A lovely newly renovated hotel on the banks of Loch Maree. Our room was clean and spacious and had amazing views over Loch Maree as well as some deer who came to visit at night. Dinner was great and well presented. There was a log fire in the guest lounge which was welcome on a cold autumn day. We had breakfast with a view of the Loch. Just a lovely place and a great weekend

We stayed at the Loch Maree while traveling the NC500. The owner was very courteous, offering to carry out bags on arrival and departure. The building is exceptionally clean and well decorated. We enjoyed a warm breakfast and strolling by the beach in the morning. Our room was quite spacious and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend.

Stayed in Loch Maree hotel in late September. Cannot rate this hotel highly enough. This hotel has only been recently taken over under new ownership as of this month from what we were told. Daniel who was running the hotel the night we stayed could not have been any friendlier or helpful, the consummate professional. He made us feel at home from the moment we entered with his warmth and endearing sense of humour. We stayed in a beautiful bedroom overlooking loch maree, the room was incredibly comfortable and we couldn't have asked for more. We had dinner in the hotel that night. We both had starters, mains and shared a desert. An absolutely beautiful meal cooked to perfection, could not fault a single thing from start to finish. When we come back to Scotland the Loch Maree hotel will be a place we will be staying in again. Thanks again Daniel for the 5 star treatment you gave us and best of luck going forward, wishing you all the best. Joey and Róisín (Ireland)

Great stay, if you want something that is slightly different and more of a homely feel stay here, The pre ordering of food actually really works well, it didn’t bother us in the slightest and I liked the set dinner time. Accept it would only work if you can guarantee you would be there in time though. Host Daniel was amazing, he is honestly the hardest working person I’ve ever met and is friendly and knowledgable. Good Views of the Loch from our room.

This place is stuck in the sixties. Decor is old and faded. Plumbing does not work, tap fittings don't match, toilet cistern does not work. Food again from 60's. Fish very dry and overcooked. Needed to order breakfast previous night. I could go on. The owners have sold up. It needs a complete refurbishment and a new chef. There is so much potential with the lovely views of the loch.

When we first saw the Loch Maree Hotel, we were enchanted by it. The car park was nice and big, the building itself looked in quite good condition, it had a coat of arms in gold on the front and you could see a teeny bit of the loch at the back. It had a rather large stone, in the car park in Scots gaelic saying that Queen Victoria had stayed at an Inn at Loch Maree in 1867 - if I remember correctly. Seeing this had raised our expectations slightly. We entered the building and it was gorgeous. A nice cream/beige carpet and nice, old fashioned, paintings and furniture/decor. When we went to check in, that's when issues started to arise. The lady was explaining to us that we had to order food (for both dinner and breakfast) via notes in our rooms and put it into a box downstairs. Personally, not our preferred way of doing things but okay. Then I said to her, "My mother here, has coeliac disease. Meaning that she needs gluten free food." and the reply we got was "Oh." This started an alarm bell in my head. Anyway, we went up into our rooms and they were quite nice. The one we had booked with a view of the loch had a big bathroom but had the odd little paintwork issue and a quite warm bathroom. However, that room you could get WiFi in. The one with "no view" still had quite a nice view of the car park, again a lovely bathroom but had an issue getting the tv box to work. (Loose cable) But that room, you didn't have WiFi in. We were disappointed, however, with a former monarch staying there that you just had tea & coffee to make drinks in your room. We would of expected fruit teas, hot chocolate, etc. Whilst we were ordering food for the evening meal, I checked the booking confirmation email and checked the special requests and did see that when we booked months ago that I had informed them about my mum having coeliac disease. I showed her the email and showed it to our other guest who had to use our ordering notebook (as there wasn't one in his room) and we all hoped that dinner and breakfast would go okay. (At this point an alarm bell was going off in their heads.) Dinner- We go down to dinner. In the dining room, you get a great view of the loch and a lovely big fireplace. On our order, we made it clear which one was for the gluten free person and what wasn't. We got drinks and mum had to go to the bathroom (she has type 1 diabetes too). We got our food whilst she was in the bathroom and one of us had ordered the same chicken dish (Non GF). When the food came, it wasn't made clear to us, which was gluten free and which wasn't. Looking back, we should have asked but (luckily) mum wasn't affected. Mum asked for dessert (which you didn't have to pre-order) for just some ice cream but they couldn't do that, even though another dessert (we're pretty sure) had ice cream included. We had a reasonable rest of the evening and the bed/s were comfy. The guest lounge had nice decor. Breakfast - Me and my brother had ordered bits of a cooked breakfast. (As well as a few other bits - but none of that was toast.) Mum had ordered yoghurt and GF toast if available. (There may have been something else.) We got the yoghurt and cooked breakfasts okay (they were quite good if recalled correctly) but me and my brother got given brown toast. We shared a confused look with each other and we both ate a slice and we said to mum, this isn't gluten free. Mum's face dropped. Check out went okay but mum said to the lady there, "I'm not giving you a high review." Overall, it's okay/quite good of you haven't got any food allergies/intolerances but if you do - avoid. P.S. We're well aware that it said in the dining room, that they cannot guarantee everything would/could be allergen free. But potentially messing around with someone's immune system like this is very dangerous.

Beautiful setting in a classic hotel but sadly needing some TLC. Leaseholders about to retire so winding down hotel. Bar closed and no draught beer. Drinks ordered in reception which is unmanned and have to ring bell each time. Entrance to back patio closed off so have to go out thru car park to enjoy the view and the area needs a tidy up with tired furniture which is a beautiful spot wasted. Having to pre order breakfast and dinner and asked for wine and was told red or white and glass bought out … no idea what it was ?!? If new managers bring it back to life definitely worth staying but paying full price for half a hotel is not good

Had a one night stay on the NC500 trip. This is a nice hotel, the couple running it are wonderful, and the evening food was very good. The only thing that let it down for us was the dated bathroom, no shower and tired decor, the bathroom also had a horrid musty smell probably as it had no window. It needs a little revamp in the room around the edges and carpets. We had a comfortable nights sleep and a very friendly welcome from the staff.

I love this hotel . Met by the very friendly owner and even though we were late and hungry she very kindly said it was no trouble to make us something. Checked in and went to our room . A fabulous luxurios room with outstanding view. Everything was thought off bed was extremely comfy. We were trwated to a glorious tadting steak and guiness pie and clootie dumpling with custard all I can say is delicious and overlooking a crackin view. All in all a real gem and although this was only 1 night for buisness we will definetly be back for a short break . Thank you for everything .

We found our visit disappointing and overpriced for what was offered.Lukewarm welcome from the owner. The room was very tired and in need of redecoration. Bed comfortable.Preorder breakfast which is fair enough when there are staff shortages but quality average at best particularly the toast which was akin to cardboard. Outside the hotel needs maintenance and a good tidy up. Broken slab at main door and junk lying about on jetty. Sad to see what must once have been a splendid hotel fallen on hard times.
