access. Our room was peaceful and quiet, offering breathtaking views of the lake. The host was exceptionally friendly, warm and accommodating, adding a welcoming atmosphere to both the hotel and its cosy bar. He went out of his way to meet our requests, making us feel truly cared for. Easily our best experience on the NC500.

It was way overpriced, everything felt & appeared run down. On entering the room the bed appeared unmade, the towels were worn out and ripped as soon as used. There was a strong smell of cigarettes through the evening coming in the room. We left the room at 6.30am the next morning because we just had to get out. One positive which didn't make up for the negatives was the view of the Loch from the room - through filthy windows !

Worth it for the views

Loch Maree was a fabulous location. Staff were helpful breakfast was good. Dining room had limited space. Views were amazing. This hotel needed a few more staff and some updating. It was though quite remote and this would be a challenge. In all though nice place to stay.

Fabulous, historic, and beautiful hotel!

The hotel had such charm and I am amazed with the three staff members we chatted with that was keeping up the whole place. This hotel cannot be compared to modern hotels these days; and I wouldn't want to. The Lock Maree has a bar and restaurant on site; which I would highly recommend having dinner and breakfast. The staff was so nice and helpful. We walked the grounds in the afternoon and had such a lovely, quiet, peaceful time at the hotel. Highly recommend and I can't say much more about this place except you have to stay a night or two at least.
