Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery - A historic loch-side hotel with craft distillery, award-winning bar, and panoramic views
Set on the north shore of Loch Leven near Ballachulish Bridge, Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery offers 12 en-suite bedrooms, including Classic Doubles, Loch View Doubles, and Luxury Pods with faster Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers. The award-winning Old Ferry Bar serves gin, rum, and spirits distilled on-site alongside 60 single malts and craft beers. Loch View Restaurant provides formal dining with loch views, featuring local seafood like scallops and Argyll lamb. The hotel is 45 minutes from Oban and 5 km from Glencoe Folk Museum, with proximity to hiking trails like the West Highland Way. Pixel Spirits Distillery offers gin-making classes, and the Literature Lounge displays artwork by Iain McIntosh.
Pros
The Old Ferry Bar dates back to the 1700s and serves over 50 gins, including house-distilled varieties.
Luxury Pods include private terraces, underfloor heating, and Bluetooth speakers for a glamping experience.
Loch View Restaurant offers locally sourced seafood and game, with direct access to a sun deck.
Proximity to outdoor activities like skiing at Glencoe Mountain Resort and Nevis Range, both within driving distance.
One accessible ground-floor room features grab rails and a private terrace with loch views.
Cons
Some rooms face the courtyard rather than the loch.
The hotel's remote location may require a car for exploring nearby attractions.
“Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery benefits from its position near Glencoe, where mountain views meet the loch, providing a backdrop for its acclaimed restaurant and bar. I'm impressed by the reported friendliness of the staff and the comfortable rooms, ensuring a relaxing stay after exploring the distillery. It seems a charming spot for those seeking both natural beauty and a touch of local character.”
