We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that. We had evening dinner which was very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was clean but just needs a good update, which is a shame as the hotel was a great stop off for us. The bathroom door was very small to get through and the bed was a small double. All in all a good stay.

The room was very clean and comfortable. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beautiful views in the restaurant of the Loch. All the employees are very kind, warm and welcoming. We stayed an extra day because we enjoyed our stay so much. If we ever come back to Scotland, we will stay at the Lodge on the Loch. Cheers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I’ll start by saying I don’t often make reviews unless something is really good, or really bad. And this one was really bad. To preface, I’ve travelled a bunch, stayed in group hostels, cheap airbnbs and done lots to save a few bucks on a trip. This place really is just not something I’d recommend anyone to spend money on. Spend the extra few dollars and go somewhere else. Check in was fine, there was no one at the desk for a few minutes then someone came out and quickly checked us in, pretty much saying nothing but “your stay doesn’t include breakfast”, “sign here” and “you’re in room 9 up the stairs”, and pointed where to go. Not my experience with most hotels but maybe they skipped their hospitality training. We went up to the room, the door kind of looks like Harry Potter’s door under the stairs. We got in and I’ll list below what I observed and what I came to find in the coming hours: Pros: - nice view on the mountains Cons: - tv mounted on the wall fully crooked - ceiling had a lamp shade that was falling off - One of the bed side lights didn’t work at all - Cob webs all over the side of the wall in one corner - Wall paper peeling off the walls - Black mold on the ceiling in the shower - Cold water tap moves out of place entirely when you turn it on - Shower fills up with water while using it because it doesn’t drain properly - bottom sheet in the bed. mattress cover, top sheet, comforter, one pillow each. - Toilet is constantly running - wifi sucks
