We popped in for our dinner on a whim. We had a bar meal and were served the best fish and chips I've had in a long time, huge portion, really well cooked and beautifully presented! Loved the atmosphere in the bar, the staff were friendly and we were served really quickly - great place!

This place is such a gem. Ailsa is kind, attentive, and the epitome of a perfect host. She efficiently moved from check-in, the bar, and the restaurant making sure all guests had what they needed. The rooms are cosy, decorated with unique furniture, and the bathrooms are very modern and elegant. And oh my goodness, you MUST have dinner there. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. I wish I could have stayed much longer!

We didn’t stay at this hotel but we had a chance to check out their bar area and boy oh boy it did not disappoint! The best “pub” in the whole of Invermoriston! The bar maid called Kayley was the best “pub” lady we have ever encountered! Her customer service skills were just phenomenal! She was very knowledgeable and super friendly!!! She introduced to me to a lager that was only brewed for this hotel and it was so delicious! We were also super lucky because they showed EUROS on TV and guess what?!?! England won! What a great atmosphere, drinks and people! Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are walking “The Great Glen Way” !!!

Visited for food. The pub is very nice and the staff are lovely. However if I'm honest I found it quite expensive and the portions were too small. Particularly the pork chops dish. However it was very tasty.
