This hotel is in a beautiful yet convenient location, if driving, just off the main road to/from Glencoe. It was peaceful with a stunning outlook, which you get the full view of from the restaurant. We had the family room, which was spacious but didn’t have the benefit of the good view. The room was lovely but the shower was not hot so we were given a key to another room to use the electric shower there. The shower was a mains sourced one and the boiler had just been serviced so hadn’t heated the tank up by the time we needed the shower on arrival. The room was warm and comfortable otherwise. We ate here and the food was excellent. The breakfast was very good too with the beautiful view an added bonus. Highly recommend this lovely hotel.

What truly made our Scotland trip was the gin tour. The owner gave us the tour and shared his passion for Gin. Never liked Gin till I came here! The hotel was old and the room was very small but it served it purpose. Be sure to book dinner as dining options are scarce in the area and it’s a bit of a drive. The food was good and the quaint bar that they had was outstanding. The bartender knew his craft and suggested drinks that suited our tastes and was very cozy with the fireplace lit.

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.

Hotel was good not great!

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!

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!
