Ballachulish Hotel

Loch Leven hotel at the Glencoe turn with a welcome pack for small dogs

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A baronial-looking hotel on the shore of Loch Leven at Ballachulish, right where the road turns up into Glencoe. The position is the point, water on one side and the Pap of Glencoe behind. It is a straightforward Highland hotel rather than a design one, and it works as a touring base for Glencoe, Glen Etive and the Ardnamurchan road. Two small dogs per room are taken, with a welcome pack on arrival.

Why it's in the collection

The Ballachulish slate quarry trail starts in the village behind the hotel, and Glencoe Lochan with its level circuit through the pines is about five minutes up the road.

Best suited for

Up to two small dogs per room, so check before booking if yours is a big one.

The open question

Up to two small dogs per room at GBP 30 a night, with a welcome pack included. The size wording is the thing to watch, because the hotel specifies small dogs rather than any dog. Room access is confirmed, the rest of the hotel is not spelled out.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
