    The Lime Tree - Silly Goose cocktail at Silly Goose restaurant in Lime Tree Hotel

    A true hidden gem!! I'm not sure who finds themselves out in this part of Scotland. It's a less…read morebusy part of town, but it seems like a perfect, quite stop for couples wanting a countryside vacation, hikers who love the thrill of the mountains or those just seeking a little refuge from the city. We planned to stay nearby in Glencoe and looked for a restaurant. The internet had little advice to offer but this restaurant came up multiple times with glowing reviews. Silly Goose is located in the Lime Tree Inn and it's pure perfection! We were greeted kindly and welcomed into the cozy dining space. Spacious but very romantic. We started with drinks enjoying local gin and whiskey. My husband got to try the Sassenach that he'd been eyeing! For dinner, we got the ribeye and chicken. We were so impressed with how well these were cooked. So soft and moist! We were too full for dessert but they had a nice menu of options. The restaurant is spectacular and worth the visit if you are in the area. Be sure to make a reservation as they did have to turn folks away!

    Wonderful two-night stay in this old manse. We had rooms one and five, both with views of Loch…read moreLinnhe. Room one on the first floor was a bit more spacious with a settee as well as a separate tub and walk-in shower. Room five was on the top floor up two flights of a curving staircase. Fortunately we discovered if you park around back there is a back door you can load suitcases out from. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Dinner was especially impressive with upscale playing and exquisite entrees and desserts. All the staff we encountered were helpful, patient and kind.

The location was excellent, centrally located just outside of town and a short drive to Glenfinnan, Ben Nevis and Glencoe. Our room had an amazing view of the loch across the street that was absolutely beautiful. The staff was great, room was clean, the property was well maintained and the restaurant was excellent.

    I kinda wanted to give this place a better final score. The staff are nice and hospitable, and the…read moreprices are definitely reasonable. It's a fairly large hotel amongst the many B&Bs outside of Fort William. Our rooms are a little noisy until 10pm or so. We asked for a room with a view and ended up with half of one obscured by the lounge/bar building. Room is compact but serviceable. The common rooms, however, are very relaxing to just sit and enjoy the Loch in the setting/morning sun. Nautical maps abound, and there are a couple of topological maps if you are considering a walk in the nearby Glens the next day (of course, you should *actually* acquire one should you do so). The food is, ah, conventional. We went for venison burgers and vension sausages (sauces a little salty), and enjoyed them without anything worthy of special mention. Except the goat cheese, which turned out quite blue-vein. It's as if the meat itself lack that game taste a venison should ideally have, and they're making up for it with the other ingredients.

HARRY POTTER FANS, listen up: This hotel is WALKING DISTANCE from the Harry Potter Bridge here in Glenfinnan. You know the one. FLying car, chamber of secrets, Hogwarts express? Yeah, that's right!! NOT ONLY THAT, but it is right on Lock Shiel which, in addition to being absolutely stunning, is the lake that Hogwarts is on. Compare pictures to this lake to photos from the second task(mermaids) from Goblet of Fire....you will SCREAM! Enough about Harry Potter. This hotel is quaint, homey, and incredibly warm and lively. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure that your needs and desires are met. From the included breakfast every morning to the offering of packed lunches for your daily hikes the team here is a cut above the rest. The rooms are large with beautifully updated, modern washrooms and showers. The tea kettles and assortment of coffee and teas(in room) are brilliant and the perfect touch. The main dining area/restaurant is delicious with terrific daily specials. The bar area/casual dining area is just as great and features traditional, Scottish, live music some nights. This place will remain at the TOP of my list not only for myself but for recommendations to anyone that may ask. Thank you to the brilliant team behind this beautiful hotel.

    The Inch - Seafood Risotto

    I almost had to give a one…read more.. But I think because of the professionalism with the service and the decor and what not, I didn't think it was a complete miss. I have had way worster experiences and I feel like these reviews are more for the hotel itself rather than just the restaurant itself so I do want to be somewhat fair. With all that being said... I can't confidently recommend the restaurant here. The Caesar salad was literally the only thing that was somewhat edible. I had been in Scotland for almost a week at this point and it was also the first time that I had ever been charged for water. That was something I kinda wished they would have mentioned to us if they were going to do that. That's not cool man. It really comes off as shady. For food I ordered the Seafood Risotto and there was practically no flavor. When I asked my friends how they felt about their dishes, it was unanimous around the table. Maybe the chef just quit the night before and they were trying to make do with what they have and know? It's just weird right? You see the pictures and see how cool The Inch looks inside and out and just figure if they have a restaurant that it's going to have at least "some" form of quality to the food. But there was none to be found unfortunately and you are left just feeling like this place is a tourist trap. So yea can't recommend the food here. Then again it is a small area. Maybe that's just all the people know? It'd be really sad if that was actually the case. My only hope is that the staying there for the night is an actual 5 star experience.

When we checked in the lovely girl came outside to greet us. It was the sweetest hotel check in ever!! Our room was lovely. There's a huge living room with a fireplace that they lit downstairs. That was my favorite place to hang out. There was also chairs outside overlooking the lake and it was so quiet and peaceful at night. And there's a little hike behind the hotels to the waterfall. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The food in the restaurant was superior. They rent out the whole place for weddings and I'm trying to talk my best friend into getting married there it was so great.

Could not walk around the bed if someone was standing or sitting at the bottom. The chair was hiding behind the bathroom door. If the overhead light worked we would have seen it earlier. The safe was triggered open and could not be used. In order to use the suitcase caddy, we had to put it in front of the room door. Only place that it would fit. When we brought the issue up to management, their answer was "It is an old hotel and the rooms are assigned at the time of booking and it is the luck of the draw. REALLY!!!! The larger room had 3 large windows whereas the smaller room had a single 14" window. Be careful when booking this hotel. Lots of stairs and the room is "The luck of the draw!"

The staff is accommodating-the room was nice (no view though) and clean. However, the place was understaffed. When visiting their dining room, it was a frantic mess. Not enough wait staff to care for everyone. Long waits to get service, even with a reservation. The food was ok but not worth the high prices. I had the Sea Bass and it was overcooked and dry. When speaking with the staff, they shared their frustration with not being able to give good service due to being understaffed. The hotel manager was serving?! Again, not many choices in the area so you are kind of forced to eat/stay there. Overall we were happy with our stay.

    Camusdarach is campsite heaven. It really can't get any better than this…read more It's in between Mallaig and Arisaig, and is backed by beautiful sand dunes and beaches, with plenty of rocks to scramble over, and lovely views. On arrival, we couldn't have been given a warmer welcome by our very genial host, who greeted us like long-lost friends, and we were made to feel at home. We were given a map, which was actually very useful given the size of this spacious site. We then had a look round the facilities. Oh my - luxury, proper luxury! The washing and shower block is something else - decorated to a higher spec than a lot of hotels. It's all grey slate and fancy taps. The shower heads are the large rainforest ones (or whatever they're called), and the shower was a good temperature. The site has every facility that you might need - flat pitches for motor homes, chemical toilet disposal point, grey water disposal point, electric hook ups, laundry, recycling points, free wi-fi, and other facilities such as a shop and cafe. They will even re-freeze freezer blocks for you, or re-charge phones or batteries for you if you aren't on electric hook up. We also noticed that they had a 'glamping pod', and that they take a very environmental approach to their facilities, with eco-friendly and sustainability being a high priority. But the best thing was the chemical toilet disposal point. I'm being serious, it was fantastic. Now this is the part of motor-homing that no-one enjoys. But what they have done here is turned it into a quirky and fun feature. The disposal point is located in an old fashioned style outside toilet cabin. Inside, there is a gigantic stainless steel toilet pan (sparkling clean) for your waste, and they have continued the theme with a ceramic cistern and old fashioned pull chain. They have even kept their touch of luxury going with a slate tiled floor. In having the consideration and creativity to create this eccentric little feature, what they have managed to do is make the most hated job actually good fun. It's a touch of brilliance in what is already a very classy campsite.
