Reviews of Loch Awe Hotel

Nice setting

Staff showed little interest, and they appeared as they really didn't want to be there. Breakfast was terrible handed a glass of juice as you went through door told where you must sit. Breakfast was so basic, and I had to ask 3 times to get toast when it came it was cold and cheapest bread you could get.

Beautiful old building at a fantastic location

The food was really bad, wouldn't eat there again! And it is a really old-fashioned hotel, fun but be prepared.

Location was excellent hotel is beautiful but a little dated and a few repairs needing done staff were brilliant very helpful. Staff in dining room excellent very attentive.

The night we choose to stay there were railway work going on so kept us awake no fault of the hotel. The time dinner was served was quite late 7pm

The location and the hotel itself was absolutely amazing, it's beautiful. The staff were all very friendly and made use feel very welcome.

My only complaint came from meal times. Every room had their own assigned table in the restaurant, you couldn't choose where you wanted to sit. After being seated for breakfast we must have been asked by about 6 different staff if our order had been taken, it seems that there was no communication between them. When breakfast arrived, the portion was tiny, 1 sausage 1 piece of bacon. When we asked for more the answer was "I'll see if we can do that" before returning from the kitchen with a 2 extra sausages. It almost felt like food is scarce and they give as a little as possible.

The dining room staff were very friendly and well-trained, and the menu was very good. The shower facilities were excellent.

No lift, and a long way to walk between bedroom and dining room.

Spotless clean - loads of room around hotel for quiet time. Superb views A young staff team make this hotel. They are superbly trained all look spotless in uniforms great personalities and Engage with all guests. Food value is excellent - we did a self drive holiday and this is a coach holiday hotel but we were given the same experience with great service. Your team - all staff including room cleaning teams represent you very well. No request here is too big or too small the staff are very accommodating. Beautiful views and places to visit near.

It was scenic stay perhaps one of the best.

The breakfast slots are fixed to 45 minutes and decided by staff which is quite silly.

Location is stunning.

Hotel is very tired and dated internally, although it was clean. Staff are predominantly English and not very interested. Breakfast was absolutely awful. Asked to wait in the lounge area to be called while the bus trips were served (we were never called) Eventually we went through and seated ourselves. Sat for 15 minutes before anyone came near and were then served cold toast. Waited another 10 mins before anywhere came near to ask for tea. We eventually were asked what we wanted for breakfast and both opted for scrambled eggs on toast. It came out 10 minutes later with cold toast and scrambled egg which looked like it was cut into chunks and was inedible. By that point we had had enough, got up and left and checked out. We won't be back!

Spotlessly clean, stunning location, beautiful hotel, good food

Rooms could do with a little decoration, very bare.

Location

Check-in 4pm sharp. No food and bar closed until 7pm, Dictated what time you can have dinner. No Scottish breakfast, set breakfast food very basic, no haggis,black pudding, Mushrooms or potato scones.This hotel caters specifically for OAP bus tours. Couldn't sleep due to buzzing noise all night, twin beds awful, with bedding that smelt like it had already been used. Staff swearing within earshot, not professional. Checking out, wasn't even asked how things were. Not worth the money.

Liked it all. Parking,views,location and staff were very friendly

Nothing to dislike

Location and the views

There was no shampoo or shower gel in the room

Great breakfast. Great location. All staff superb.

Room was too warm. Even w windows open. Noise from work on railroad tracks nearby and flies coming in caused us to close the windows. Need a/c.

Beautiful building. Fantastic views. Great pub across the road if you don't want to eat at the hotel.

This hotel is mainly for coach tours so other guests are given dinner and breakfast times outside of when the restaurant is needed for the groups. No choice of different teas at breakfast. Felt a bit like part of a conveyor belt.

The building and the location are wonderful.

The hotel is set-up to cater for coach parties, eg:- Dinner was served at 19:30, no choice of times. The 3-course dinner menu was very limited, but at £17.50 it did represent value for money. Breakfast was at 07:30 - 08:15, too early for us. Checkout was at 10:00, again, too early for us. We paid £140 for the room and, at that price, we expected more flexibility.

Breakfast was very good. Staff were attentive and well mannered.

The parking facilities could have been better. I had to use the overspill car park on each of the 3 nights and there were only 3 spaces there. On my 2nd night after returning quite late there were no spaces available. I had to pull into the side and hope I would be ok there..

The building is beautiful. The views are outstanding of the loch, the rooms are steeped in craftsmanship.
