This was a nice comfortable hotel in a pretty location. Good proximity to the Glencoe area and many hiking trails. Food in the restaurant was good but the manager (Liam) seemed to be having a bad night and snapped at several customers.

Hotel GREAT Food Terrible

We had a great stay at Ballachulish. The location on the lake is beautiful. Our room was lovely and overall the hotel was really fun to stay in. The restaurant is TERRIBLE. We had our worst meal on our whole trip there. Would not recommend at all. But the hotel is great.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It’s a decent place, but I wouldn’t recommend staying more than one night. The room appears renovated, but there’s a lot of dust in the carpet and mattress. If you’re passing by and need a place to stay for the night, this is a good option. The best part about this place is the amazing free breakfast, which offers a lot of good options. Additionally, there’s free parking and the views from the hotel are stunning.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
