8/10 Good
"Stayed in a beach pod with family of 4. Really enjoyed this setup and lochside location. Pod had everything we needed. Some other areas of the hotel are a bit tired and needing some TLC but this didn’t impact us. It was very comfortable and we had a good evening meal and good breakfast in their restaurant and breakfast room."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stay with beautiful views We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Linnhe Lochside Holidays. The location is absolutely beautiful, right beside the loch with stunning views of the mountains. 🏔️🌊 Our caravan was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was also perfect for exploring Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Fort William and the surrounding Highlands. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth. We also really appreciated the clear communication regarding our booking and payment. We would definitely recommend Linnhe Lochside Holidays to anyone visiting the Scottish Highlands. We would happily stay here again! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you for making our Scotland trip so enjoyable! 😊"

10/10 Excellent
"For Harry Potter fans this is your place to stay! I’m surprised there isn’t more buzz around the Glenfinnan House Hotel being the ideal location to experience not one but two iconic HP sites. The hotel is quaint, rooms comfortable, bathroom with double sink enormous, nice fluffy towels, and nice bath product. Dinner in the bar was surprisingly delicious - fish and chips a solid offering and the beef stew with mashed potatoes and kale was not only super yummy but also enormous so much so that I had my leftovers (which they kept overnight in the kitchen as there are no refrigerators in the rooms) for lunch the next day. And I’m a big eater! After dinner they brought our wine and tea out to the fireplace so we could enjoy the two free Scottish shortbread biscuits (glad I skipped ordering dessert!) in front of the real wood burning fire, so cozy! Only downside of the room was it was a tad worn and also not convenient wall outlets for charging phone, etc. But all is overlooked because of the super easy access to see the Jacobite train (aka Hogwarts express) crossing over the viaduct exactly as it was in the movie. From the hotel parking lot just walk up the road and then join the hundreds of other HP fans to hike up the hill for a prime spot. Asked hotel for late checkout at noon so we could catch the 10:45am train viewing, perfect! Also the hotel is literally on the Loch Shiel which is where the lake challenges on the Goblet of Fire take place!"
