Decent for the price

The back of the bathroom door handle was dirty and there were a couple stray hairs in undesireable places. No face cloths. Dont like combo shampoo/body wash.

The room was very small but sufficient for the price bracket. Most of the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. One member of staff was very over stressed, frequently ignored people at reception for a long period of time, complained a lot about his workload, made it seem that getting a table for dinner was a really big deal and inconvenient despite there only being three tables eating when I was there. Asking for a drink in the evening felt like a big inconvenience. Whilst he was polite when you did get his attention you were made to feel that everything was just too much for him despite the place being practically empty. Some background music would have also made it much more pleasant. The evening meal was excellent

This is a budget property and I paid a budget price. The positive - breakfast was pretty good. The not so positive - no hairdryer in the room, duvet was very thin and no top sheet either. Overnight roadworks meant a lot of noise (obviously this is not the hotel’s fault). I was twice woken up by people running along the corridor and knocking on my door. Very limited dining options - I was told that I could only get bar food and had to book a time within a specific one hour period. I declined.

Reasonable hotel with friendly staff.

The hotel is in an exceptional position, with amazing views of the loch. The rooms were comfy, although the bathroom was not the cleanest. The rooms were very very hot. The evening meals are very basic - not the best. The breakfast was ok. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would stay again .

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.
