Stayed here on a U.K. Vacation (I'm from the us). They were very accommodating and the food was amazing! So many special touches as you'd expect from a BnB. read more

I still sometimes dream about this place and how creepy it was. I know that's not something you…read morewant to see on a review for a place you would like to stay, but the ambiance here was like nothing I had ever experienced before and I would come back again and take people with me if I could. In fact, I plan to someday. This place is definitely worth checking out. Especially if you're into creepy old hotels. Scotland is ripe with history. It's everywhere you look. The fact that I found this place foreboding is just part of the experience. We weren't even supposed to stay here during our great United Kingdom tour in 2007, but my dad ran over a curb in the rental Mercedes Benz (I will never own one after this experience. He ran over a curb in the center of the highway and it blew the tire and dented the hubcap.) and we were stuck car-less in Scottish Highland nowhere (nowhere else I would rather be stuck). My dad was bent out of shape and tuckered out from both driving a stick shift with the wrong hand on the wrong side of the road, and telling my mom and me to stop touching strange rocks in the middle of random glens. So, that led us to spend a night here after it was recommended by the repair guy. There was some kind of interesting war museum inside, blessed FOOD at smallish pub (We were starving. No matter how the place looked, it was an oasis!) and one sort of bored but charming clerk guy who helped us find a room at the last minute. I very much remember a Shining-esque quality to the hallway and rooms, but then again, I feel that way in most hotels and usually check the bathtub every time. Like everywhere else we stayed in Scotland, we received top notch hospitality here as well as an interesting story we still talk about to this day. My mom swears up and down she dreamed about the place the night before the tire blew, and remembered the name from her dream. None of us were ever really believers in paranormal stuff, either. Until this trip. Anyway ignore all the creepy mumbo jumbo and do give this place a try. It earned its stars. It can't help it's an historic building in the middle of beautiful rainy nowhere.

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!

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.

Dinner was especially impressive with upscale playing and exquisite entrees and desserts. All the staff we encountered were helpful, patient and kind.
Glengarry Castle Hotel
We had the recent pleasure of staying at Glengarry Castle Hotel in Invergarry. In our opinion it…read morewas truly a delightful experience. From the moment we walked through the gigantic doors we were greeted with the warmth and hospitality of Scotland's past. The staff at the hotel was exceptional, professional and friendly. The hotel itself is so charming -- the lobby, lounge and library exude elegance and sophistication of Scotland history. Our room was clean, spacious and tastefully, historically decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The ensuite bathroom was bright and clean and a nice size. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed a walk to the Invergarry Castle ruins. One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking panoramic view from our suite that overlooked the loch. It was simply mesmerizing and peaceful, especially during sunrise and sunset. The hotel's lounge and library were the perfect spots to unwind with a nightcap in front of a roaring fire. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel multiple days and each were excellent and exceeded our expectations in both service, quality and deliciousness. During our stay we did day road trips from the hotel and we always looked forward to returning to relax in the lounge with a drink and reflect on our day's adventures. If you are visiting the Invergarry area, we highly recommend Glengarry Castle Hotel for an unforgettable experience.

Although this bad news could not make our situation any better after wearing our unmentionables for 3 days straight....her warm hospitality and the very clean room made ALL the DIFFERENCE!!! Remember all though this establishment advertises as a castle hotel, the contenintal breakfast or Full scottish breakfast is included at no charge, like a bed n breakfast. There are Invergarry castle ruins on the property as well as a very cold river nearby in which we spotted children paddling in a floating raft as their guardians were fishing off a boat. There is a beautiful walkway on the dirt path along side the green garden but I don't recommend wheelchair users to roam on this path without supervision...too many holes and bumps. Cable channels are free, you can purchase dinner for an additional 70 sterling pounds, and the fresh breakfast is fulfillingly tasty. The view from the dining room is glorious although the weather changed from windy grey cloud skies to hail storm and then rain and then sunshine. Completely unpredictable, as expected for UK weather. Go for the experience!

Television and good WiFi. Complimentary cook to order breakfast and afternoon tea with scones or biscuits. Friendly and helpful staff and management. Hiking trail nearby that starts from the Commando Memorial and passes the old High Bridge historical site. This hotel also serves a five star home cooked dinner to guests and travelers. Great menu of starters, main course and desserts prepared with locally grown produce and meats such as venison, beef, chicken and fish. They also have several tasty vegan/vegetarian meals available and full bar service. This is a great location for a nice peaceful retreat. #oldpines #speanbridge

Rooms were very clean, decorated well, comfy bed. There were homemade cookies in the room. And hot chocolate. We went on a walk that leaves right from the property down through a meadow of ferns and into the forest, then along the river to some Jacobite ruins from the 1700s. Then back for dinner at the inn which was amazing. I highly recommend one of the non alcoholic cocktails. They brought out bread and butter, and nuts and olives as soon as we sat down. The meal was really good and all of the staff was very nice. And the view from the restaurant is incredible. Everything was perfect. And it was awesome to be in such a quiet, peaceful and beautiful spot. If your passing through the highlands this place is a must stop. We'll be back for sure.

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.

Split two fish and chips and a chili sandwich among the three of us, which was a good amount of food. Fish and chips - perfectly battered. Fish is huge, juicy and locally sourced.

Tap water comes in a bottle, which I always love. This place had the best tasting traditional fish and chips that I had. The fish was the absolute highlight.

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.
