Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts lovely views of the loch but falls short in delivering them to the bedrooms as advertised. The rooms offer a poster bed overlooking the beautiful loch but unfortunately with poor sprung mattresses. The service needs improvement, especially in being more friendly and welcoming, with a receptionist who was not very helpful. Despite these drawbacks, the location shines being right on the loch with stunning views and surrounded by picturesque mountains. The dining experience was mixed with speedily served meals but included poor quality ingredients. The facilities overall were decent, but improvements are needed in some areas.
I was absolutely thrilled with the breathtaking views of the Loch right outside my front windows. The hotel's location is outstanding, but the dining experience left much to be desired. Although the service was not very welcoming, the view of the oil tank in the forest from my room made my stay quite unique.
The hotel offers stunning views right on the shore of Loch Maree, providing a unique and picturesque setting. The rooms are cozy with impressive views, but the service could be more welcoming to enhance the overall experience. The dining menu features traditional homemade products but may lack in quality ingredients. Despite some areas that could be improved, the location's beauty compensates for any shortcomings.
