This place was magnificent. It’s older and smaller than newer hotels but this place is much more charming. The service and facilities were great. The food was unbelievable, both dinner and breakfast. Great beer on tap. Overall, could not be more impressed.

Perfect celebratory dinner, good food and friendly service. Kieran, Ina and Jan made our dinner very special indeed. Fresh oysters, tasty lamb and seabass dishes complimented by a fabulous wine choice. A quiet location and a lovely welcome.

Stayed here for 1 night, very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and during meal times. The food was superb and lots of different options for breakfast. Could do with updating the decor but then the querkiness of our room and dated corridors adds to the character of this hotel.

I spontaneously spent two nights here with my brother and was thrilled from the very first minute. I originally come from the hotel industry myself and know what service should be like and you have surpassed that there. Cleanliness, friendliness and good food are the order of the day here. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and think the price is more than justified. The food in the bistro was outstanding and once again the service was simply a poem.Thilo and Enrico.

Lovely hotel with a great restaurant. Everything was very well thought of. The room and the restaurant are definitely a big improvement from what you can get in fort william for the same price. The staff was very nice and friendly. The food and service was great. I think this place is a secret gem in Glenfinnan.

I love character hotels and this is a great one. We booked it as a stop over after taking the ferry from Armadale to Mallaig. The restaurant's food is delicious. Amazing salmon. The hot water is plentiful with great water pressure in the shower. I booked a room including breakfast and it exceeded expectations.

This is the second time me and my partner have stayed, a year apart between each visit.Each time the hotel has been absolutely excellent. The rooms are a very nice size, have all the facilities you can think of, and are spotlessly clean.Both times we stayed we had an evening meal, and I have to say the food is amazing. Both meals have absolutely took our breath away, the produce is always fresh and top quality. The restraint area is in a very nice setting and we sat by the window both times over looking a small stream.The breakfasts are out of this world, everything is cooked fresh, the little basket of bakes is a lovely added extra, and once again the food is amazing.The last amazing thing about this hotel are the hosts, both times all three of them have been so super friendly and very accommodating. Every aspect of this hotel just makes you want to go back and stay again, since my trip last year I've always wanted to go back and this time round was a surprise night away my partner had arranged, you can't imagine my delight when we pulled up in the carpark of this magnificent establishment.I can't wait to come back again.

I was having last minute dinner in the restaurant. Even if I did not book in advance a table, we've received a very good welcome from the lady. She shared her experience and she made us very confortable.The kitchen was delicious and food was very freshed and well cooked.The enviroment was cozy and confortable. The view of the reastaurant is stunning as the waterway passes on the side.I could not have the opportunity to sleep at the hotel, but next time I will definetly do it as it is a good discovery in the nature!
