Inverlochy Castle Hotel

Inverlochy Castle was very disappointing and not worth the effort it takes to get there. The castle and guest rooms are dated and are in need of complete updating. After being shown our room which was in desperate need of a renovation, we asked to move to a different room - something to which I gather that they're unaccustomed. The new room, while an improvement, was in a different building so we had to trudge through the rain and mist for every meal. And the pathway was dark and not particularly well lit. When we inquired about the activities we realized that they were very limited, particularly in the fall months. And since we were without a car we felt stranded. Other than a walk through the grounds (which are quite beautiful) there isn't even a fitness center or small room to work out. So, if it's raining, which it often is, there's not too much to do. The staff, while pleasant and polite, was very young and inexperienced. They need to import senior, experienced and well-trained staff from other comparatively priced properties. Both sinks in the bathroom were clogged and the clock was not functioning. We did report this and one sink was unclogged by the staff, but the other repairs were not made during our 2 night stay. How is it that housekeeping can clean a room several times a week, if not daily, and not notice such things? Dinner in the main dining room is pre fixe and while the food was good, not outstanding as it should have been for the price ($188 excluding beverages) and the fuss they made over it, there is only one main course so if you don't eat say, venison, or they're serving some other food you may dislike, you'll be out of luck. The food at the alternative restaurant - The Factors Pub, was average at best though the French fries were excellent. Overall, this was a very disappointing and expensive stay and I would not recommend it unless they make some significant improvements.

A very pleasant surprise. The hotel is located just outside of Fort William (thankfully). A picturesque estate. We stayed in a coach house room, which was nicely appointed with parking right outside the door. Modern heritage style. Fantastic view of Ben Nevis. Dinner in the main house was wonderful. As you would expect from Mr Roux junior at £145, it should be excellent and did not disappoint. Cocktail on arrival, pianist in the hall and great food. We could not fault the place, apart from the soulless pub on the grounds. I totally recommend Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

My wife and have spent two weeks in Scotland at the Kimpson , New Hall Mains Inverlochy Castle and Glen Eagle . All four locations offered amazing locations . Inverlochy Castle and grounds were first class . Inverlochy was a bust from checking in with staff very disorganized and not prepared . We found then poorly trained and witnessed a scolding outside the billiard room of the staff from a guest complaint . It was very disappointing. The meal in the main dining room was barely edible but the meal and service at Factors Inn was limited but was great . Sorry for bad review ! They could take an amazing property and match the service expected for a Luxury Property

Myself and a friend were on our motorbikes when I had a breakdown just outside the hotel on a rainy morning. We took refuge in the hotel while sorting out breakdown assistance and they provided much needed coffee. A special mention to Chantelle who welcomed in 2 soggy bedraggled bikers and took good care of us. Highly recommend for coffee.

This castle was so impressive! From the entry lounge to the staircase to the biggest suites I have ever stayed in. The registration desk was very welcoming. We enjoyed a short walk to the Factor Pub for dinner which was perfect. Beautiful place:)
