The accommodation provides exceptional service, spacious and beautiful rooms, and a unique location. However, some guests felt it was overpriced with expensive food.

Prices start at £4 or £5 per night... This is an old castle hotel on the west side of the Scottish Highlands. From a common area point of view everything is well done and impeccable. But from the point of view of the rooms...the price/performance ratio is obviously super low. The facilities are outdated, so I asked for a humidifier... A hair dryer that was produced 20 years ago came, which was completely unacceptable and had no humidifying effect at all. The shower room has very strict requirements on the size of the guests, and I personally feel that the water pressure can be further improved and improved. The laudable point is that the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap in the bathroom...all have two ball royal certifications, and the quality is also carried. The cold and hot water device of the washbasin is a traditional separate type, which is the kind of water that you either use cold water or hot water, and it cannot be warm water anyway. The sofa in the guest room is made of fabric. The disadvantage is that you can't see whether it has lice or whether it is clean. Anyway, it is so old that people don't want to sit on it at all. The carpet is lint-free, which means it's "aged". Well, let's talk about the public area: the restaurant's production is still quite standard, with Michelin standards, whether it's dinner or breakfast... It's pretty good, but the quality of the coffee is not good. The service staff are warm, courteous, serious and smiling. There are several casual living rooms and even dining rooms in the indoor public area, all of which are luxurious, comfortable, freehand, and comfortable, and there is nothing to fault. There are a large number of areas in the outdoor woods and paths that need to be improved, such as greening projects. One last thing to add: parking is free. After all, the owner, Mr. Chai, is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. The land of the ancient castle covers an area of 5,000 acres... If parking charges are required... it would be too stingy. In general...you can say that it is an ancient European style, but I personally think that the ancient European style does not necessarily need to update or refresh the facilities and furniture. Especially with such a large area, if the greening is not done well... it really responds to the old saying "gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing in it".

Inverlochy Castle was very disappointing and not worth the effort it takes to get there. The castle and guest rooms are dated and are in need of complete updating. After being shown our room which was in desperate need of a renovation, we asked to move to a different room - something to which I gather that they're unaccustomed. The new room, while an improvement, was in a different building so we had to trudge through the rain and mist for every meal. And the pathway was dark and not particularly well lit. When we inquired about the activities we realized that they were very limited, particularly in the fall months. And since we were without a car we felt stranded. Other than a walk through the grounds (which are quite beautiful) there isn't even a fitness center or small room to work out. So, if it's raining, which it often is, there's not too much to do. The staff, while pleasant and polite, was very young and inexperienced. They need to import senior, experienced and well-trained staff from other comparatively priced properties. Both sinks in the bathroom were clogged and the clock was not functioning. We did report this and one sink was unclogged by the staff, but the other repairs were not made during our 2 night stay. How is it that housekeeping can clean a room several times a week, if not daily, and not notice such things? Dinner in the main dining room is pre fixe and while the food was good, not outstanding as it should have been for the price ($188 excluding beverages) and the fuss they made over it, there is only one main course so if you don't eat say, venison, or they're serving some other food you may dislike, you'll be out of luck. The food at the alternative restaurant - The Factors Pub, was average at best though the French fries were excellent. Overall, this was a very disappointing and expensive stay and I would not recommend it unless they make some significant improvements.

Staying in a castle in Scotland dream come true! Like being a princess. Something out of Downton Abby. It’s everything you could ever want it to be.

The main castle and grounds are nice and definitely recommended. We wanted to stay an additional night, almost two month before our date of visit, they could only offered us a room in their so called garden rooms outside of the castle and promised to the room is as nice. For nearly the same price the garden room was very basic and half size as our room in the castle itself. Very disingenuous! We reserved dining at their Michelin star restaurant, the service was excellent, but the food was averaged. There are much better restaurants around Fort William.

A very pleasant surprise. The hotel is located just outside of Fort William (thankfully). A picturesque estate. We stayed in a coach house room, which was nicely appointed with parking right outside the door. Modern heritage style. Fantastic view of Ben Nevis. Dinner in the main house was wonderful. As you would expect from Mr Roux junior at £145, it should be excellent and did not disappoint. Cocktail on arrival, pianist in the hall and great food. We could not fault the place, apart from the soulless pub on the grounds. I totally recommend Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

My wife and have spent two weeks in Scotland at the Kimpson , New Hall Mains Inverlochy Castle and Glen Eagle . All four locations offered amazing locations . Inverlochy Castle and grounds were first class . Inverlochy was a bust from checking in with staff very disorganized and not prepared . We found then poorly trained and witnessed a scolding outside the billiard room of the staff from a guest complaint . It was very disappointing. The meal in the main dining room was barely edible but the meal and service at Factors Inn was limited but was great . Sorry for bad review ! They could take an amazing property and match the service expected for a Luxury Property
