Welcomed by Mia and Flora who were so lovely and helpful. Absolute credit to Ben View!!|I was shown to my room. I arrived later than I’d planned to and arrived only just to make my dinner reservation I was told to take my time. …

Found this good and affordable accommodation on our round trip. I have rarely been so positively surprised after a first cautious impression.
But Graham is a great person and a brand. Take the opportunity to stay here and see for yourself! :)

What a cracker of a place this is. The setting is just picturesque. Graham and the staff are so warm and friendly, nothing was a bother for them. The food was delicious and a great selection to choose from. …

I must say that it is an absolutely amazing place, graham was the best owner ever, great cook, full of humor, and just a really nice guy overall. But i feel like i need to give a round of applause to Mia, 16 years old and working like she has been in the branch for 30, absolutely amazing work. And to top it all off there was a hot tub and a sauna, definitely worth another visit sometime //Axel and the family from 🇸🇪

Fabulous food. Stayed one night. Host and owner Graham was so friendly, accommodating and full of Glaswegian charm and humour. The evening meal was excellent and very well priced, and a cut above that of small hotels. …

Lovely one-night stay during a bike trip. Graham was so friendly and welcoming - he found a corner in the hallway where we could leave our e-bikes indoors, and offered that we could hang around a bit longer in the morning if we wanted to miss the torrential rain forecast! Nice to have a communal lounge area to read and chat to other guests. The sauna was a nice bonus although we didn't get round to trying it!

3 of us stayed here on our recent motorcycle tour. What an absolutely brilliant place. Great facilities, even a sauna and hot tub. The owner Graham is a perfect host. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the food at dinner then breakfast was just wonderful. Do not miss the chance to stay here, you'll have a really enjoyable stay.

Graham and his cosy hotel are wonderful characters and he is such a warm caring generous host. I can honestly say the fish and chips he made us were the best I have ever eaten. He is a very good cook, has an excellent sense of humour. …

We loved it here! Graham is a very hospitable, friendly and funny host. We felt right at home. We watched football together and had a good laugh with him and other guests. If you prefer to hang out by yourself or your own party, there’s enough room to do so. Loch Sunart has a beautiful scenery and is lovely for hiking. Graham can advise you on great paths and hidden gems!
