Dining room on premise was convenient and staff was helpful and pleasant. Building and furnishings a little old and hot water difficulty to get.

Tired and price too high for what’s offered
The Oak Tree was a disappointment. Not as presented in their photographs. Rooms are tired and in need of updating. Food in the restaurant was good but surroundings very rustic. In my view expensive for what was on offer.
Exceeded our expectations. Every detail clean and well done. Food options really nice. We missed evening and live music time I imagine it’s memorable too
We loved our stay here. Our superior pod had everything we needed and the little patio with the view of the Loch was just perfect. Good mattress and plenty of hot water - the most important things for me. The hotel and cottages were beautiful. Might try out the cottages next time! Reception staff were delightful. Friendly and welcoming.
We had dinner our first night and it was terrific. This was our first time having haggis and I think it spoiled us! The Cullen Skink and Sticky Toffee Pudding were also great. Lovely whisky flight also
It's a difficult review. The staff are great,the food is great and the rooms are very nice and clean.however,we were in Dan's cottage room on the lower level. The soundproofing is unfortunately non existent. We could hear and feel every footstep above,every toilet flush,every hairdryer and every muffled conversation. It's a shame as the room,hotel and balmaha are lovely.
Our stay was decent, the area is beautiful. However we paid extra for a "deluxe" room and the room was nothing like the one in the photos, no where near as nice.
Loved this hotel. Easy parking. Comfortable and clean rooms. Lovely balcony. We didn’t use it though as it was raining. About a 2 minute walk to the actual restaurant. Really excellent food. Would definitely stay again.
The Oak Tree Inn is an amazing first night on the West Highland Way! Excellent dinner and breakfast and comfortable rooms. High recommended and would stay again for sure.
Absolutely no where to park when checking in. No signage at all to tell you to check in inside the restaurant. All ordering outside you have to do on a cell phone. Staff too busy dealing with teenage hikers to care whether you are there or not. Every other place in Scotland was fabulous and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Not this place. Food was ok and room was nice. Shops close at 6pm so get there early if you want to experiance anything other than eating
Would not go back
