Great property to stop over on route to Skype or Inverness or return to Glasgow / Edinburgh - dining was excellent and the brewery own blend of gin different. The POD options add variety although we don’t stay in one.
Superb views of the hills and Loch.

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.

Room was not very clean….there was dust everywhere and a spider in the room. Bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were old and flat. We paid way too much in comparison to the other 7 hotels we stayed at. Food in the restaurant was excellent however. Would definitely recommend eating there!

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.
