Amazing
My sister and I stayed here for several days in early June and it was amazing. The views, the little path down to the water, the food- all of it.

The hospitality was wonderful and the manager even played chess with our son. He was very engaging and friendly throughout our stay. The room was clean and cozily decorated. Our son was fine on the pull out couch.

Loch Leven Heaven
With the unfortunate heat wave our room was very warm with no fan. Being upstairs made it even warmer. Our bathroom was receiving an odar from the kitchen in the morning and evening which was usually garlic which was not overwhelming but not always pleasant. Our view was of the rear of the hotel which was the opposite side of the hotel that had the view of the river. Not the best view.
Views from the dining area and patio were beautiful!
Food was very good. Breakfasts were good as well. Bar was good. I felt they were understaffed the day of our arrival as the service for dinner was very slow and we were not the only party that wanted our food quicker and waited and waited to receive our bill.

The views from the hotel was stunning which is most of what you are paying for. The hotel seemed maintained enough and the game room was cool. The food we got was mediocre at best.

Highly recommend. Beautiful location.
Gorgeous setting for a hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel. The manager was very helpful and inviting. He recommended a lovely walk along the loch after dinner which was a great setting for sunset photographs. The bar is well stocked and they offered their own gin which was quite good.

This is an older property that is well maintained. Beautiful area. Good restaurant in the hotel . Nice sitting area gave extra space for relaxing. Room was comfortable and a good size. Ample parking. On major route through Glencoe or on to Oban.

Shabby and disappointing
Conditions of the building and the room were shabby and in need of much needed updating. The shower was not much bigger than one you would find in an RV. The views from the restaurant are beautiful, but not spectacular enough to make up for the exorbitant price per night. This is the one accommodation I regret booking out of the five I made for our nine-day tour of Scotland.

Beautiful setting.
Nice little hotel by the river at Glencoe. The room in the front was large with lots of light. Clean and comfortable bed. Beautiful sitting in restaurant by the wondow. The hotel has a large deck with beautiful view. The food at the restaurant was excellent.

Great view. Comfortable room and was large, though not sure all are the same.
Dinner was probably best of the trip, though you need reservations as they only seem to seat a few at a time.
Bar was also nice. Had good weather so the deck was nice too.
Included breakfast, but that didn't start until 8 which was too late for our schedule.
You can walk down to the old ferry landing and also a trail along the water.

Not worth the price
Beautiful location and friendly staff, however, this is a very dated hotel and is not worth the roughly 340 GBP per night that we paid. We stayed in what is supposed to be one of their nicer rooms - the deluxe double. The room felt very dated, and not in a good way. No hair dryer or telephone in the room either. Small and uncomfortable shower. Toilet squished against a wall. Bed was comfortable at least. We had dessert in the restaurant in the evening which was very good, but breakfast was poor. The scrambled eggs were tasteless. While not a terrible hotel, a very poor value for the price.

While the staff, service and restaurant were all wonderful, the rooms left a lot to be desired. The carpet in our room was coming up, our bed was slanted and uncomfortable and our toilet ran an exceptionally long time after flushing. We would gladly recommend the bar and restaurant to anyone, but the rooms could use an upgrade for the price paid
