Book Ballachulish Bed & Breakfast

"Our overall impression of this hotel is poor. On the positive side, the location is excellent and very convenient for getting around. Breakfast is acceptable, with a reasonable selection, and the staff in the breakfast area are friendly and welcoming. However, the overall condition of the hotel feels tired and in need of investment. While reception staff are polite at check-in, there is limited engagement beyond that. The room doesn’t quite match expectations from the advertised photos, particularly those showing sea views. Our window has metal screws in the frame to prevent it from opening too far, the curtains are noticeably sun bleached, and there are maintenance issues such as a leaking bath and damaged plaster. We also suspect the room may previously have accommodated pets, as my husband, who has mild allergies, experiences some discomfort with his asthma during the stay. When we request an iron and ironing board, these arrive without a cover for the board, so we have to improvise by using a towel. Another point to note is the £10 per day charge for on-site parking, which is limited and feels cheeky given you’re already paying for the room. Overall, you can see that this hotel was likely excellent in its prime and still has potential, but at present it feels like it would benefit from some significant refurbishment."

"Property could use a refresh. Staff wonderful. Breakfast was good"

"Beautiful property with rooms facing the water. Only negative was service in dining room was very very slow. Could have been because short staffed just before High season"

"Room a little small but enough for a few nights stay, really comfy bed, breakfast options were amazing and very comfy breakfast area, staff were really helpful and it’s in a great location"

"Lovely place, great breakfast, amazing for kids! And the food - the chef was a stand-out, chatting to us about what we wanted and he definitely delivered. Would 100% stay again."

"Parking was easy. The entire property is very very dated. There was mold in the shower and the carpet was ripped in the room. The view was great. "

"I had to question if I had been given a superior room as it was small with very little good to say about it. I spend a lot of time in hotels travelling with work and I pay £120-£140 per night and have stoped in some fabulous places with good fixtures and fittings. This hotel is very run down and in need of a lot of refurb. The shower head leaked badly. The water from the shower didn’t get hot but the sink next to it did. I asked to be moved rooms and I ended up with a room with terribly creaky floorboards, shower head no better in the new room and all the fixtures and walls in need of repair or replacement. I enjoyed dinner and the service was quick and good. "

"Lovely inn and such a great place. "

"We had a pleasant stay at this hotel largely part to it's location. Perfect for exploring the area and hiking Ben Nevis, The breakfast was a standout. With plenty of options and a great start to each day, The staff was friendly and accommodating, always happy to help and mad us feel welcome. The hotel itself could benefit from some updating. They might have already begun to do so as our bathroom was refreshed and new but the rest of the room was quite dated but clean."
