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.
Beautiful room with a lake view. Includes breakfast as well which was delicious. Would highly recommend Yum Yum Burger food truck just across the bridge. A great guy offering great food for a great price.
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.
wonderful stay, great experience with a breathless view

Great views, mediocre experience
The location is the best part about this hotel. Perfectly situated right by waterfront views. The bed was very uncomfortable with the mattress sinking in the middle. It wasn’t clear that we would get charged for any requests. I put a request for bathrobes and slippers in room when booking on hotels.com and at checkout was charged £50 for it- crazy! Wasn’t told about this charge, they were already in the room upon arrival and then just told upon checkout I needed to pay for having put the request in on my booking. It was taken care of by the front office after some discussion upon departure but not a pleasant experience for being charged for something most hotels provide and without ever being advised there’s an extra fee.
Breakfast was just ok. We weren’t told we needed to sign up for a breakfast slot and by the time we got there they ran out of croissants.
The evening tea and coffee in the lounge was a nice touch as were the board games the kids loved.
Felt like a castle in a small quaint town. The greeting from the beginning with a welcome drink was special. The windows open to allow the cool Scottish breeze into the room. The breakfast was delicious.

hotel Ballachulish has lovely updated guest rooms with comfortable beds and terrific baths. Tge check in procedure was pleasant and very easy. We didn’t have dinner so I can’t speak to that but breakfast was very nice. The views from some rooms and the dining room are extraordinary.
Truly a really fantastic old style hotel. Mod cons but full of yesteryear charm. Great lounge and library. Just a real pleasure enhanced by the moody weather of glencoe. If you can’t stay here at least have dinner.
Nice location, quiet clean hotel. Hotel restaurant is good for dinner - and breakfast is very good, rooms are clean and comfortable. It’s an older building, but has been renovated and is well maintained. Our room had a view of the loch across the street. Plenty of parking and free Wi-fi.
Beautiful hotel with a fantastic view of Loch Linnhe. The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were charming and helpful. We didn't get everyone's names, but Johnny and Callum at the bar & restaurant were delightful.
Really enjoyed my stay. Hotel has clearly undergone a recent renovation and size and standard of accommodation was high. The old staircase is a bit loud and creaky for thise that may be light sleepers (I had no problems), but that comes with the character of such a beautiful old building. Staff were very helpful and friendly, although I did feel the hotel was somewhat understaffed for the size of the hotel. Breakfast was the only slight dissapointment with the self service buffet leaving food a bit lukewarm, albeit the selection on offer was excellent. I would certainly stay again on my next trip to the area.
