The building is OLD and needs a fair amount of updating and repair. Bath faucets were impossible to regulate between cold and sculding hot. Bed lumpy, floors uneven. Restaurant pricey and not very good food.

The food wasn’t as good as the last time we were here. And the breakfast buffet was luke warm and a bit dry The staff were lovely though . It is still hard to get heavy suitcases up stairs . I understand that the combination of Brexit and Covid has caused staff shortages but the overall managerial standard has slipped.

This was my second stop out of 5 hotels booked this week, I stayed in the single room which was perfect for me. It was nice and clean and the little bathroom with a skylight was a quirky touch - it had everything I needed. The staff were lovely and polite. I had a lovely walk around the golf course next door at the evening which was nice. The food was gorgeous both dinner and breakfast. The views are stunning and made for the most picturesque sunset! It was very interesting to read up on the information provided about the hotel and the creaky stairs! So cool Would stay again if I was passing by again.

Great views, mediocre experience
The location is the best part about this hotel. Perfectly situated right by waterfront views. The bed was very uncomfortable with the mattress sinking in the middle. It wasn’t clear that we would get charged for any requests. I put a request for bathrobes and slippers in room when booking on hotels.com and at checkout was charged £50 for it- crazy! Wasn’t told about this charge, they were already in the room upon arrival and then just told upon checkout I needed to pay for having put the request in on my booking. It was taken care of by the front office after some discussion upon departure but not a pleasant experience for being charged for something most hotels provide and without ever being advised there’s an extra fee. Breakfast was just ok. We weren’t told we needed to sign up for a breakfast slot and by the time we got there they ran out of croissants. The evening tea and coffee in the lounge was a nice touch as were the board games the kids loved.

Felt like a castle in a small quaint town. The greeting from the beginning with a welcome drink was special. The windows open to allow the cool Scottish breeze into the room. The breakfast was delicious.

hotel Ballachulish has lovely updated guest rooms with comfortable beds and terrific baths. Tge check in procedure was pleasant and very easy. We didn’t have dinner so I can’t speak to that but breakfast was very nice. The views from some rooms and the dining room are extraordinary.

Truly a really fantastic old style hotel. Mod cons but full of yesteryear charm. Great lounge and library. Just a real pleasure enhanced by the moody weather of glencoe. If you can’t stay here at least have dinner.

Nice location, quiet clean hotel. Hotel restaurant is good for dinner - and breakfast is very good, rooms are clean and comfortable. It’s an older building, but has been renovated and is well maintained. Our room had a view of the loch across the street. Plenty of parking and free Wi-fi.
