Hotel staff were welcoming and friendly. Hotel was spotless and very cosy. We had an exceptional dinner in the bar and breakfast the following day was very good too. Highly recommend this hotel.
A bit dated, but was clean, and the staff was friendly. Great breakfast.

Room was clean ,staff were very helpful and went out their way to help hotel was pet friendly view from hotel was spectacular across the Loch to the mountains on the other side would stay there again
Breakfast was very good. Staff were very helpful. Large hotel but enough parking available. Lovely setting with amazing views of the Loch. Very close to Fort William.
The hotel is nice but it is just a hotel. It was clean. With beds for the three of us there was not much room to maneuver but we made it work. We enjoyed a great meal in the pub.
The room is clean. The staffs are friendly and very efficiency. The breakfast is great, authentic UK style breakfast. The view is super great! There is a very cute and very smart dog.
Rooms are super clean. Exterior of hotel was in need of some paint and upkeep. Just stayed for 1 night passing through the highlands. Great lake views, didn’t eat at hotel. The one thing that noticed is when walking in the hallway you can hear inside the rooms.
The staff at this hotel as really helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Although an older hotel, it seems to be well maintained.
Great location for a one night pit stop on way to Skye.
Bar food was good and nice singer for entertainment

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Unusual place - bar and dining room was extra large with plenty of room, nice colours, comfy chairs. I think they were understaffed as they were pretty busy during dinner service.
The rooms, although clean, was like stepping back 50 years in time. It was great that you could open the window as there was no air movement. A fan would've been handy. Tea, coffee, hair dryer all good.
I thought for certain that i had booked with breakfast included for our 2 days but apparently not. I'll need to check that again when i get home.
It's a little way out from Fort William and the view out the front of the building was stunning. Would i stay here again, yes probably, now that I know what to expect.
