    beautiful views
    welcoming staff
    cramped accommodation
    disappointing breakfast
    lack of packed lunch options

    The location offers beautiful views from the bar area, and the staff, particularly those at reception and the bar, are exceptionally welcoming and attentive. expectations should be adjusted as the cabins feel cramped due to proximity to the camping area, impacting privacy. The advertised ‘highland feast’ at breakfast was disappointing in size and quality. options for packed lunches were not available as promised, which was frustrating during our trek.

    my stay here was much better than last time in kinlochleven. the room was cozy, with a comfy bed and an electric warmer. loved the scenic views of the loch from the bar area and the delicious dinner on the first night.

    Friendly atmosphere with helpful staff. The shared toilets weren't clean enough and had unpleasant smells. Great location near whisky options in the bar.

    stunning views
    chaotic check-in
    poor breakfast

    Stunning views from the hotel and bar.

    The check-in process was chaotic with no staff present. I had to wait an unreasonably long time to get help, and when someone finally showed up, they seemed clueless about the reservation. The breakfast was a letdown. not only did we have to pay in advance, but the food was poorly prepared and barely edible.

    The whole wheat bread rolls at breakfast were a delightful surprise, truly fantastic! Plus, the hotel's location right on the West Highland Way is spot on for adventurers, and the rooms were clean and functional.

    My stay at the Macdonald was delightful. The stunning views of Loch Leven inspired my photography, while the cozy bar vibe made relaxation easy. Though the staff could improve their service, the delicious meals outweighed the minor inconveniences. Perfect for nature lovers!

    Cozy stay with nice views!

    We had a 1 night stay in a triple room and it was pretty cool. Staff were super friendly, and the bar area had stunning views. The food was decent, but I was a bit bummed about the breakfast being smaller than expected. a good spot for a night along the trail!

    breathtaking views
    attentive staff
    limited breakfast

    Stunning views and superb service

    I recently enjoyed a stay in a Triple Room, where the breathtaking views of Loch Leven made waking up a delight. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure that all our needs were met, and the atmosphere in the Bothy Bar added a lively touch to our evenings. the breakfast could use a bit more variety as it felt a little limited. this place perfectly combines natural beauty with comfortable accommodations.
