Myself and my partner dragged ourselves away from our two kiddies for a relaxing winter weekend breakaway and i'm so glad we choose the 'benmore'. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, we spent alot of our time chatting to them at the bar and they really did make the holiday! The scenery around the lodge is simply amazing, we... more

I was looking on Trip Advisor for reviews for our next holiday and wondered what the reviews were like for this place - still the worst we have ever stayed in. It still provides dinner party fodder. What was wrong? We were walking the West Highland Way and arrived in the dark and soaked. That day had seen the greatest... more

I stayed while doing the west highland way and this was by far the best stop off we had. Brian the owner was a gent, his wife a em and Alana the daughter was superb, even the big dogs a character. I took the family along again a few months ago and they loved it, the staff remembered me and... more

On arrival we were asked to stump up the full amount for thee nights stay without viewing the accommodation.If you want to call me naive for doing this then you are well within your rights.However going on holiday should never be a gamble and for £350 you should have a degree of confidence.The "lodge" was dirty and smelly and as... more

do not be put off by negative reviews! We stayed here for a couple of nights to get away from it all, and it was brill...the only complaint we had was that we were;nt staying longer! Its not the Ritz but doesnt claim to be...and lets face it your in the middle of nowhere what exactly are you expecting! Ideal... more

Arrived here after a long drive and were taken aback to be asked for money up front. The alarm bells should have started then. Shown to a 'lodge' better described as a shed. It had dirty carpet and stunk of stale beer. The tiny bathroom had a mouldy shower curtain. The redeeming feature was clean bed linen and tea and... more

We too were a little wary of the Ben More because of the negative revues, but we were very pleased with our choice. The meals were excellent, very good value. The staff, including the owner, his wife and daughter, absolutely charming. When they took over the hotel about 4 years ago it was in an appalling state, but much effort... more

Eight of us recently stayed here for 4 nights. Reading previous reviews we were alittle nervous but I think it is a mixture of ex-staff and locals writing negative comments. The rooms are clean and functional. Wooden log cabins mainly with a double bed and a double bunk. Quite warm too. It is on the main road but this goes... more
