Restaurant was excellent for dinner, food and service excellent although choice on menu limited for our taste, and the presence of non residents dining was a good sign. Cooked breakfast on first morning was very good. Cooked breakfast on second morning was none existent. Without any explanation, we were left with only a choice of cereal, toast and yoghurts, with a few sandwiches in the place where the self-service cooked breakfast had been the previous day. No explanation from the staff, who were very good, other than embarrassed expressions on their faces. Hotel in need of refurbishment to take full advantage of the stunning views of the loch which it enjoys. In short, we will go to that area again, we may book to dine there again, but probably wouldn’t stay at the hotel again. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### J 10 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good overall, excellent dining facilities ##### J Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alastair 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay by the loch Lovely hotel by Loch Linnhe.

The room and entire property were very clean. Room was spacious. Water pressure was very good in the shower. Staff was very attentive, especially in the restaurant and bar areas.

The room was comfortable, but no water bottles and NO HOUSEKEEPING during our stay, unacceptable considering rates. Bathroom in room 10 needs attention, the tap nozzle is stiff and the water taps are wrongly orientated. Tile work needs attention as does the side of the bathtub, looks dirty but it might be because it's old and worn out. Radiator in the bathroom seems to have been replaced and the polyfilla used to seal the previous holes was smeared on the tiles and not cleaned. One of the bedroom windows glass was cracked at the top. Breakfast that used to be very good when cooked to order, is now served buffet style. Feels like too much food is made and then stored and reheated next day not to right temperature. Toast bread is possibly the cheapest brand. We had booked two dinners but after the first night we cancelled the booking for the second as the food wasn't up to the standard it used to be. No seafood platter, the scallops still not properly trimmed (mentioned this last time we were here, they keep on leaving the scallop foot attached). Our meals were forgotten obviously under the lights in the kitchen for about 30 minutes and the chicken/haggis was pretty dried out. Told the waitress but she didnt look bothered. We won't be back unless massive improvements to the building and restaurant are made. There is no value for money as it feels like paying a high rate just for great views and not for the stay ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/347FFDD84EEF8D102858FF0C1CEF2BC258C18CC01714767313311.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9A3919B96CE4AAFAF32E2A67EE0F33DB129169B71714767312665.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39357CD593AFDBA861236D6824FC6C8845C940BE1714767312500.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/453FAE19433B8277AEB2EEA7A91ED725D76866D11714767312339.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Very attentive staff, great coastal location, bathrooms in need of an upgrade ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A really lovely hotel in a fantastic lakeside location & the staff were all really helpful & friendly.

Nestled between dramatic mountains and the calming waters of Loch Linnhe, the location offers a sense of quiet seclusion that’s hard to come by. The inclement weather kept us indoors more than planned, but somehow that only deepened the stillness and made the setting feel more intimate. The hotel itself maintains a gentle charm—warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for recharging away from the bustle. A special mention goes to the incredible staff who made our stay feel effortlessly relaxed—always attentive yet never intrusive. Breakfasts were wholesome and comforting, and the vegetarian dinner was a pleasant surprise, offering a thoughtfully prepared meal that didn’t feel like an afterthought. Whether you’re watching the mist roll in from your window or simply soaking in the silence, the Holly Tree Hotel proves that even rainy days can be restorative. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38b0c34b-1ddb-4706-980f-378a392d008b-1753769722404.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/399f2ed5-633c-44e5-904e-c7fc5a33681e-1753769722817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d4e49ea-675e-4769-b203-a96b231adf45-1753769722652.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b609e1a6-cb88-40be-9295-875a9ca9655d-1753769722443.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Aseem Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed in a deluxe king room with a view.

I went with a friend fof her birthday up the west coast of scotland and we decided to extend our stay and chose the Hollytree last minute. But what a fabulous choice! The views were incredible, the room was very spacious and the twin beds felt comfy and cosy! The lesuire facilities were also great - pool and jacuzzi where we met some other tourists. The breakfast was superb and the hosts were ever so polite - Magdalene was ever so nice and told us of nice walks to do round the area. Over all very friendly and amazing place would suit family, friends or just a romantic getaway with a partner🙂 ##### Carolanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Trace 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Reasonable stay The room was a good size. Reasonably clean but there were areas in bathroom and around the windows that had slight damp/mould. Feel that the public areas were fit for purpose but tired.
