My husband and I spent a night at the Macdonald Hotel in June. What we liked: 1. Rooms are clean and reasonably comfortable. 2. Windows have screens, so that you can sleep with them open, even in midge season. (You'd think this would be the case at every hotel in the Highlands, but it is not.) What we didn't like:... more

We stayed two nights at this hotel along with two friends who were walking WHW and I would echo the comments made by others doing this walk - absolutely superb venue for part of this walk. Tremendous views, excellent food and the management and staff have such a relaxed disposition - it is infectious! Another review mentioned the heat of... more

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Please don't let any of my comments below put you off going - the positives far outweigh the negatives. The hotel is in the lovely village of Kinlochleven, at the foot of the loch and reached by a scenic 7 mile drive (a real pleasure if you enjoy driving on quiet roads).... more

We loved it, good value, Frances the owner was fab, great breakfast and best value of all the hotels on the WHW. Oh yes the every room has a bath -just what you need when you've walked 20miles! more

This hotel is on the West Highland Way and caters for the walkers and climbers who pass through the area. It's basic but clean and has a bar with the most amazing view down the loch. We stayed one night while on the WHW and had a pleasant, restful stay. The food was simple, tasty, plentiful and well presented -... more

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of November and would reccommend the hotel to anyone in the area. The staff were very friendly and the off peak rate very reasonable. When we booked we asked if we could have a room with a view of the loch and the guy said none of the rooms had views as... more

We stayed at the MacDonald Hotel for four nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the room, the staff and the food extremely good. The room was nice and clean with TV and coffee facilities. The water was always nice and hot for a relaxing bath after a day in the highlands or quick shower to get you going... more

This was one of the best campsites on the West Highland Way. Secluded position, flat smooth grass in well cared-for gardens, lovely views and a nice breakfast in the hotel. There is also a laundry room, drying room, and separate showers (ie lockable, single showers). It helped that we had fantastic weather! However, it is definitely a hotel that cares... more

This 'hotel' is ideal for backpackers or people looking for a cheap and cheerful nights stay. The rooms are pretty basic and the bathrooms could do with being updated. The hotel is really a pub with a few rooms upstairs. When we stayed it was a saturday and at night music from the pub could be heard until well into... more

Stayed here for one night. Amazing views, great beer and food. The room was fantastic and given the off-season rate (£22) it was great value. more
