This is an all round great place!

We spent 3 days travelling around this area over the weekend, and really enjoyed our last night here. We stayed in 3 different hotels but we saved the best to last.

There's always something nice about driving up a sweeping driveway to a hotel and when you get here, you won't be disappointed. This is a lovely old country house right on the lochside with a wonderful view.

On arrival, the first thing you notice is the relaxed atmoshere. There are plently of people of all ages milling about and no stuffy formality in sight. After a really straighforward check-in, we were shown up to our loch view room and then left to our own devices.

The bar is very welcoming and on a Sunday afternoon was full of families having lunch, people reading papers and locals in for a chat with their friends. The roaring fire, traditional background music and stunning view all add to a totally relaxing experience.

Whilst the bar menu looked great, we had dinner in the restaurant that night. The food was fantastic and a real showcase of Scottish produce. Everything was locally sourced and skillfully cooked, complimented by a really good and reasonably priced wine list.

A special word must go to the staff. Joanna and Martin were working front-of-house and in the bar on the night we stayed, and made our stay all the more special. They worked so hard all day, kept smiling and are a perfect example of what the hospitality industry needs.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for the epitome of Scottishness! It's a real gem.

This is a very welcoming hotel in a stunning location. Although it was a little more pricy than other places we stayed, it was a great treat for a couple of nights. The food was excellent and the choice of wines and whiskies was also very good. I would happily have stayed longer but unfortunately they were booked up.

We stayed at the hotel last week (13-15 September) and I'd booked room number 1, which has stunning views and a four poster bed. The room was enormous with a great old wardrobe in it. Room was clean and very nicely decorated.

When we arrived the coal fire was on and it was really welcoming. We had dinner in the bar the first night which was really busy with people eating (from previous posters - no noise or boistrous locals, but it was midweek). Some locals were in having a post work beer and some dinner, I'd say a 50 50 split between residents and locals. Food was great, one of the best steaks I've had.

They made us up a packed lunch with was great (my other halfs salmon sandwhich must have had the whole fish in it :-)) and we had dinner the next day in the restaurant. Gorgeous room, and the food was again brilliant. I had the venison and my other half had steak, after mine had been so good the night before.

The location is just stunning, out overlooking the loch and you can see across to ben nevis on a clear day. The staff were attentive and friendly, Duncan was great at helping us make our dinner decisions. You can walk to the Jacobite statue (5 minutes) and from there see the viaduct that is used in the Harry Potter films - the steam train goes over at about 11 (not all year - stops in October I think).

All in all, we had a brilliant time. But then as I proposed to my other half further up the coast while we were there (this had been planned) the place will always be special to us.

I'm not sure what more one could ask for in a Highlands B&B.

As others have written, the Glenfinnan House Hotel is in an almost unbelievably storybook setting, right on the loch overlooking the Prince Charles Edward monument. It is surrounded by woodlands and a beautiful little church sits on a hill just above the B&B.

On top of that, the food at the restaurant was excellent and served in a lovely, elegant room. At dinner, my wife an I were given a table right at the front window overlooking the loch, where we could watch the sun set.

The interior has the paneled, homey feel of an old stately home, and the common rooms are warm and have a faded charm to them.

Our room was a bit on the small size, but outfitted with antique furniture and a big-enough bathroom that appeared to have recently been given new fittings.

In our 10 day trip in the Highlands, this was our favorite hotel.
