Hotel was lovely however the restaurant service was poor, rushed and detracted from our stay. Would not dine in for dinner. The servers rushed customers to clear tables like a fast food restaurant.

3 night break

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely location with plenty of parking available. Breakfast was excellent. Room was clean and the bedroom cleaner was helpful and friendly. The floors are creaky in places as its a old building but this just adds to the charm.

Beautiful spot on Loch Leven

Amazing spot along Loch Leven in Scotland. I stayed here just a night on the road from Loch Lomond into the Highlands. This spot feels historic, without a doubt. There are sitting rooms with gorgeous decor, a wonderfully friendly staff, and a great restaurant. This is one of those spots where you can check in, and just enjoy the space and not worry much about feeling like you need to find food, etc… I spent time before dinner in one of the sitting areas, doing a little work. then enjoyed some fish and chips with fresh, smashed “mushy” peas. And in the morning their breakfast was expansive and filling. I wander along the water and took in views of the loch and bridge. I think if I’m through this part of Scotland again I’d book a room with a view. Definitely would want to stay here again.

A beautiful setting located right on Loch Linnhe/Loch Leven. We stayed for one night on a trip from Inverness to Glasgow. A perfect place to rest, relax and dine. Be prepared to carry your luggage up stairs to your room, no elevator available. The restaurant provided a great evening meal as well as a tasty breakfast buffet. Highly recommend this hotel!

Lovely restaurant and staff

Nicely appointed room with a view of the loch, reception and restaurant/bar staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant was excellent, and would highly recommend eating there. I enjoyed my stay, the only down points for me were that the floor of the room above us was so noisy every time anyone walked around it was borderline annoying, even considering it is an old building! I’m not very fussy but the room could have been a little cleaner in the more difficult to reach spots

Because this is in an older building the floors are very creaky so we got woken up early by people moving around and the staff behind cleaning around 8am while talking very loudly

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint hotel. We were traveling from Glasgow to Portree and used this location as a stopover. It was perfect for what we needed, although the next towns are a bit further away. The hotel staff was super friendly while checking us in and booked us for dinner and for our complimentary breakfast in the morning. We went to our room, which was cute and very clean. It was small, but that is to be expected! The restaurant in the hotel was phenomenal and the wait staff were amazing. It was a great dining experience. Same carried over for breakfast. The selection was great and we filled up before our hike to Steall Falls that morning! It was a great stay for us!

The building is OLD and needs a fair amount of updating and repair. Bath faucets were impossible to regulate between cold and sculding hot. Bed lumpy, floors uneven. Restaurant pricey and not very good food.

The food wasn’t as good as the last time we were here. And the breakfast buffet was luke warm and a bit dry The staff were lovely though . It is still hard to get heavy suitcases up stairs . I understand that the combination of Brexit and Covid has caused staff shortages but the overall managerial standard has slipped.

This was my second stop out of 5 hotels booked this week, I stayed in the single room which was perfect for me. It was nice and clean and the little bathroom with a skylight was a quirky touch - it had everything I needed. The staff were lovely and polite. I had a lovely walk around the golf course next door at the evening which was nice. The food was gorgeous both dinner and breakfast. The views are stunning and made for the most picturesque sunset! It was very interesting to read up on the information provided about the hotel and the creaky stairs! So cool Would stay again if I was passing by again.
