Ardlui Hotel

Location is a dream, stopped with my partner for good SCOTTISH food, we both ordered steak pie but was disgusted with how freezing cold it was. I don't normally complain as I could eat a Highland coo... but asked for it heated up, wish I hadn't. On return, it was horrible, taste ,quality of meat and smell. Such a shame as it was empty ,only 4 people (counting ourselves) ,but come on??? Steak pie....easiest dinner ever, and to charge £21 quid each as of menu price, we obviously didn't pay. Avoid sadly 😥

The staff here were very attentive to customer service. Despite being very busy, the gentleman at the front desk took the time to explain to me how UK currency and coins work so that I could operate the washer and dryer. A relaxing stop on my trek across the West Highland Way.

Terrible hotel, we had room 18 right above Bar the noise was horrendous, could join in with the singing / music if required as you could tell what song was playing / being sung. We had a ok meal, staff friendly but for a hotel you need good nights sleep and unfortunately we didn’t get any. Bed was also really uncomfortable.

Wow. Quite a feverish experience to spend two nights in the Ardlui Hotel pods, from start to end. The place is giving… Schitt’s Creek episode? In good and bad ways. We arrived by train on a tranquil Friday afternoon in the secluded community of Ardlui - there’s nothing there for miles and miles. First impressions were great with a stunning view of the Loch. Checking in was an interesting quest - the process took 40 minutes of waiting because the warden was on a break. Also we didn’t realise you had to press a bell to gain his attention. As we were waiting a member of staff came over and pinned a sign to the community board warning campers to boil water prior to drinking…. Odd? Problematic? Ecoli you might think? But no… just outdated water filters that were meant to be changed the week after. You might have expected free bottled water for guests at this point. But you would have been wrong. The camping pod was nice, warm and unproblematic though. Moving on to some higlights we have Alex the barman/waiter who was just vibes. And the most professional by far. Great oufit mate! Skipping through images of our weekend we have some mouldy bread at the breakfast counter, questionably cleaned toilets and a surprisingly good mac and cheese. Great tunes playing at dinner too. Wonder if Alex made the playlist? Final thoughts - if you want an isolating, reality-shifting weekend, this place is for you. We shan’t be back!

Walking the West Highland Way. My room was clean, service was friendly and although room was small it worked well. Restaurant was excellent. Both my wife and I had the venison. Drinks were good. Prices were in line with what we paid along with hike. Would definitely return. As one reviewer said this was an old style hotel but well worth the stay.

This was a wonderful hotel on the West Highland Way. You summon ( hourly) a boat to come and pick you up from the other side of the loch. Rooms were great as was the food. The front of house team were really good in the bar restaurant 👏 A packed lunch was available for the trail.
