Overall Ratings & Reviews Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery

Beautiful location and friendly staff, however, this is a very dated hotel and is not worth the roughly 340 GBP per night that we paid. We stayed in what is supposed to be one of their nicer rooms - the deluxe double. The room felt very dated, and not in a good way. No hair dryer or telephone in the room either. Small and uncomfortable shower. Toilet squished against a wall. Bed was comfortable at least. We had dessert in the restaurant in the evening which was very good, but breakfast was poor. The scrambled eggs were tasteless. While not a terrible hotel, a very poor value for the price.

Conditions of the building and the room were shabby and in need of much needed updating. The shower was not much bigger than one you would find in an RV. The views from the restaurant are beautiful, but not spectacular enough to make up for the exorbitant price per night. This is the one accommodation I regret booking out of the five I made for our nine-day tour of Scotland.

My mom and I vacationed for 2 weeks in Scotland. We stayed at 8 different small hotels, inns and airbnbs all in the same price range as Loch Levan Hotel. They were all simple, clean and comfortable with kind and accommodating hosts. The Loch Levan hotel was our last stay in Scotland and the worst accommodations I have had anywhere in the world in the past 20 years. Upon arrival we noticed that the room was very hot and very dirty but after a full day of travel from the Isle of Skye, we decided to just ignore it, go to bed and address it with management in the morning. That was a mistake….The beds were so uncomfortable that you could feel the springs in them. The bathroom was filthy, hair in the drain and covered in mold. The room smelled of room perfume, likely to cover up the smell of mold, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and there were cobwebs in the room as well. It literally felt like we were staying in an animal stable or a bad hostel. The next morning I asked if we could move rooms into something cleaner and a newer bed for our 2nd night. We were told that there was no other rooms. We could not stay another night in the room. We asked for our money back for the second night since we were going to have to check out and find new accommodations. I was told to email management for a refund request. I sent multiple emails with NO REPLY. I contacted hotels.com to file a grievance and they too were unable to get ahold of anyone. Find another place to stay. ANYWHERE would be better.

Stephen server and receptionist was wonderful and a really enjoyable

Room was not very clean….there was dust everywhere and a spider in the room. Bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were old and flat. We paid way too much in comparison to the other 7 hotels we stayed at. Food in the restaurant was excellent however. Would definitely recommend eating there!

The dinners were fabulous … Found the location a bit out of the way for exploring . Especially with an 11 year old .. Had to drive to every place …

Lovely one night stay.

Quaint little hotel in beautiful Glencoe. We enjoyed our stay

Our room was comfortable and quiet…except the squeaky floor, but c’mon, the place was built in 1700. The staff was fantastic. Stefan was the check in guy, and the bartender. He was super friendly and helpful, and had a great sense of humor! The food was delicious. We had the lamb shank and burger one night, along with breakfast the next morning. We had the fish and chips, and the burger the 2nd night, all of which were fantastic! The bar…the bar is the reason we booked, and it didn’t disappoint! We drank and chatted with the other customers both evenings and tried different whiskeys. We had great conversations with people from the US, England, Germany, and of course, the bartender, Stephan from Italy!

Glencoe is lovely and this property is very convenient to visiting sites, but the condition of the room was unacceptable.

The hotel is in a beautiful place but seriously needs updating. The bed was teh most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. It was broken and on a slant that stopped any real attempt at sleep. The room was tatty and tired and the sink didn't drain properly. For teh ammount charged one would expect at least a working bed

Great location fun staff

The views from the hotel was stunning which is most of what you are paying for. The hotel seemed maintained enough and the game room was cool. The food we got was mediocre at best.

Great view. Comfortable room and was large, though not sure all are the same. Dinner was probably best of the trip, though you need reservations as they only seem to seat a few at a time. Bar was also nice. Had good weather so the deck was nice too. Included breakfast, but that didn't start until 8 which was too late for our schedule. You can walk down to the old ferry landing and also a trail along the water.

Das Zimmer war sehr klein, ungemütlich und nicht mehr zeitgerecht. Die Dusche war zu eng. Insgesamt kaum möglich 2 Koffer aufzustellen. Das Frühstück war gut und sehr englisch. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich.

Great location for exploring Glen Coe. Attentive staff. Difficulty controlling shower temperature. Full Scottish breakfast.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. good food, great parking and a lovely touch of Scottish charm

A beautiful place and lovely staff. Well worth a visit. The bar staff are also excellent.

The shower did not work. There was very minimal water pressure and the temperature could not be controlled. I contacted the man on staff that day who I think was the manager but was lying saying he wasn’t and he came to the room and could not fix it. He couldn’t get anyone out to fix it and did not offer us a stay in a different room or anything. They gave us 40 pounds off of our dinner but that’s just not good enough for not having a shower to use during our stay. When I approached the man about it he was very rude to my wife and I and just rushed us away. I have tried many times to contact mamagement through email and phone calls and have not heard anything back even though they said someone will get in touch with me. This is Terrible business practice and the facility should probably be shut down until they can provide basic stay needs.

The first hotel I’ve stayed at where the manager actively offered a lesson on whiskies and how to enjoy them
