Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Rowardennan Hotel enjoys a prime location right on the West Highland Way, near Loch Lomond, making it ideal for hikers. Guests often appreciate the comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms, especially in the well-appointed lodges that are great for families. The food receives positive feedback, with the gluten-free fish and chips and the hearty buffet breakfast standing out; however, some have found the food portions a little small. The sauna near the slipway is a welcome addition for those tackling the WHW.

great stay during west highland way

great location quiet room high quality
the location is directly on the west highland way. the room was very clean and quiet. i enjoyed dinner and breakfast both were high quality. the bar and restaurant were fabulous after a long day hiking.
my room was on the third floor and difficult to access due to stairs. there was no lift available which was difficult after walking all day. i would prefer a room on a lower floor next time.

The breakfast was really good. the location is perfect, right by the loch. i found the staff very friendly and polite, especially during check-in. It was busy. the food in the bar was good, and the staff were friendly there as well.
My room was cold upon arrival. the radiator in the bedroom was turned down, and the towel radiator in the bathroom wasn't working. i tried to call reception but there was no answer. it kept cutting me off. This was inconvenient after a long day.
