What a great location. Situated on Loch Linnhe, our room was simple yet very clean & comfortable.
We didn't meet the owner as a new addition to the family was due.
This is a quaint old beauty & one can only imagine what it would have been like in it's "hay day".
A great selection of whiskeys that night, follwed by a wonderful cooked breakfast the next morning.

James Cholmeley Russell - barrister, financier, property developer and railway entrepreneur acquired Creag Mhor in the 1890s. It had originally been built in 1890 for the wife of the Episcopalian Bishop of Argyll. Family photographs show Russell, his family and friends relaxing in the grounds. It was at Onich that he kept his steam yacht "Madge"

JCR seems to have been a pioneer motorist, as two of the family "snap shots" show a large open car, of a make not identified, perilously balanced on planks on the Ballachulish ferry.

Russell died in 1912 with an estate valued in 2012 terms at around £15 million

I've not stayed here but it has a fascinating history and is well located

During our trip around Scotland this was our fourth place to stay for two nights. Our travel agency booked for us something 'nearby Fort William' and that is what it was - calm situated with a beautiful first impression from outside. It has everything you need: parking spaces around, a pretty building and the Loch Linnhe vis-á-vis.
Our room (by the way it was number 11) was fantastic: spacious room, large windows down to the bottom and a view to the Loch. It was affectionately and tastefullly arranged, clean and proper. The whole house has a comfortable athmosphere, especially the lounge with its big sofas and its fireplace, which was lit for us by the owners. And not to forget the Whisky bar, with its numerous "treasures". It was a pleasure to talk with EVERYBODY of the staff (and to get learned a lot about). And there is free-WiFi.
We like to thank the owners and staff for their dedication to let us have a pleasant stay. Thanks for the reference of the seafood restaurants nearby (just try them out!), for finding out a riding place for us, for donating us the fantastic MARMELADE as a gift. And for having such nice conversation!

Summarizing: a very lovley place in Western Scotland from where you can reach a lot of sights and special places of the breathtaking nature of Scotland!

Next time we will stay a few more nights there.
We hope, our references will help you for your next trip to Berlin, like yours did :)

We were originally meant to stay at the Onich hotel through a walking course company we were using, but they were double booked so arranged for us to stay here instead. On arrival we realised we had definitely got the better deal as the hotel was in a beautiful location, and the room was excellent. It had all the amenities we needed, and very friendly hosts available to give us advice and tended to anything we needed (including offering to get up early to help us get our gear out of the drying room).

The hotel has a small bar which is stocked with a very impressive range of whisky, as well as other drinks. It was a very pleasant stay and I would definitely stay here again.
