Friendly, immaculate, historic with amazing views!
I booked my trip at the last minute and an overnight camp in the wild, we had the most wonderful hotel waiting for us. I’ve traveled to many places and stayed in many hotels. This is a really special place and historic building. I loved every minute of my stay, thank you!

Superb place would highly recommend!
I went with a friend fof her birthday up the west coast of scotland and we decided to extend our stay and chose the Hollytree last minute. But what a fabulous choice! The views were incredible, the room was very spacious and the twin beds felt comfy and cosy! The lesuire facilities were also great - pool and jacuzzi where we met some other tourists. The breakfast was superb and the hosts were ever so polite - Magdalene was ever so nice and told us of nice walks to do round the area.
Over all very friendly and amazing place would suit family, friends or just a romantic getaway with a partner🙂

The hotel was in a quiet area with great views across Loch Linnhe. The room and entire property were very clean. Room was spacious. Water pressure was very good in the shower. Staff was very attentive, especially in the restaurant and bar areas. The bathroom was dated and the bed was a wee bit harder than we would have preferred. Overall it was a nice small hotel that fit our needs very well.
