Drop the bags, sink into your armchair, and indulge in the breathtaking views over Loch Linnhe and Loch Leven. All of our bedrooms are spacious, comfortable, and promise a peaceful night's sleep, they even come with breakfast. Oh and we're also a big hit with your four-legged friends too. Selection of Scottish refreshments - Brodies tea and coffee and still and sparkling water. This room can sleep up to two people, with space for a cot for a child under two years old. Views that will make you go 'oooh'.
Nestled on the banks of Loch Linnhe, sandwiched between towering Munros, Ballachulish Hotel is the ideal location for fresh seafood and epic adventures in a setting so gorgeous. You won't want to leave. Here we share our best bits. Our most favourite things to see and do in the area. From where to find that secluded picnic spot to updating your Instagram account with a selfie that's the envy of all your friends. There's also the occasional ramble on favourite subjects. If you need some inspiration, read on.
Go fireside for a cappuccino and a light lunch, or lochside for relaxed dining by the sunset. If you're hunting for a great place to eat out in Glencoe or Fort William, the search is over. Head to the FISH Restaurant or Waterside Cafe to enjoy local, seasonal dishes before settling in for a cosy night by the library fireplace where plans are hatched and good books are devoured.
When you book a stay with us, not only will you get to enjoy our wee boutique hotel, but you'll also get access to all the facilities on offer at Isles of Glencoe. Just a short five-minute drive away, pop along for a dip in the pool - it's much warmer than a bracing dip in the loch. Then ease weary muscles in the sauna and jacuzzi.

Lovely old hotel, some areas could do with a touch up (during the off-season) although recent renovations were beautiful! Room was great, well decorated, bathroom was really well finished! Staff were absolutely lovely, very helpful. Food was excellent! Took me by surprise! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Afternoon tea was very well presented and a lot of thought had went into seating arrangements. Looking forward to staying here again

The last time I visited here was over 30 years ago. This time I was only able to stop by to sample the buffet breakfast, but it was so worth it. A large selection at a very reasonable price and delicious. My well behaved dog was also made very welcome. Thank you to the staff for being so friendly, and helpful. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, I highly recommend the breakfast, it will set you up for the day. I hope to come back and stay at the hotel properly one day soon.

Stayed overnight as part of West Highland Way. Short taxi ride from Kingshouse. Hotel is comfortable and well maintained. Rooms are well sized, good sized bath and all you can ask for. Staff were experienced, very helpful and eager to help. Evening meal was fantastic. The seafood menu is amazing, the specials were fantastic. High quality food and reasonable prices. Breakfast int he morning was a generous buffet style, perfect for refuelling ahead of the Devil's Staircase.

While this hotel has "character" it is not good character. From the staircase to dining room to common areas, this hotel is tired. The restaurant staff seems to care less about dining service. That said, the front desk staff was accommodating and pleasant. The bed was extremely hard and pillows thin.

Beautiful hotel, beautiful views, amazing food, and staff was absolutely welcoming and kind! Will definitely stay again, we all loved it! We stayed in a family room, and our 2 boys loved the bunk beds. The staff went out of their way to ask our kids how they were each time they saw us, really made them feel special. We had an amazing trip. Thank you Ballachulish Hotel!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Ballachulish Hotel. The staff couldn't have done more for us, and their warm and friendly disposition made the hotel feel like a home away from home. We stayed in one of the superior bedrooms which was large, decorated beautifully, and had stunning views directly over Loch Linnhe. The food was delicious, we ate in the hotel restaurant every night and were spoilt for choice as well as quality food. All in all we can't recommend this hotel enough!

One of Scotland’s hidden gems.fantastic hotel with warm friendly staff who can’t do enough to make your stay memorable.the food is great and reasonably priced.the Harry Potter staircase adds to the quirky feel of the place.its so dog friendly too and the open log fire is lovely. Yes the hotel is old but that just adds to the atmosphere.
