I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The room I was given was very cold, and while I asked about changing rooms, I was told the hotel was fully booked. They did provide a portable heater, but it wasn’t enough to make the room comfortable. Additionally, the view from the room was underwhelming, and it didn’t match the description or photos. Based on this experience, I won’t be booking here again. But breakfast was good. And the reception girl was helpful

Overnight stay

Comfortable stay in a recently renovated room but parts of hotel looked very shabby, for the cost was still good value. The evening menu had a good choice I went for fish and chips it being Scotland unfortunately very disappointing grey supermarket fish with skinny fries and over cooked peas. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Liked the view from the room window accross the loch, and has a great location only a few minutes drive from fort william. The staff were friendly especially the cleaner who came running out after me to say id left my toothbrush behind. Not too impressed by the room itself though, it was a bit tired looking with stains on the carpet and rusty brown bits in the shower screen. Also the walls are thin enough to clearly hear neighbouring guests. To be fair it wasnt an expensive hotel so its not bad for the money.

It has an amazing view of the mountains however it is an outdated hotel, it’s simple and old-fashion. The food was good and decent. The only concerns I have is the address, it didn’t appear on Apple Maps, the sign of the location (drived at night so it wasn’t easy to find), not soundproof (heard footsteps from other rooms). The staff was very polite and very greeting overall.

Below expectations

Front of house upon arrival and throughout the duration of our stay was incredibly abrupt, condescending and rude to both me and my family as well as to every other guest with which he interacted. Not only was communication skills poor but his knowledge of what was advertised and what was actually available, was not correct. For example, restaurant was closed although online said was open, packed lunches were unavailable but still offered, and when we asked questions regarding the procedure to order and availability of food services out with the breakfast menu, we were met with hostility. The rest of our stay was acceptable and the breakfast offerings were really good, but the man who worked front of house during our stay (2nd January to 4th January) needs a course in customer service and manners. The restaurant staff were exceptional, knowledgeable and obliging, as was the woman on reception at check out.
