I was very disapointed in this hotel, having read such great reviews. The family room we were in (room 6) was dated, and the strength ot the shower was pitiful. The pub food was good, and the setting is beautiful. The hotel was very clean, but was just ok. More

This was the second time I had stayed in the cabins at the back of the hotel (aka 'the wendy houses). Stayed during our travels on the West Highland Way. The cabins themselves have had a spring clean and the cleanliness of them was great. The service in the bar for dinner was excellent, especially the young girl taking the... More

Located in the heart of the West Highlands, we booked three nights at the MacDonald Hotel during our recent trip to Scotland. The hotel was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The food was fantastic. The best part was the people who work in the hotel. They were fantastic! Everyone went out of there way to be helpful. We really enjoyed... More

Everything you could want after several days walking on the West highland Way. Good clean, warm and comfortable rooms; excellent food, friendly staff and a fine bar. Set us well for our last day's walk to Fort William. More

This is about the 6th time we have stayed here, that says it all! Comfy, clean and cosy and the staff couldn't be friendlier. The meals are excellent especially the breakfasts! The view from the Bothy Bar never fails to impress , it is absolutely magnificent! The rooms are a good size and there is always lots of hot water.... More

We stopped here while on the West Highland Way and were delighted with the hotel and restaurant. Our rooms were very comfortable and the beds were great - a brilliant night's sleep was had! We decided to eat in the restaurant and it was delicious! The atmosphere was lovely - warm and inviting - and the food was the best... More

We chanced upon the MacDonald Hotel when we stayed at the Kinlochleven Hostel four years ago. When booking meals for a large group of Winter Hill Walkers it is always difficult to ensure all participants diets are catered for and the calorie content is enough for the winter hills. There was no need to worry as we soon found the... More

This hotel shows what true highland hospitality is. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and the food freshly prepared, NOT microwaved. The Bothy bar has real ale and an excellent selection of whisky. One thing we, as walkers, appreciated was the abundance of hot water and a bath, good mattresses and a peaceful night's sleep....

We stayed in the cabins for a short break in February 2012. The cabins were clean and warm and a great alternative to winter camping - and almost as cheap. Facilities are basic - you'll need your own cooking stuff and there are toilets and hot showers on site a short walk from the cabins. The hotel has sleeping bags... More
