    great location
    friendly staff

    we loved our stay at cruachan. the location is perfect, with a stunning view of loch linnhe and only a short distance from the beautiful scottish highlands and ben nevis. the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. the room was quaint and clean, and we especially enjoyed the leisure center with its pool and waterslide.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    cold breakfast
    small dark room
    tight parking spots

    The stay was marred by a few issues despite some positives. The room was small and a bit dark, lacking value for the cost at £200 per night, but it was clean. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and the dining area was adequately stocked. Unfortunately, the buffet breakfast fell short, being cold and of questionable quality, which was disappointing. Parking was a challenge due to limited spaces and tight spots, adding to the frustrations of the visit.

    limited parking

    I had a cozy stay with a spacious and clean room. I was able to dry my hiking clothes in the bathroom, which was super handy. The relaxing bar area was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, though the parking situation could use some improvement. Definitely check it out and grab a drink at the bar! 😊

    scenic views
    cozy rooms
    relaxing lounge
    thin walls

    Scenic views of the surrounding landscape made for a picturesque stay. The recently refurbished rooms offered a modern touch while maintaining a cozy feel, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. On the plus side, the convenient lounge area served as a great spot to relax with a drink, providing a warm atmosphere to wind down.

    The room was located in a separate building rather than the main area showcased in photos, which was a letdown. Noise travels easily between rooms, making light sleepers prone to disturbances. I found myself awake listening to snoring from next door. Despite requesting a quiet room, I ended up next to the elevator, further complicating my chances for a restful night. The breakfast options weren't impressive, lacking quality and variety, failing to meet expectations.

    i enjoyed my stay, particularly the friendly staff and the cozy room with a lovely view of the loch, making my weekend exploration a delight as the nearby lime tree an ealdhain gallery and the old fort are just a short stroll away for more fantastic views and city vibes.

    spacious bathroom

    cozy bar
    limited drink access

    Had a lovely time here with a spacious bathroom and a super comfy bed that gave us a great night's sleep. We loved relaxing in the cozy bar and the outdoor terrace was a nice bonus. On the downside, we had to wait until 4 PM to grab a drink upon arriving, but overall, it was a solid stay! 🍽️

    spacious family room
    breathtaking views
    lack of play area

    We had a wonderful stay with our kids and small dog. The family room was spacious and comfy, making it feel like a home away from home. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the hotel after our visit to Glenfinnan, where the views were breathtaking.

    In my wife’s opinion, a better play area for kids would be a nice addition.

    cozy room
    delicious dinner
    quick check-in
    cold temperature
    parking confusion
    breakfast organization

    I had a cozy room with an amazing view of Loch Linnhe. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Check-in was quick and friendly, with helpful staff available whenever needed. The dining experience in the bar was lovely. I enjoyed a delicious dinner with great atmosphere. Breakfast offered plenty of options, although I wished for more fresh fruit and oatmeal. The bathroom was spacious with modern amenities. The main downside was the cold temperature in both my room and the dining area, which made things less comfortable. Parking was a bit tricky at times, and the breakfast organization could improve, especially with the toast setup causing delays.

    Perfect for a solo adventurer

    Had a cozy room with an amazing view of the Loch, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. I chatted with the bartender about hiking trails, felt like I'd known her for years.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but for the experience and view, still worth it.

    Great breakfast and cozy stay

    Had a cozy room at the back of the hotel, super quiet! The breakfast was a delight with plenty of options. The staff at the bar were friendly and made our evenings enjoyable. Just a bit cramped in the room, but clean and comfy nonetheless.
