Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery

Amazing Views, good food

Breakfast was delicious and staff were friendly. The views were spectacular as well! Beds were comfy and rooms extremely clean. I would highly recommend this place.

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

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.

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.

The hotel has a good and scenic location. The room was old and uncomfortable. There was a weird smell in the bathroom. But we only stayed overnight thankfully. The diner was good. Staff was friendly.

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!

It was relaxing

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.

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!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The hotel is intimate and quaint. The staff were nice and out going as well.

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.

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.

Comfy , friendly, nice setting

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.

My sister and I stayed here for several days in early June and it was amazing. The views, the little path down to the water, the food- all of it.

Great quiet spot with a fantastic onsite restaurant and bar and amazing views.

The hospitality was wonderful and the manager even played chess with our son. He was very engaging and friendly throughout our stay. The room was clean and cozily decorated. Our son was fine on the pull out couch.

We enjoyed this stay a lot. The restaurant food was amazing. Only issue was internet not available in our room and ran out of hot water by evening.

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.

Conditions of the building and the room were shabby and in need of much needed updating. The shower was not much bigger than one you would find in an RV. The views from the restaurant are beautiful, but not spectacular enough to make up for the exorbitant price per night. This is the one accommodation I regret booking out of the five I made for our nine-day tour of Scotland.

My mom and I vacationed for 2 weeks in Scotland. We stayed at 8 different small hotels, inns and airbnbs all in the same price range as Loch Levan Hotel. They were all simple, clean and comfortable with kind and accommodating hosts. The Loch Levan hotel was our last stay in Scotland and the worst accommodations I have had anywhere in the world in the past 20 years. Upon arrival we noticed that the room was very hot and very dirty but after a full day of travel from the Isle of Skye, we decided to just ignore it, go to bed and address it with management in the morning. That was a mistake….The beds were so uncomfortable that you could feel the springs in them. The bathroom was filthy, hair in the drain and covered in mold. The room smelled of room perfume, likely to cover up the smell of mold, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and there were cobwebs in the room as well. It literally felt like we were staying in an animal stable or a bad hostel. The next morning I asked if we could move rooms into something cleaner and a newer bed for our 2nd night. We were told that there was no other rooms. We could not stay another night in the room. We asked for our money back for the second night since we were going to have to check out and find new accommodations. I was told to email management for a refund request. I sent multiple emails with NO REPLY. I contacted hotels.com to file a grievance and they too were unable to get ahold of anyone. Find another place to stay. ANYWHERE would be better.

Stephen server and receptionist was wonderful and a really enjoyable

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 dinners were fabulous … Found the location a bit out of the way for exploring . Especially with an 11 year old .. Had to drive to every place …

Lovely one night stay.

Quaint little hotel in beautiful Glencoe. We enjoyed our stay

Our room was comfortable and quiet…except the squeaky floor, but c’mon, the place was built in 1700. The staff was fantastic. Stefan was the check in guy, and the bartender. He was super friendly and helpful, and had a great sense of humor! The food was delicious. We had the lamb shank and burger one night, along with breakfast the next morning. We had the fish and chips, and the burger the 2nd night, all of which were fantastic! The bar…the bar is the reason we booked, and it didn’t disappoint! We drank and chatted with the other customers both evenings and tried different whiskeys. We had great conversations with people from the US, England, Germany, and of course, the bartender, Stephan from Italy!

Glencoe is lovely and this property is very convenient to visiting sites, but the condition of the room was unacceptable.

The hotel is in a beautiful place but seriously needs updating. The bed was teh most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. It was broken and on a slant that stopped any real attempt at sleep. The room was tatty and tired and the sink didn't drain properly. For teh ammount charged one would expect at least a working bed

Great location fun staff

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.

Great view. Comfortable room and was large, though not sure all are the same. Dinner was probably best of the trip, though you need reservations as they only seem to seat a few at a time. Bar was also nice. Had good weather so the deck was nice too. Included breakfast, but that didn't start until 8 which was too late for our schedule. You can walk down to the old ferry landing and also a trail along the water.

Great location for exploring Glen Coe. Attentive staff. Difficulty controlling shower temperature. Full Scottish breakfast.

Das Zimmer war sehr klein, ungemütlich und nicht mehr zeitgerecht. Die Dusche war zu eng. Insgesamt kaum möglich 2 Koffer aufzustellen. Das Frühstück war gut und sehr englisch. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich.

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

A beautiful place and lovely staff. Well worth a visit. The bar staff are also excellent.

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.

While the staff, service and restaurant were all wonderful, the rooms left a lot to be desired. The carpet in our room was coming up, our bed was slanted and uncomfortable and our toilet ran an exceptionally long time after flushing. We would gladly recommend the bar and restaurant to anyone, but the rooms could use an upgrade for the price paid

The first hotel I’ve stayed at where the manager actively offered a lesson on whiskies and how to enjoy them

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.

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

We had an excellent stay. Good food, drinks, and location. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stop. Highly recommend the gin. Staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Beautiful garden as well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone passing through.

Gorgeous setting for a hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel. The manager was very helpful and inviting. He recommended a lovely walk along the loch after dinner which was a great setting for sunset photographs. The bar is well stocked and they offered their own gin which was quite good.

Beautiful views, quaint rooms, lovely staff, delicious breakfast

The food at Loch Leven Hotel was outstanding.

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.

Great country stay, views from the dining room at sunset are stunning.

Enjoyed stay

This staff have an attitude problem also via Expedia it was agreed that I could pay at the hotel despite the hotel took for money by my credit card. I complained to Expedia and they told me to speak to Hotel and Hotel said the policy was to take the money upfront so the two don’t tie up! When I when I was served porridge I realised they didn’t have a spoon so I asked to wait and he told me to go and get it from the counter not what I expect when I’m paying 5 star prices. The taps loose and in the evening for Charles hot water was lukewarm at best

A lovely hotel with beautiful views

Nice restaurant with great view. Hotel and rooms need updates.

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!!!

Lots of narrow stairs to climb with suitcases. Otherwise lovely older property.

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.

Nice place

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.

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

Really enjoyed break bar very relaxing eith a lovely open fire was very relaxing and all staff very friendly and helpful

Wonderful stay, attentive staff.

fantastic location, Incredable views. Food was amazing, we had dinner and breaKfast, Try the their Jin!! Staff was helpful, kind and enjoyable. Can't wait to go back.

Location is amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The condition of the rooms didn’t quite resemble the pictures.

Craig & staff were warm & welcoming. Wonderful pub & great dining. Rooms were classic ! Would recommend and stay here again

Arrived just before Storm Ashley hit so it was lovely to be inside and cosy whilst the storm raged outside. Staff were really helpful and friendly with us and our dog. Enjoyed a delicious meal with particularly delicious desserts of sticky toffee pudding, cheesecake & tablet icecream

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

Great!

Beautiful views from our room. Evening meal good, breakfast more than enough. Friendly staff lovely location.

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.

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.

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

Very dated hotel and not in a good way. Creaky floors, layers of pain. Looked tired and worn. A massive pothole in the driveway leading in was invisible at night and nearly broke my car. Staff were friendly and food was good so a mixed bag.

The staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful, with great ideas about things to see/doo in the area.

An all too brief one night stay. Great location, lovely Pod room, cosy bar, great food with local choices and welcoming hosts. Very lovely and easy.

Good restaurant and bar area with views of the loch and sunset

Nice place

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.

We enjoyed staying here. View was beautiful. Hotel has bar and restaurant so once you arrive you don’t have to leave.

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

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!

The restaurant service was excellent! The property is a little worse for the wear and was chilly. Bed mattress a little thin although bedding was nice. Mostly it was overpriced.

Beautiful property, cozy and comfortable rooms, good dining options in a beautiful setting.

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.

We loved our stay at the Loch Leven Hotel! The views are absolutely stunning and our room was great. Thank you for having us!

Paul and entire staff most helpful and engaging. Cuisine very well prepared

I love this Hotel. The staff were amazing. Paul and Nick were especially welcoming and reassuring and provided great assistance and ensured our stay was wonderful. I highly recommend this establishment for one or several nights stay. Room accommodations were clean and comfortable. There was a lovely welcome gift in the room as well as tea and coffee and cookies. Breakfast was both buffet and cooked to order every morning. The lounge areas were cozy and comfortable. Rooms had lovely views of the Loch as did the Dining room. Bar area was welcoming and well stocked. I don’t have enough words to express how much we enjoyed our stay at Loch Leven Hotel. Thank you !!

loved this place so much! The stuff was so friendly <3

Property was tired. Small single bed with loose headboard. Restaurant was very good if a little pricey

Charming and quiet. A delightful property with beautiful views of Loch Leven. Such a nice retreat that includes a restaurant with delicious entrees and a bar and distillery with exceptional gin. My only regret is not spending more time there.

The room was a bit outdated but the restaurant and bar were nice and the staff were friendly. The location is good, but not much else around it until you reach Fort William.

Gorgeous location. Everyone was lovely and helpful.

Loved the views, loved the service; great food.

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.

Very overpriced. Very disappointed. Shabby and run down. Stained very worn carpets, patched up and peeling wall paper. What looked like a good sized bed was 2 singles put together. Old mattress and lumpy old pillows. Basic bathroom. Outdoor area not kept well and overgrown. Absolutely no views at all. The one good bit was a well cooked evening meal and female server. Breakfast poor very limited choice. Think the owners had checked out!

Such a delightful stay. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff cheerful, courteous and helpful. The restaurant food was delicious and well prepared. And the view! Stunning!

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!

This is a very tired hotel at a very nice location. How they got 3 1/2 stars is a complete mystery to me (linoleum floor in the bathroom rolling up, mattresses which should have been replaced a long time ago, all furniture and carpets dingy and worn out). I still cannot believe we paid what we paid for that room. To end with some positive comments, their little bar area has a nice atmosphere and the staff was very friendly.

Very, nice quaint hotel, wonderful restaurant and service. A real experience of Scottish hospitality with spectacular views. only downside no elevator to help get bags up the stairs but not a real issue.

Very nice staff and service. The bed was small but did the job,

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were very nice, dinner at the restaurant was excellent and we really enjoyed a few beverages at the bar. The grounds were pretty being right on the river. Our room was spacious and pretty comfortable, though at the price point for the room, felt that the amenities could use some love and attention. Even just better pillows and small refurbishments upgrades would make a big difference. We’d definitely consider staying again, but would compare against what else is available in the area.

Lovely location and very accommodating staff.
