Benleva Hotel

What a quaint little hotel! The manager, David, is extremely kind and personable, our room was large and beautiful, the beds were quite comfortable, and the entire property was clean and safe. The drinks at the bar were delicious and the company was pleasant.

Lovely place to have a rest and a lunch, with kind and smiling people!

Great steak pie and haggis! Overwhelmed by the amount! Taste so goooooood

Lovely cosy hotel. Very good food and extremely nice staff. Highly recommended.

Best steak pie I've ever had! A lovely wee pub; did not stay at hotel, but it's now on my list!

Just spent 4 lovely nights here. All the Staff were helpful, Scottish veggie breakfasts were great. We ate here on a couple of evenings, food was well presented and portions were large.

Staff were great and got us in for a late dinner on our weekend hike. Bar staff were a lot of fun and great conversation and the drinks were good. Cosy bar open til after midnight so we had a fair few pints before heading back to our campsite. Would defo visit again

Delicious food, service excellent. Best ale in Scotland, so far, and we have been here for 3 weeks, says Peter. Good selection of whisky, good cold white wine. A really good stop over in our camper van.

Friendly and helpful service. We didn't stay at the hotel but had few drinks at the bar. Very clean and nicely decorated. Next time we'll definitely stop for food.

Didn't stay in the hotel but had meals in the restaurant. Food is absolutely top-notch quality and staff are friendly and helpful. We received such a warm welcome and wonderful meal we are going back this evening!

Pros: - warm atmosphere - free parking - casual clothing - TV to watch sporting events - indoor and outdoor seating - live music starting at 9:30pm - moderately priced food, amazing whiskey selection from all regions of Scotland - Scottish and local foods on menu - This is perfect to escape from the rain, especially if you're looking for a down to earth and easy vibe atmosphere Room for improvement: - falafel burger is very dry, a nice spread on it would be an easy fix! Tip: the peanut butter and chocolate lava cake was so WARM and comes with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream! SO. GOOD.

Nice staff and a good atmosphere. We were greeted by Charlie Brown (a chocolate Labrador) who was born there as explained by a local. Nothing fancy here. But the food was fresh. Traditional Scottish pub selection. Fish and chips were tasty with homemade tartar sauce.

We had just driven from Keswick and needed to find a good place to get a hearty dinner. We came across Benleva only a short distance from our hotel. Dinner starts at 5pm and even though we showed up early, they let us order. It was excellent. Clean, football on the TV, great selection of beer, excellent service and great menu selection. After a couple of Guinness and a very good meal, we were able to relax and enjoy our evening. Can't say enough about our bartender, would go back in an instant. The only thing I would do differently is stay at their hotel also, have a few more Guinness & shot some pool!

Nice pub, larger than most I've seen thus far. More room to move about. Had the fish and chips and a Stirling gin and tonic. Best gin and tonic I have ever had, and the fish and chips was amazing! Excellent tartar sauce.

Nice little pub-type restaurant in The Benleva hotel. I ad chicken madras (special-not on the menu) and hubby had a seafood dish. Both were wonderful. This place was recommended to us by a local and we really enjoyed it.

We didn't stay at the hotel and I'm hoping starting a new listing gets the restaurant some well earned business. We were recommended this place based on nepotism - someone in town said her daughter worked here. There were many places to choose from and I'm so happy we picked this one. Very busy place on a weekday night. The bar portion of the restaurant is simple and meant for a pint.

Through a door is the lounge, which is much quieter and meant for dining. Beer selection was good, and the menu was even better. The cottage pie (with the grilled cheese on top) was honestly, terrific. Friendly service, reasonably priced and just overall GOOD. Great option for dining in town.

Have never stayed in the hotel but the restaurant and staff are the best. Wonderful food, great service, and a friendly dog too! We came here for dinner and/or drinks every night of our 8 day stay nearby. Terrific pub atmosphere to hang out in; definitely returning!

The Benleva is hidden down the back in the village of Drumnadrochit. It's a cracking old building with a hanging tree in the grounds (legend has it that witches were hung from the branches of the great tree). I've never stayed but my parents have and they said the room and service was fantastic (it's the only place they stay in Drum now).

The pub is a traditional Highland pub and has won the CAMRA pub of the year on more than one occasion. They also serve dinner in the main bar on in the wee room just off the main lounge (I think they call it the restaurant but it's a bit wee for that). The food is good and reasonably priced. The beer is even better and if your a real ale fan then it's definetely worth a visit. The only negative thing is that the toilets are always freezing but enough beer in you and who cares!
