This was a convenient stay for the day drive loop to go to Fort William and Glencoe. Some of the staff seemed grumpy. (caretaker guy was a bit rude) The food was great. The restaurant with the fishing gear hanging had an attentive, friendly staff. Everything was a tad bit overpriced in our opinion, in contrast to what we experienced on the rest of our 8 day trip.

Stunning views over the loch and surrounding hills. A lovely welcome from Ann on reception. Food and service were excellent. The room was clean, the bed comfortable (a lighter duvet would have been a bonus as the room was very warm and that was with the heating off and windows open). If you fancy climbing a Munro, Schiehallion is about 15 minutes from the hotel to the car park. Can't fault it and would stay again. Thank you.

Just returned from a v enjoyable stay at the hotel. Food was excellent, spa facilities & treatments were great, staff friendly, beautiful location, rooms clean and spacious. Only slight issue was internet and tv signal could be slow/intermittent but I guess that’s down to the remote location! Otherwise 10/10!!

What an amazing place to stay. We were there for an anniversary weekend and had our 4 legged friend along with us. Facilities were excellent and the food amazing. Staff were very welcoming of Ivy (dog), and always looking out for her with treats and water. Plan on visiting again without Ivy so we can enjoy the spa more. I would highly recommend the Loch Rannoch Hotel and Spa for a visit. Oh and the scenery? ... Wow!
