Loch Maree Hotel

Really lovely hotel with cosy lounge with open fire-perfect venue for colder autumn nights. Room was lovely and everywhere seemed freshly painted. Food was good with large portions. Beautiful view and well worth staying for a few days. Very much the Victorian country house hotel.

It is in a beautiful location. The Manager was extremely helpful and friendly but he was the only member of staff front of house. It has just been taken over so hopefully things will improve. The whole place was tired and needs some TLC.

A fabulous location for a hotel that is going to be a huge success. The rooms need a bit of updating but were comfortable and had a great nights sleep. Food was fabulous and the manager/bellboy/waiter/receptionist/barman was a pleasure to deal with. His service and attention to detail was absolutely first class

The best part of this hotel was the view over the Loch The hotel seemed to be run by only two people one was the chef and the other man was in charge of the reception,bar and served dinner and for all I know probably cleaned the rooms.! he was however very friendly and helpful. The problems I found with this hotel were that the room was expensive for what you got,I guess you pay extra for the view and also £6 for a bottle of beer is excessive. One of our main complaints was that the water coming out of the taps was brown and on querying it with the man of many jobs we were told that it came from the Loch and went through filters and was safe for us.Needless to say we did not wash that night.For these reasons I would not recommend using this hotel

We were in a top floor room, basically the attic, on a hot day and warm evening. No fans. No airconditioning. It was very uncomfortable. Halfway through the night we found the bathroom heater on, with no way to turn it off, which had made matters worse. We opened the window to let in some cooler air - a blowfly flew in and buzzed around in the night (no fly screens, no fly spray). The bed creaked, which woke me when I turned over - I ended up putting the mattress on the floor. So I had a pretty poor night's sleep. The 'shower' was woeful - very little pressure and what looked like tiny shavings of metal (?) came out. I ended up part filling the bath and kneeling to get a full wash. The hotel says Queen Victoria slept there - what may have been ok in her day is not ok now. On the plus side, hotel management was polite and welcoming. The evening meal was good, if a little expensive (over 50 pounds for two pastas, one glass of wine and a smoked salmon starter). And the location is excellent. But I would not stay there again.

Having traveled around England and Scotland, we found the staff to be friendly and willing to answer questions with patience and a friendly smil for a foreigner. Not so here. The bathroom was not very nice. With a tub, handheld shower and a note to only use shower for hair washing. My husband cannot sit in a tub, so that meant no washing for him. The hose and shower head did not look very clean, so none for me either. The toilet handle was ready to fall off and wouldn’t stop running when flushed. My husband did get it to shut off. The breakfast was included, but had very little. So different than other places. So far in our trip, this is the worst place we stayed. Very disappointed.

The location is wonderful in front of the lake and the traditional house is very cozy. Dinner was quite expensive but quality should be improved.

At first look, hotel looks great ,it lays in an beautiful area. But when you get in reality hits you, these owners don’t want to run this hotel anymore. That how they act the room is Oké, for one night, to stay couple days I wouldn’t recommend it. Bathroom is like the reviews say, so outdated you only have a Bath with a Handshower. But the worst thing for us was the dinner. You had to pre order what was on the menu, that isn’t that bad. But the dinnertime was between 6:00-7:00 pm. And everyone got the starter and main meal in that time.. the only thing you could hear was the microwave out of the kitchen. Hard to miss, food tasted as so, morning breakfast was oké, everything had to preordered. But ther wher No Gluten-free things at all. We wouldn’t stay here again This is our worst hotel, in our NC500 Trip

I didn’t find the owners to be very friendly. They had rules & an unusual way of running the hotel. The dining room was locked when not serving and it was the only room with a view of the loch ( unless you had a room with a view). No shower, only a bath. Limited WiFi but that was ok’ish. Food was limited & average. The breakfast was just ok. No choice of egg, fried and oily.
