Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa

Our stay to Loch Fyne was nice. It is in a beautiful spot and walking distance to the main areas of Inverary. ||||Our first impressions were good as the reception staff were very lovely and welcoming. Upon entering our room though this changed.. our room was I recently overworn and needing a touch up. Our curtains were dirty, general cleanliness in the room was lacking. Our bed cover had a rip in the side, there were cobwebs in the corners of the bedroom ceiling. There were also 2 very large cracks in 2 areas of our ceiling so this was just off putting. I then checked out the bathroom to notice the vanity mirror was all cracked and couldn’t be used. ||||It is a shame as the hotel has a lovely vibe, good location and the spa is some good facilities. A little disappointing to not be told the outdoor area has to be booked and we couldn’t just use there and then. Breakfast was average nothing to shout about. Portions are small but plenty of options at the cold/pastries section of the buffet. ||||A shame the room was so rundown as this really could have been a quality stay. Wouldn’t say I would rush back soon which again is a shame as the location is beautiful.

We had a lovely stay in this hotel. We (and our dog Finlay) were made very welcome. The room was lovely, the shower excellent and the bed very comfortable. We had dinner and it was very tasty. Breakfast was also lovely. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Finlay got his own bag containing a ball and treats, biscuits from reception and a sausage at breakfast! A lot of hotels take dogs but this one is genuinely dog friendly. He was living his best life and we had a lovely stay.

We found our room, located in a rather old-looking annex, too small and not worth the price. Apparently due to lack of space, there wasn't even a wardrobe. The bed was far too narrow, but the worst part was the completely worn-out mattress — very soft and sagging. Getting a restful night's sleep was out of the question. In both our room and that of our friends traveling with us, the toilet flush didn't work properly — barely any water came through. There was also no cleaning brush. Dinner was okay, but in our view, completely overpriced. Even a dollop of pepper sauce was charged at 4 pounds extra. The bar service in the evening was, let’s say, not particularly enthusiastic. When someone was around, the staff were friendly. My personal impression is that a hotel group has taken over an old building, fixed it up with minimal effort, and is now optimizing revenues and squeezing out every penny with strict cost-cutting measures. It's the opposite of a "family-run" hotel. We’ll give a second star for the truly excellent breakfast including service, but overall, the price-performance ratio was unacceptable, and the location is more show than substance. A pity for the beautiful surroundings and landscape — but from our subjective point of view, definitely not a recommendation.

Disappointing hotel for the price paid. The location is great and the room is nice enough but I paid more than 400 pounds for two nights there and the room doesn't even get a view on the loch. Everything is old and cracks. Gardeners are mowing the grass at 8 am on a Saturday morning...little things that just make the stay less nice. The main issue is the pool area. The pool itself is great, with a good temperature but some amenities were not working and the floor around the pool is dirty. (Litter left on the floor, hair everywhere, staff walking with their shoes around the pool) It is not awful but it is disappointing for the price.

We had an unexpected last minute stop over on our journey north - the heavens opened & it was bizarre & surreal to find us swimming in the amazing spa swimmimg pool, looking out at the rain & the loch. The staff were fantastic and were so welcoming. We hope to return again. Very happy to recommend.

We would come back to stay here from when we stepped out car was amazed at the silence around us. spa was amazing and very quiet. The jacuzzi has an amazing view. In our experience the breakfast was misable and over cooked. Needs lighting for outside at night when its dark we had dog out and could not see a thing and fell over a tilted chair

A lovely little hotel, nice and close to the town. Very very friendly staff, nice and welcoming and professional. Typically Scottish interior (lots of tartan). Room was big and comfy, with expensive furnishing. Good food options, didn't need a booking. Lots of local seafood. Spa onsite, if that's what you're in to. Classy place, worth a visit

Just leaving after a 3 day break at this lovely hotel. The most genuinely friendly staff, so welcoming and can't do enough for you. Very dog friendly which we love! Minutes Walk to Town and gorgeous Spa. We will definitely be back xx special thanks to Niall, Tracy and Ross for making it a very memorable stay. Linda, Sam & Coe xxx

This review is for a stay for two nights in mid-July 2018. We stayed in a standard double room. The look of the hotel room is quite dated with lots of potential for updating. The hotel room also had an "old" smell. One thing to note was that it was unusually warm during our stay in Scotland. The rooms did not have an AC unit (or one that we could find). We also learned that the AC would not be turned on, but we do not know why. So, it was quite uncomfortable to sleep and hang out in the room. The bar/lounge, dining areas, and the stairwells, however, seemed to have AC. So, we tried not to be in our room unless for sleeping. We did not use the spa. We used the pool located indoors. It was larger than we expected and clean. The indoor hot tub beside the pool was working and soothing but the outside hot tub ("Canadian" hot tub) was not working. We did not need to be outside anyway since the pool and indoor hot tub was not crowded. We had dinner and breakfast for the two days and nights we stayed. Both meals were filling with adequate portions. The formal dining was fine and quiet but it was more relaxing to order and eat in the bar/lounge area with the couches and chairs. Meal service was excellent. As for the bar service, they were very accommodating with requests, even accompanying me and personally bringing bottled water and glasses to my room. I was surprised, though, that the bartenders did not know how to make a cocktail on their list. I appreciated that they informed me and were transparent rather than hide the fact and pretend to know. Once they looked up the recipe, the execution was excellent, and I readily and confidently enjoyed another cocktail. The remainder of the hotel seemed very clean. Wifi is available throughout the hotel. The feel of the hotel is an older ambience but the hotel guests varied from mature groups, families with school-aged children and teens, and young couples. The employees are very helpful and courteous, and seem to have an excellent work ethic. Location is great. Slightly removed from the town, but it is a very nice 5-10 minute walk to town.

It was towards the end of August my partner & l randomly chose three places in Scotland that always said that we would go back to and this was one of them. We stayed here for the two nights on our tour and where not expecting much but really we where pleasantly surprised with the rooms that we where given as they where really nice, with the best views ever. Facilities The hotel had everything that you could ever want and more, jacuzzi, steam room and a hot tub sadly we didn't use any of them. Quite a few attractions nearby with plenty of shops & cafes. Food The hotel does have food on offer but we chose to dine out. I did see that the food that was served to other guests looked great & soup was served in a cup. But be aware that you may leave hungry with the portion size. Bar Looked rather like a nursing home with all the armchairs, beware also of the tartan overkill, chairs & carpets overall a good place.
