It all was reasonable. Rooms ok, food ok, not realy to recommend and not too expensive. The village of Arachacle is not the place you are heading for, though the area is stunning. The hotel actually needs a make over, though my girlfriend loved the atmosphere. The management is very friendly and helpfull. Try Skipper with poached eggs for breakfast! More

We stayed at this hotel in August. While this was quite out of our way, we really did enjoy the drive and the scenery in this part of Scotland. There were not any rooms available for our family of three, so we ended up in two rooms. One room, right over the bar, was way too noisy, so mom and... More

We had a family holiday in June with our Daughter and Son in Law, their first trip to Scotland and the 2nd Hotel of trip. After Oban we knew things would get better and this Hotel did not disappoint us, the rooms were excellent, the food at dinner superb and the breakfast was traditional Scottish for three of us and...

This was seriously the worst hotel we've ever stayed in and we travel frequently. The pictures don't accurately reflect the hotel or the area. The things that were so bad they made us want to leave immediately: The 3 pubic hairs in the shower left from previous guest(s) The coffee mugs in the room with a picture of a man... More

I was dismayed when I read the previous review and was on the verge of cancelling. I'm glad we didn't. We stayed 3 nights in a comfortable room with beautiful views. We had excellent food in the restaurant - the monkfish in garlic butter with fresh veg was as good as you will get anywhere. All the staff were extremely... More

In need of a meal it was either this hotel or the chip shop across the road - if you are faced with this choice, then choose the chip shop. We experienced an endless stream of problems and hopeless service. Couldn't have our first choice from the menu - no haggis available. Couldn't have second choice - no buns for... More

Thank you for your post on trip advisor and we can only apologise for the situation and your disappointment. We know and understand that some people can get upset when they cant get what they want but sometimes this is unavoidable. Our soup is made fresh every day sometimes there is a change over during the evening depending on how... More

As some reviewers have noted , the Loch Sheil House Hotel is not the Ritz - and thank goodness! This is a charming, cozy, and unpretentious hotel, and dare I say it? Yeah, funky, in the best sense of the word. The pub in the hotel is where the locals come for a pint, and good cheer abounds in the... More

I can see from the other reviews that this hotel is something you'll like or something you'll hate. Pity, because it could so easily be wonderful. We picked it because the web site hinted at the ability of the chef and the great food, but it was not quite good enough to match the description. It was nice, but not... More
