I returned to the Macdonald Hotel for the second November running to stay in their cabins with three friends for a weekend walking in the hills in the area. I can't comment on the hotel rooms but the cabins are perfect for simple accomodation for walkers, better than any other bunkhouse-type accomodation I've ever used in the Highlands. The staff... more

We stayed in the cabin for 2 nights late October. They're roomy, comfy and very reasonable on price as £10 per person per night. We arrived late in the evening and were made very welcome by the owner who couldn't do enough for us on our late arrival. The cabin sleeps 4 so with just the 2 of us there... more

We arrived at the MacDonald hotel wet, cold and very tired. The first person we saw was a very friendly, helpful receptionist who brought us towels and helped us out of our wet gear. We were told where the drying room, dinning room and bar was then were shown to our rooms. They were bright and clean I was delighted... more

Ate here while staying in Kinlochleven and enjoyed the food which was plain but appetising. The hotel itself looks a bit dated and bare but it was busy enough. Couldnt go into the bar with the kids but there is a sitting area in the dining room which we used a a drink. more

We stayed one night in the the hotel and one night in the cabins. For the price the cabins are superior--they are private, quiet and very nice. The only downside is you have to walk to the hotel to use the bathroom, showers, and drying room--a bit of a problem if the weather is not good. Bunkhouse guests are treated... more

Management response from

I'm sorry if you felt like a second class citizen while staying in the cabins. However, we do not limit cabin guests to eating in the bar. We do not have rules about who is allowed to eat in the restaurant. The only rule we have is no dirty hiking boots in restaurant, and that rule is applied to any...

Only thing that let this place down during our stay was the temperature in the room, which was unbearable. However, not a problem that you encounter in Scotland very often. Staff were very friendly, food in the bar was good and the packed meal the following day was good value and the best we got during a week of walking.... more

It was 13 years since my last visit and little seemed to have changed. Different owners, but otherwise a step back in time. The rooms were simply furnished and clean, although the bathroom was rather tired and the shower temperature fluctuated noticeably. As the dog was allowed in the bar area, we ate there in preference to the dated dining... more

I organised a motorcycle trip for 17 people and we booked in at the Macdonald having spent the previous trip at the Blackwater Hostel round the corner. I chose this place simply because the staff we met last year were so welcoming and friendly. Again this year they did not dissapoint. We had a mixture of the cabins and several... more
