Manager is amazing!!! Indeed he’s undoubtedly the best thing about the hotel and it was lovely to meet him. He worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had everything they needed from reception to bar to maintenance! Great sense of humor, a real asset! However the hotel itself is in dire need of updating!
The food was good and the atmosphere lovely. But the shower was very frugal with the water, the bathroom tiny and the room compact. It just needs a bit of tlc and money spent on it to turn it into a true gem.

We ended up putting dog in car and having breakfast in main dinning room, but by this point bread, juice and cereal was limited. Felt this put a but of a dampner on the stay.

A wonderful time!

My friend and I stayed at Loch Maree Hotel for a night before we went over to the Isle of Skye and our experience was amazing! Duncan was so sweet and funny and made the stay memorable. The views of the lake are beautiful and everyone else staying at the hotel were friendly and loved to chat. The food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast - both great. I wish we could have stayed longer! Next time I'll have to bring a boat that's not filled with water to explore the lake.

The welcome was fantastic

We have travelled and stayed in too many hotels to count. There have so far been 2 that have stood out in our minds as giving excellent service. The Loch Maree has jumped to number one. Duncan who welcomed us, was fantastic. He surpassed any previous number ones! He could not do enough to help and make sure that we were comfortable and had all that we needed. When the Callan, came back from his holiday, he again was lovely, helpful and kind, but Duncan had already taken the top spot. The food was very good. We noticed that some people complained about the lack of choice. It is the end of the season and hotels are closing down, so naturally the choice will be a bit less. Each night there was a couple of different choices, from the night before. Had absolutely no complaint about the food, presentation and flavours.

Unfortunately for us the hotel is under recently appointed new management and there is a lot to work on in terms of general hospitality skills and in particular the dining experience . Dinner menu very limited - appear to be aiming for fine dining but i would argue that most NC500 travellers are not looking for this. Service was very slow to the point of embarassing. Breakfast menu was better but cooked food for 1 of us was cold and therefore not eaten .

Excellent attentive and helpful staff, breakfast was high quality and with plenty of choice. The location on the side of the loch with some incredible views was fantastic. However the hotel has some issues, namely limited or no water pressure. This is recognised by the hotel but does mean that showers are a dribble and don’t bother trying to run a bath. We had a great experience Sea Kayaking but got back to the hotel wet and cold unable to shower properly. We stayed in room 6 and the bathroom is in dire need of an upgrade with the floor Lino lifting in places, the radiator thermostat trapped against the wall and a glass shelf missing above the sink. The old thermostat on the radiator in the bedroom was not attached properly and fell off when adjusted. Both rooms were very clean. The other issue for us was dinner. We were not expecting or informed about the menu until we sat down late evening. Very expensive and limited choice. Fine Dining. It was high quality, well presented but not really for us.

Brown water!!

The best part of this hotel was the view over the Loch
The hotel seemed to be run by only two people one was the chef and the other man was in charge of the reception,bar and served dinner and for all I know probably cleaned the rooms.! he was however very friendly and helpful.
The problems I found with this hotel were that the room was expensive for what you got,I guess you pay extra for the view and also £6 for a bottle of beer is excessive.
One of our main complaints was that the water coming out of the taps was brown and on querying it with the man of many jobs we were told that it came from the Loch and went through filters and was safe for us.Needless to say we did not wash that night.For these reasons I would not recommend using this hotel

We were in a top floor room, basically the attic, on a hot day and warm evening. No fans. No airconditioning. It was very uncomfortable. Halfway through the night we found the bathroom heater on, with no way to turn it off, which had made matters worse. We opened the window to let in some cooler air - a blowfly flew in and buzzed around in the night (no fly screens, no fly spray). The bed creaked, which woke me when I turned over - I ended up putting the mattress on the floor. So I had a pretty poor night's sleep.
The 'shower' was woeful - very little pressure and what looked like tiny shavings of metal (?) came out. I ended up part filling the bath and kneeling to get a full wash.
The hotel says Queen Victoria slept there - what may have been ok in her day is not ok now.
On the plus side, hotel management was polite and welcoming. The evening meal was good, if a little expensive (over 50 pounds for two pastas, one glass of wine and a smoked salmon starter). And the location is excellent. But I would not stay there again.

Having traveled around England and Scotland, we found the staff to be friendly and willing to answer questions with patience and a friendly smil for a foreigner. Not so here.

The bathroom was not very nice. With a tub, handheld shower and a note to only use shower for hair washing. My husband cannot sit in a tub, so that meant no washing for him. The hose and shower head did not look very clean, so none for me either.

The toilet handle was ready to fall off and wouldn’t stop running when flushed. My husband did get it to shut off.

The breakfast was included, but had very little. So different than other places.

So far in our trip, this is the worst place we stayed.
Very disappointed.

The dining room was locked when not serving and it was the only room with a view of the loch ( unless you had a room with a view). No shower, only a bath. Limited WiFi but that was ok’ish.

Great place--only wish I stayed longer

This is place is a gem in a rather remote area. It's right on the lake, so, depending on the room, you can have a tremendous view right out of your window. It's well-located to nature and the best hiking in Scotland. The married couple that runs the place is very helpful and makes a very tasty breakfast. The hotel is a bit dated, especially in the bathroom, but that's also part of its charm--it's an old-timey hotel in a very scenic area.

Honestly, do not book this place!

Unclean, really unclean! In this Covid era, it makes you worry, what has been cleaned - am I safe here? Slept so badly as a result!
Pubic hair on the floor of bathroom and smears on all the tiles... gross!

Not as described at all...

There was no shower in the ensuite (only a bath with a hand held shower) which you were told was only for hair washing, so no shower curtain provided - if you did want to risk it, you couldn't get hot and cold water mixed, so could choose only hot or cold water. Water not available at certain times, if everyone used the water.

WIFI available in downstairs area only (not in the room) the communal areas were really uncomfortable and not somewhere I would spend time, so just read my book in the dirty room.

Staff attitude is focused on their needs, not yours - if you want dinner, you have to choose and pre order (I had not seen a menu) and it is only served between 6-7pm. We checked in at 5.55pm. Breakfast has to be pre- ordered, everything has to be settled by 10pm. This is fine for smaller establishments, but you really felt like a cash cow - there to deliver only one thing, rent!

Honestly avoid!

I will be asking for a refund for my £125!

The stunning location and character of the hotel lift the rating. The current guest experience is definitely not maximised. Our room was quite basic (room 1) but cosy. It has a comfortable bed but being the only room above the kitchen extractor fan probably makes it the noisiest. If you can deal with the distraction, the view is second to none.

Great view of the Loch and Mountains from the room, but there are front rooms as well that will not have the view. Room was comfortable and relatively modern in style. The whole hotel appeared to have relatively new double glazing installed. We enjoyed the four days, but day time was spent mostly out and about. Internet only in public areas, and TV was a but snowy, but you are in the middle of the Mountains on all sides, and if TV is what you want, then do not go!

We stayed June/July 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Loch Maree. Luckily we didn't see the negative reviews until we were on our way to the hotel, otherwise, we may not have booked a stay.

When we arrived we received a nice welcome from the owner, and to our surprise, an upgrade to a double bed, as one of the rooms had just come available. (Originally booked 2 twin beds)

The room was gorgeous and overlooking the loch.

The setting of this hotel is perfect if you want to completely switch off, we enjoyed having a morning coffee and an evening whisky on the seats in front of the loch.

Positives
Location - Breathtaking views
Food - Breakfast and dinner was nice
Room - A really good size

Negatives/Improvements
- Wifi - It is only available in the reception or bar area
- Check-in ends at 6 - Considering you are travelling around the highlands, ending your day at 6 pm seems a waste. If you miss 6 pm, then you may miss dinner, as you have to order before 6 pm

If we were to return to the area, then we would definitely look to stay again, I imagine it will be an even better stay if there are more staff and the bar is open

I booked this hotel because of its location (room booked was ‘Loch view’) and it’s gothic look. The whole place feels rather tired and in need of some rejuvenation and as a result didn’t feel like value for money. Our room at the top of the building had a huge bathroom most of which was unused. The space would have easily accommodated a shower (water saving) as an alternative to the bath which took 20 minutes to half fill with water that was then brown in colour. The breakfast was plentiful and well cooked and the dining room well appointed with lovely views over the Loch. The 2 owners seemed to be the only staff and as a result came across as a little harried. Drinks bills had to be settled at the time of purchase and room bills the day before leaving which all meant that it wasnt as relaxing a stay as I had hoped. The hotel is in a good location and could offer a great highland experience but i feel new investment and fresh ideas would be needed to do this.

Need more interaction

It was ok but found no interaction with guests. After a long day travelling we were not greeted with a warm welcome if you said 'welcome and hope you enjoy your stay' it was more 'choose your evening meal then choose your breakfast and time'. Then can you pay as we are short-staffed. Not even a good morning at breakfast as the lady was speaking to someone else so she pointed to our seat. Just put plates in front of us and never asked if we wanted more eg coffee. What are your plans today? We just left the hotel without seeing them. I would have been interested in the history, the photos on the wall, the deer in the garden and the water from the hills. A little bit of friendliness would be good. This was our 5th hotel in 5 days so interesting how first impressions count. We had a problem with our light which was promptly attended to.

Had a 4 night stay, in July, ended up being a great choice.

The owners Raymond & Caroline are really friendly. Their staff are great too, especially Ruth, who was friendly and approachable (which helped as she was at the bar).

Rooms are more than adequate, and comfortable enough. I did have a bit of a struggle finding my room at first, but got there in the end :).

The meals are what makes this place stand out. The food, which was cooked by Raymond and his grandson Jack, was amazing! Have to say, Jack's Haggis was a clear winner, sorry Raymond :).

There is only one downside. Those darn midges out the back! It is next to a Loch though! Actually wasn't too bad, but I did have a repellent. Sitting outside with a pint, and the view you get, cant complain.

If up that way again, I will definitely consider staying here. I would highly recommend it.

Route 500 stay

Hotel is very old fashioned and bedrooms in need of upgrading. Food is overpriced for what is little more than home cooked food.

I know it's the Highlands before anyone bangs on about that, but it's 2019 and people in Iraq can get decent WiFi so a hotel in Scotland should be able to, and theirs is absolutely terrible. Only works slowly in the bar itself. It's it a ploy to stop people going to their room to use it and not buying drinks? Please don't blame mountains because I think, I THINK, Switzerland has bigger ones and still had WiFi. Also 'evening' meal from 18.00 - 19.15! Get a grip! Who eats that early? Not many apparently and the atmosphere therefore was dead! I felt like I was in The Shining. Could be sooo much better!

Service is awful, not accommodating or friendly. Seemed annoyed to have to be “dealing” with us. They tout their Wi-Fi but it’s questionable at best. Rooms are archaic and outdated - no curtain for the shower, and a TV with 2-3 channels only. Unable to deadbolt doors which was concerning. Only picked this place because it was available for online booking, but would recommend others find a BnB on Skye.

Loch Maree Hotel stay

We arrived late and they reopened the kitchen and gave us a tasty supper. Hardworking, friendly and funny people. Would stay again.

2nd night of the NC500 and we stayed at the Loch Maree hotel. Quiet and out of the way (huge positive) with a lovely relaxed feel to the place.
Food in the hotel was excellent and after dinner drinks were enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the Loch.

Wonderful rooms full of character and a hearty breakfast to send us on our way. A little more expensive than your average B&B but it's worth every penny.

A lovely building on the edge of a beautiful loch. Not a nice room up 2 flights of stairs. A terrible bathroom. Not particularly clean. Not a friendly atmosphere. Quite expensive. Expensive food and drink. Very disappointing. This place needs caring staff.

Bar area had been taken over as owner's office.
Lounge fire was unlit even though it was 5 degrees outside. We were told \"the fire is not lit in summer\".
Double bedroom was very small. Hardly any room around the bed.
Ensuite had a bath with a hand held shower attachment. No shower curtain or panel which might have at least allowed a stand up shower.
Noise insulation in room was very poor.
Dinner was mediocre, breakfast was quite good.
No draught beers or lagers in the bar.

Front desk and food waiter were very nice and friendly. Breakfast was good. I stayed on top floor, with a small window view of lake. The shower water pressure was terrible and the worst temp gauge ever. It was either very very hot or very very cold. I would stay here again only if they fixed that. I could only get WiFi in the lobby

Stay just for the location!

The location is stunning - the lake was so still and quiet it was like a mirror lake. Had a deer visit us in the morning when we were in the garden! Friendly staff. Hotel is a bit tired but the rooms were clean. Dinner was good home cooking.

Great view but outdated rooms

At a first glance this hotel should be amazing. Great back yard overlooking the loch with a deer or two wandering around. Yet besides that view the rooms are quite old. The shower didn't drain well and the general feeling was that it was just not clean enough.
Besides that everyone who considers this hotel should know the WiFi there usually not working, so don't count on it.
Conclusion, for one night it was bearable for more find elsewhere.
