A beautiful hotel with grand high ceilings and an eccentric historical townhouse charm. Perfectly located right on the shore of Loch Maree, with private lake access. Our room was peaceful and quiet, offering breathtaking views of the lake. The host was exceptionally friendly, warm and accommodating, adding a welcoming atmosphere to both the hotel and its cosy bar. He went out of his way to meet our requests, making us feel truly cared for. Easily our best experience on the NC500.

Worth it for the views

Loch Maree was a fabulous location. Staff were helpful breakfast was good. Dining room had limited space. Views were amazing. This hotel needed a few more staff and some updating. It was though quite remote and this would be a challenge. In all though nice place to stay.

Pleasant reception and well organised to cope with staff shortages. Large comfortable en-suite room with great view of Loch Maree. Limited but good choice on the dinner menu which suited us. Would stay here again. Very peaceful.

Fabulous views over loch maree. Stayed during NC500 road trip. Quiant hotel. Waiter service for meals. (Lovely to be waited on) Water comes from waterfall nearby so water pressure for shower is poor, but ok for a bath. But wouldn’t stop me from returning. Staff very welcoming and polite.

Very old, dated hotel. WAY overpriced. Cold, terrible water pressure and temperature. Room was TINY, bed saggy, pillows hard as a rock. Food was bland and uninteresting. Hotel appeared to have turned off the heat at night to the in-room heaters. Some kind of animal got into the room through the side wall of the bath tub!!

Loved the view. Heating and toilet did not work properly, No signal on TV. Terrible water pressure. Poor lighting. Sagging mattress on single bed. Hole in wall leading to eaves. Door wouldn't lock. Very poor dining quality. Only one salt and pepper pot between the whole dining room. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Brown water!!

The best part of this hotel was the view over the Loch The hotel seemed to be run by only two people one was the chef and the other man was in charge of the reception,bar and served dinner and for all I know probably cleaned the rooms.! he was however very friendly and helpful. The problems I found with this hotel were that the room was expensive for what you got,I guess you pay extra for the view and also £6 for a bottle of beer is excessive. One of our main complaints was that the water coming out of the taps was brown and on querying it with the man of many jobs we were told that it came from the Loch and went through filters and was safe for us.Needless to say we did not wash that night.For these reasons I would not recommend using this hotel

Amazing location, unbeatable loch views. Onky downside we had was promised breakfast in bar so we could have dog with us, this wasnt set up. When i approaches staff they said they would get this sorted asap but forgot about us. We ended up putting dog in car and having breakfast in main dinning room, but by this point bread, juice and cereal was limited. Felt this put a but of a dampner on the stay. Perhaps two servers on at breakfast woukd have been helpful.

Didn’t appreciate the plumbing in our room (shower useless) and there were no handrails for getting in and out of the bath, very dangerous for a couple of oldies.

A great place to escape a storm

It was a last minute booking for us to escape storm Floris and we're so pleased we found this place. Wonderful views from the room and fantastic food. We had haggis to start (which wasn't on the menu but they did it for us anyway) and Sea Bass and Lamb Shank which were both excellent.

This is essentially a B&B being labelled as a hotel. Staff were thin on the ground, but the food was fine. The family room was disappointing with no proper shower facility and tired decor.

It was way overpriced, everything felt & appeared run down. On entering the room the bed appeared unmade, the towels were worn out and ripped as soon as used. There was a strong smell of cigarettes through the evening coming in the room. We left the room at 6.30am the next morning because we just had to get out. One positive which didn't make up for the negatives was the view of the Loch from the room - through filthy windows !

Fabulous, historic, and beautiful hotel!

The hotel had such charm and I am amazed with the three staff members we chatted with that was keeping up the whole place. This hotel cannot be compared to modern hotels these days; and I wouldn't want to. The Lock Maree has a bar and restaurant on site; which I would highly recommend having dinner and breakfast. The staff was so nice and helpful. We walked the grounds in the afternoon and had such a lovely, quiet, peaceful time at the hotel. Highly recommend and I can't say much more about this place except you have to stay a night or two at least.

The welcome was fantastic

We have travelled and stayed in too many hotels to count. There have so far been 2 that have stood out in our minds as giving excellent service. The Loch Maree has jumped to number one. Duncan who welcomed us, was fantastic. He surpassed any previous number ones! He could not do enough to help and make sure that we were comfortable and had all that we needed. When the Callan, came back from his holiday, he again was lovely, helpful and kind, but Duncan had already taken the top spot. The food was very good. We noticed that some people complained about the lack of choice. It is the end of the season and hotels are closing down, so naturally the choice will be a bit less. Each night there was a couple of different choices, from the night before. Had absolutely no complaint about the food, presentation and flavours.
