The cottage did not have comfy beds. The bathroom had pink mould in the shower, bugs and dust on ledges. Restaurant was very over priced for what the food was and the service was terrible. Staff spent most of the time talking at the bar instead of waiting tables. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks and dessert took 25 minutes and we had to ask about it and threaten to walk out before it finally arrived. Also no one asked how our dinner or our stay was. Will never stay again.

The hotel was nice and is located right on Loch Linnhe that had gorgeous views. Room was cozy, our window wouldn't properly seal so it got a little chilly in the evening time. The staff were great in accommodating for our transportation mishap where there was a scheduling issue with the buses and we were able to sit in the comfort of the lounge while waiting for the next one.

Avoid!

Terrible. When we booked it was originally supposed to be myself and my partner however we decided to take one of our children on our trip, we phoned a week in advance to add him to the booking where we were told there was no family rooms but they would be able to put an extra bed into the room at a charge, this seemed reasonable and we agreed. When we checked in the hotel room they took extra money from us and gave us our keys, we went to the room and the ceiling was covered in large cracks and damp of the ceiling presumably from a leak the overall cleanliness was pretty awful and to our surprise no extra bed. We went down to reception to be told that there was no extra beds at the property and that we were told we had to share a double bed, (2 adults and 7 year old child). They made me out to be a liar and stated that I had agreed to this on the phone, which I absolutely never. We queried why we would be charged extra to share a bed and the man on reception agreed. We couldn’t stay at the property for obvious reasons. We contacted hotels.com immediately who advocated for a refund but the hotel simply refused. We are now out of pocket for the original stay plus for accommodation we had to book for that evening as we were 4 hours away from home, late in the afternoon with a young child. Avoid this place at all costs. They will make you feel like a liar and give sub service.

POD was decent, but small. That brought some challenges including cleanliness and just moving around. Food was good at restaurant, however one night it took an hour and 20 min to get food after order. This is personal record. I guess they missed that we had two kids.

The Onich Hotel

The hotel is getting some exterior work done at the moment. The staff were really nice. The food was very good but a bit over priced I thought. The views were great too. The room was clean but the toilet was very cramped to use the loo next to the shower but you can only work with the space you have.

Let’s start with the positive: the hotel location is perfect for access to Glencoe/Ft William. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. You could spend the whole day walking on the easily accessible beach. The staff was very kind and attentive. Our stay was great… until it wasn’t. We were only there for one night. As the previous reviews had stated, the hotel is dated and could use some work, b it we knew that going in. They are refurbishing the outside, which did not impact our stay at all. Absolutely no noise from the construction work. I planned our trip for one year and relied heavily on the reviews of previous travelers. I hate to do this but I need to note that I have concerns with the hygiene of the place. I got in the shower one hour before check out. The shower had not been cleaned. I know this because of the used bar of soap and transdermal medical patch of the previous occupant was sitting on top of the shampoo dispenser. It literally made me sick and then I started noticing other things in the room and could not get out of that room quick enough. The location cannot be beat but the price is too high. Breakfast is not included and basic hygiene is overlooked. For £50 less per night i probably would it have even mentioned it but i feel they are promoting a luxurious experience but the staff cuts corners in operational costs.

It was fine. The rooms were very college dorm like (at least like American dorms) and were relatively clean. The bathroom shower stall was not cleaned super well- black in the corners. The bathrooms have been updated which was nice and the property is directly on the loch so you can go sit on the pebble beach and put your feet in the water whenever you want! It is on a main road though and the room I was in was at the front of the building and SO LOUD. I could hear every car. The walls are also very thin. After dinner service each night, it sounded like someone was throwing a temper tantrum and crashing plates and bins into sink for an hour. Made it hard to sleep with that, the traffic, and hearing my room neighbor's every move. I think the beach pods would be very nice but the rooms in the hotel are just okay. The food was good. The curry smelled great when other tables got it! And the staff was very friendly and worked hard. My server at the restaurant was also the housekeeper! They definitely keep busy! Overall- decent place to stay and close to Ben Nevis if your want to hike while you're there. Convenient location just bring earplugs.

Brilliant location, right on the edge of the loch. Property is undergoing refurbishment, bedrooms need more work, but restaurant was very good and the food was amazing. Good parking and deck to sit on for drinks overlooking the loch. Improved rooms would make the hotel amazing. Very accomodating staff.

Awful. Room was tiny, mouldy, dirty, smelled horrible. Food took over 1 hour to arrive, no comments or apologies or explanations from staff. When it arrived, it was terrible food, we politely explained we were unhappy. This caused merry hell. The restaurant manager and the hotel manager were both aggressive, hostile and frankly scary. We left the hotel at 9.30pm with a 2 hour drive home. Was better than staying there. Do not stay here. Awful.

The shower drain had brown stuff coming out of it during the shower, the hot water was inconsistent, the toilet seat was broken and the pillows were lumpy. We had a loch view room, which was the only thing redeeming this hotel, as the view was beautiful. The food at the restaurant was fine but overall, an underwhelming stay.
