Loch View Comfort
spacious room snack selection convenient location
The room was spacious (it had a great view!). A selection of snacks, coffee, tea, and water were available. The location provided easy access to the train and bus station and a supermarket. It felt secluded despite its proximity to amenities.
Bringing luggage to the room was a bit difficult. It was a distance from the entrance and involved stairs.
Facilities
9/10
The lodge offers parking close to the entrance for added convenience. The rooms include amenities such as tea and coffee making facilities plus complimentary snacks, great after a long day. Guests can also find vending machines with snacks and drinks.
Dining
8/10
While the lodge itself does not have a restaurant, a wide selection of snacks are provided in the rooms. A supermarket and several dining options (including a McDonald's) are located nearby. Guests can enjoy easy access to various food choices.
Service
10/10
Though there is no traditional check-in desk, communication was effective via text. Cleaning service ensures rooms are tidy, and staff readily provided basic necessities. The absence of constant staff presence maintains privacy.
Location
10/10
The lodge sits beside the loch and overlooks Ben Nevis, providing fine views. A short walk takes you to the town centre and local amenities. The bus and train stations are conveniently located nearby, offering ease of travel.
