Altnacealgach Motel

Well equipped room if you’re looking to be self catering. The welcome was anything but friendly - we sincerely wondered what it was we’d said or not said. Arrived at the wrong moment obviously. The evening meal was nothing to ring home about. Really was the only sad example of fast food - low class mutton dressed up as lamb - in the whole two weeks we spent in Wales, England and Scotland. Definitely would never eat there again. Lack of hospitality practice. Sad really because the site itself is gorgeous.

We arrived very tired and were not impressed with the short and unfriendly welcome, were given a key, told to leave before 10 am. No free wifi allowed in rooms, were told to go to their pub for wifi. We did this as had to send a few emails and brought 2 on tap beers half pints £5 each, that was ok, still nobody spoke to us, the room was clean, sadly the fridge was not on so after chilling things for a few hours they were still warm, its not that hard to prepare a room really for the price they charge. The uht milk was curdling and expired which they were happy to exchange with fresh. No instructions on how to lock and unlock the only door, it wasn't the usual lock, no fan to keep cool it was hot weather, the fan on the wall wouldn't work, no instructions on the tv which kept telling us the signal was too weak, shower very hot and cold, was fine to have a cold shower due to warmer weather they did offer the use of the shower in room next door, seems to be a family run place full of their family, bar man rude no personality whatsoever, none of them, just a unpleasant place all round. Not Scottish people-so don’t expect the friendly Scottish experience here. I didn't want to keep running over to there locked up place to ask for instructions I felt i was too much of an inconvenience. Never again.

We pulled in here after a long day of driving and were immediately made to feel welcome. The room was clean, well equipped, and had an amazing view overlooking the loch outside. We missed dinner as we arrived a bit late, but the breakfast was perfect to set us up for another day of driving.
