Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery

Beautiful location, great view, staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant for dinner and breakfast - great food for both meals. The bar was a very cool place to spend the evening! It was sunny out and we were able to spend time on the patio. Great view of the loch.

Lovely location and great facilities for us though we were just there overnight we could have stayed a few nights and travelled about. Lovey hotel and friendly staff. Dinner and breakfast were lovey and there was a lovely fire on the bar.

We loved our stay at Loch Leven!! Impressed from the time we drove up and saw how lovely it was! Free car park, great dinner food selections, the bar opens at 3pm which was lovely. The staff are friendly and kind. We were a little overloaded on several Scottish breakfasts in a row and they were more than accommodating to figure out an alternative. It's a lovely spot especially if you need a quiet break from the hustle of tourist season!

Beautiful location on the shores of Loch Leven. Loved the restaurant onsite. No lift so be prepared to carry luggage upstairs. Very friendly staff. Delicious gin distilled onsite with great cocktails.

Lovely location. Stunning. Food excellent. Gin superb. Really enjoyed our stay. Well located for exploring the area. Only negative is no laundry facilities as advertised.

This is an older property that is well maintained. Beautiful area. Good restaurant in the hotel . Nice sitting area gave extra space for relaxing. Room was comfortable and a good size. Ample parking. On major route through Glencoe or on to Oban.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. good food, great parking and a lovely touch of Scottish charm

Stayed in the pods and they were beautiful. Dinner was a little disappointing but overall was a great experience!

The views from the hotel was stunning which is most of what you are paying for. The hotel seemed maintained enough and the game room was cool. The food we got was mediocre at best.

Wonderful views of Loch Leven in the dining room. Hiking trails surround this lovely little gem of a hotel. Stay in the pods for a real intimate experience of Scotland!!

The room was a disappointment in poor condition lacking routine maintenance. Rusty door hinges in the bathroom, lights in the mirror did not work, the toilet seat was loose and was the wrong size. The rooms walls and carpeting had spots and stains.

The hotel was spotless, cosy, staff very friendly especially the Italian barman. The food tasted great and views were stunning! I loved the outdoor area and surrounding grounds are fab! You can go down to a beach area or go a woodland walk. The only thing I feel could improve it further would be to have a little bit bigger option for breakfast. Oh and more haggis in the Balmoral chicken so that I could actually taste it but other than the food tasted amazing!

First off the good stuff…The view was spectacular, located on the edge of the loch, by the bridge with stunning views of the mountains. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on site and it was great. The hotel distills its own gin and has many options. The drinks were amazing, really good gin! The main hotel was nice and clean looking in the lobby and restaurant areas. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out of. 20 min drive to Glencoe, so great location as well. The bad… we stayed in a “luxury pod” bc the hotel rooms were booked up. Not many pics available on site, so I went by reviews and descriptions. The bathroom had mold all over the corners and floor. The heat kept shutting off in the middle of the night, even though it said it was on and working, so we slept with coats on. The sheets were not very clean, they were a little stained so we slept on top of the comforter and I had a travel blanket with me and we used that instead. So, we were torn about this hotel bc the manager or owner was very friendly as were the staff. The food and views and location were great. I’m assuming the hotel rooms matched the lobby and were clean and nice like the Expedia photos and reviews said. I just would not book a pod anywhere ever again based on this stay.

The location was quietly located on the Loch. All rooms are upstairs with staircase access only. Heavy luggage makes it a little difficult but staff made themselves available to help. The bathroom was very clean but the shower tub is very tall and it’s a bit difficult to enter if you’re handicap or short. The bed was comfortable. The food in the restaurant was excellent. I would recommend a stay here.

Room was not very clean….there was dust everywhere and a spider in the room. Bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were old and flat. We paid way too much in comparison to the other 7 hotels we stayed at. Food in the restaurant was excellent however. Would definitely recommend eating there!

The staff are amazing!! Clean, easy, good view, good food.

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay at Loch Leven. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. The restaurant/bar staff were likewise excellent. The food was amazing as well. The location and views completed the overall package to make our stay there truly memorable.

We had a great stay here. The staff were welcoming and gracious. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The food was very good at both breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend staying at this hotel.

We were very excited to stay at this property. We arrived late due to some travel delays and checked in at the lounge. We appreciated being able to grab a meal right at the restaurant. However, I informed the server of my dietary requirements and ensured I should be okay which was not the case. I was very ill that evening delaying our departure the next morning. Overall, the pod was cute and cozy. We did have issues with heat fluctuations in the shower making it near impossible to take a full shower. Lastly, our only other disappointment was some of the linens did not appear laundered. We did not have a chance to speak to anyone on site as when we discovered the issues it was past midnight and the restaurant was closed. We should have certainly informed them the following morning though we were in a rush to get on the road. Beautiful property nonetheless.

While some of the reviews we read rated this place charming, I would tell you to run the other way. You can surely do better even if you have to drive further. If I am able to post photos I will do so. You will see the mold and dry rot in the molding at the base of the shower. The shower enclosure itself seemed clean but the floor was horrid. The fuzz all over the exhaust fan that has not been cleaned in who knows how long. The dirty carpet. The pull cord to turn on the lights in the bathroom. The sink with separate hot and cold taps and the drain that must be exactly balanced or the sink won’t drain. No tissues in the room. No shampoo. No conditioner. There was a barely enough amount of body wash. One hand towel and one small body towel each. No hair dryer. If you want one you must go to reception to borrow one. No elevator, so fair warning, you will be dragging your suitcase up a curved staircase with narrow stairs. The staff was cordial and efficient. We slept fairly well, so the two twin beds were comfortable . Breakfast offered a full Scottish, cereals, yogurt, toast, coffee or tea. We ate dinner there and the mussels were very good, served with one dry piece of bread. The second night my husband asked for an additional piece of bread. He was served 4 slices, for which we were charged £4! So be careful in how you order. I would not stay here again even if it was free and could not wait to leave.

Comfortable enough hotel, older building so a bit creaky and thin walls (could clearly hear people in adjacent room). Nice bar, breakfast good with nice view of the Loch. friendly staff. Check-in at 4pm is too late, needs to be a hour earlier like most other hotels.

What a place! Loved it. We had a ground floor room with a private deck. Gorgeous view of the mountains and Loch. Gardens beautiful. Amazing restaurant and pub. We had fabulous food. Loved how we didn’t have to drive out to eat. Breakfast was also good, although we are not fans of the full Scottish breakfast so we ordered eggs and toast which was no problem. We hiked lost valley, neptunes staircase, and walked around Ballachulish. This area is an incredibly beautiful area of Scotland. If you are looking to stay in the Glen Coe area I highly recommend this hotel. Even though the address is Fort William it’s much closer to Glencoe and all the hiking.

For 2 people we got the room 15 which is so tiny that the couldn’t barely put our 2 suitcases on the floor and there was no place to put the towels at all. This hotel is flare and need rejuvanating!

The key item to me is comfort and it was the least comfortable bed in a 4 week stay in the UK. It was a thin foam pad on an old set of box springs. You could feel the springs. You could hear the springs. We traveled with another couple and they said the same. I expected the room to be small and things to be a little old and worn, but why not have decent beds. The location worked well, the people were nice, they provided a nice breakfast, it is a nice setting, and the place has potential. We were there only one night so we never used the bar or restaurant.

My husband and I loved everything about our stay. Our room was as comfortable and the shower was nice and hot, food was fantastic and everyone went above and beyond for us. The location was incredible. So beautiful.

The bar a restaurant are lovely, delicious and the staff was great. The hotel however, was ok. Not too good not too bad. The bathroom light turns on by pulling a cable. Through the bathroom we could hear our room neighbors like they were in the same room and I’m guessing they did too. We did enjoy our stay. Way too expensive for the experience.

The location is great and we were grateful to stay in the Highlands last week. However, the hotel accommodations left a bit to be desired. To start the room was very warm and there was no air flow even with the window open. It was cool enough outside but ventilation was poor. Some minor updates could go a long way for summer guests. The bed we had was comparable to a pull out sleeper sofa. I don’t suspect all rooms had this type of bedding but I was disappointed that’s the room we landed.

This hotel was beautifully situated on Loch Leven, with water views from the rooms and dining area. Our room was in the main building, with a four-posted bed and antique furnishings and lighting fixtures. The staff was friendly and professional (Paul and Karen especially); dinner and bar service were great, as was breakfast the next morning. We had a lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay!! The staff was great and very accommodating. The room was small, but cozy and had everything we needed. Bed was super comfortable.

The view of the river was beautiful. However you are right by the bridge that goes over that same river and there is traffic noise. The rooms are in disrepair. Floors are uneven and squeaky. Tap on the sink was not bolted down and moved whenever you switched on the water. Shower was very tiny. We were given a room upstairs and there’s no lift so you have to carry all your bags up. We wouldn’t stay there again or recommend.

Staff was really nice and McGregor was very good at guest relations.

The shower did not work. There was very minimal water pressure and the temperature could not be controlled. I contacted the man on staff that day who I think was the manager but was lying saying he wasn’t and he came to the room and could not fix it. He couldn’t get anyone out to fix it and did not offer us a stay in a different room or anything. They gave us 40 pounds off of our dinner but that’s just not good enough for not having a shower to use during our stay. When I approached the man about it he was very rude to my wife and I and just rushed us away. I have tried many times to contact mamagement through email and phone calls and have not heard anything back even though they said someone will get in touch with me. This is Terrible business practice and the facility should probably be shut down until they can provide basic stay needs.

We loved our stay at Loch Leven!! Impressed from the time we drove up and saw how lovely it was! Free car park, great dinner food selections, the bar opens at 3pm which was lovely. The staff are friendly and kind. We were a little overloaded on several Scottish breakfasts in a row and they were more than accommodating to figure out an alternative. It's a lovely spot especially if you need a quiet break from the hustle of tourist season!

An incredibly disappointing stay after a long drive, arrived at the hotel to be met by a grumpy owner who was disinterested, barely explained where the room was, at other hotels we were shown to our room! We then asked if there was any way of an early breakfast (or pack lunch) as we were leaving early for the ferry to Skye (breakfast costing £12.95 as stated) the very lovely lady on reception said she would check with the kitchen, she then said that she was told it would be possible to make up a pack lunch but we would have to pay an additional £12.95 even though we were asking for that instead of the breakfast. She seemed embarrassed and apologised Quite frankly it was a matter of principle, even if they’d offered up a croissant and an apple we would have been happy! If it wasn’t for the bad attitude and refusal to help in any way i could have looked through the damp in the bathroom, the smashed up sink and the wires hanging out of the towel heater. I would personally avoid this place at all costs

With the unfortunate heat wave our room was very warm with no fan. Being upstairs made it even warmer. Our bathroom was receiving an odar from the kitchen in the morning and evening which was usually garlic which was not overwhelming but not always pleasant. Our view was of the rear of the hotel which was the opposite side of the hotel that had the view of the river. Not the best view. Views from the dining area and patio were beautiful! Food was very good. Breakfasts were good as well. Bar was good. I felt they were understaffed the day of our arrival as the service for dinner was very slow and we were not the only party that wanted our food quicker and waited and waited to receive our bill.

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay at Loch Leven. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. The restaurant/bar staff were likewise excellent. The food was amazing as well. The location and views completed the overall package to make our stay there truly memorable.

Loch Leven Hotel was at the top of our list to return to after first staying there for a single nigjt 8 yrs ago. This time we stayed 3.nights and it did not dissapoint. Staff are WONDERFUL, very kind and attentive. Breakfast is great snd dinners are fabulous. Had the best venison I have ever eaten. Bar is well stocked and a wonderful little spot to mingle with other guests. If you are visiting the Glencoe area - stay at Loch Leven; it is unique and wonderful.

Staff were fantastic and the location is gorgeous. Lots of hiking options within a short drive. Really can't imagine a better place to sit on the deck with a drink and gaze at the loch and mountains beyond.

Stefano, Paul, and Craig were a delight to meet and have fellowship with. Wishing them all the best of life. Thanks and Slàinte Mhath

Good location, breakfast really nice, the assistant at the desk where you check in was a bit frosty, apart from that a nice place

Beautiful setting on the loch, small quaint hotel with snug bar and good breakfast and dinner options on site.

The property was located in a beautiful garden on the edge of the loch. The view from the dining room was spectacular. It was close to all of the things we wanted to see in Glencoe. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel could use a little bit of an upgrade as it is getting dated but it was still charming.

This hotel is far from the town. It had no elevator I would never choose it again and with that recommended.

Great property to stop over on route to Skype or Inverness or return to Glasgow / Edinburgh - dining was excellent and the brewery own blend of gin different. The POD options add variety although we don’t stay in one. Superb views of the hills and Loch.

Lovely location next to Loch Leven, very close to Glencoe and Ballanchulish. We enjoyed the included Scottish breakfast and had a nice dinner there the first evening. There’s a great walking trail along the loch. We were inadvertently booked into a pod the first night (booking system error) which was a bit too cozy for two people. The staff were wonderful and moved us into the main hotel for our second night. Much better! It’s a nice quiet location away from the cities bit close to Fort William. Great hiking and views nearby.

Very pretty location on the river and staff was very nice. The restaurant was great and food was excellent.

This lodging was absolutely perfect for our visit to the Highlands and Glencoe area. Close proximity to a ton of outdoor attractions. The views from the lodge grounds are breathtaking to say the least. They offer their own gin and rum varieties and served breakfast and dinner. Every sip and bite was first rate. Paul and staff made every effort to ensure that our stay was a visit that we will never forget. The staff, offerings, and location make this a 10/10!!!

Staff were fantastic and the location is gorgeous. Lots of hiking options within a short drive. Really can't imagine a better place to sit on the deck with a drink and gaze at the loch and mountains beyond.

Location was amazing, right on shores of loch with mountain views. Very helpful staff, and excellent breakfast. Opted to eat dinner there as well, which was delicious. We would highly recommend hotel for short or long stay to explore the surrounding area even more.

The view of the river was beautiful. However you are right by the bridge that goes over that same river and there is traffic noise. The rooms are in disrepair. Floors are uneven and squeaky. Tap on the sink was not bolted down and moved whenever you switched on the water. Shower was very tiny. We were given a room upstairs and there’s no lift so you have to carry all your bags up. We wouldn’t stay there again or recommend.

Nice little hotel by the river at Glencoe. The room in the front was large with lots of light. Clean and comfortable bed. Beautiful sitting in restaurant by the wondow. The hotel has a large deck with beautiful view. The food at the restaurant was excellent.

Hotel is tired and old. But the food at the restaurant is excellent.

This is a charming spot on the water with nice views. It's a bit old and worn (though I hear they're getting ready to do a full update), and the bathroom was the smallest I'd seen in a long time with a heating system I didn't attempt to use for a shower (in fairness, I was in one of the smaller style rooms they offered). That said, the folks who work in the dining area are lovely and the food was very good - best mussels I've ever had! Definitely recommend stopping in for a meal.

The hotel was exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional. And the bar was perfect.

The bar a restaurant are lovely, delicious and the staff was great. The hotel however, was ok. Not too good not too bad. The bathroom light turns on by pulling a cable. Through the bathroom we could hear our room neighbors like they were in the same room and I’m guessing they did too. We did enjoy our stay. Way too expensive for the experience.

Very pretty location on the river and staff was very nice. The restaurant was great and food was excellent.

Beautiful location and friendly staff, however, this is a very dated hotel and is not worth the roughly 340 GBP per night that we paid. We stayed in what is supposed to be one of their nicer rooms - the deluxe double. The room felt very dated, and not in a good way. No hair dryer or telephone in the room either. Small and uncomfortable shower. Toilet squished against a wall. Bed was comfortable at least. We had dessert in the restaurant in the evening which was very good, but breakfast was poor. The scrambled eggs were tasteless. While not a terrible hotel, a very poor value for the price.

This hotel is really underrated. Very reasonable price and great location. Looks no different to nearby hotels which are triple the price. Stunning views from the surrounding mountains. Friendly staff. Restaurant a little bit expensive but not many options in the area - supply and demand!

The hotel is very run down. We had broken blinds in our room, no overhead light in the bathroom, heavily stained cushions on the bed,I could go on. Breakfast is very limited with just two choices and the ingredients are of poor quality. The only positive was that the bed was clean and comfy. The website doesn’t reflect the actual state of the rooms, and it’s extremely overpriced and wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely outstanding hotel. Beautifully appointed room with super comfy bed. View to die for. Superb restaurant & hospitality team. Excellent wine list & chef. I need an excuse to return.
