Loch Rannoch Hotel & Estate

Very family orientated Food was ok but disappointed that we didn’t get to eat in the main restaurant because it was always full and for the fact that The vegetarian option (no choice ) was disappointing and this is why we did not eat in this restaurant a d I would not class this as a. al a. Carte meal. We won’t be returning

lovely room view of loch, staff friendly, breakfast great, evening meal ok portion sizes too big even kids menu on large size did bring starter and main course at same time which was a little strange lovely hotel ideal fir places i wanted to visit hitel has charactor

My family (wife and two kids 5 and 8 years) and I visited the hotel on the last weekend of January. We stayed two nights and had booked one of the contemporary family rooms. The room had plenty of space, even with 4 beds (2 double and 2 single beds). The hotel is in a great location on the banks of Loch Rannoch, with a 14min walk into Kinloch Rannoch. The hotel had two of its three restaurants open for dinner, with one open for lunch. Breakfast worked well in the small restaurant and we were lucky enough to get a seat by the window, overlooking the loch. A good selection of continental breakfast, with a larger cooked to order breakfast. While there we also made us of the swimming pool, which worked great and the sauna and steam room available. Good size pool and a good depth for the kids, not too deep basically. The biggest hit was probably the climbing wall within the marina area, where you'll also find a gym and bike hire. Overall a really nice two night stay and the team were fantastic and made us feel really at home. Somewhere I would be keen to visit in the summer, taking in the water sports and back to the climbing wall

We were so disappointed with this hotel, it ruined our holiday. We had booked 3 nights away is what was supposed to be a spa hotel. We arrived at 5.40, their children were really looking forward to a swim but we’re told the pool closed at 6. We decided to get settled in to the room and get dinner. We were told that they did not serve the children’s menu in the main dining room only in the bar. Basically saying kids are not welcome in the dining room, although it is supposed to be family friendly. I advised the receptionist our children would eat from the main menu, we were still seated in the bar. The bar was really cold and the food was disappointing. The room we were given was dirty, the bath was full of hair, shower screen covered in soap and there was thick dust and cobwebs on the walls. My daughter then found a half eaten bag of popcorn beside her bed. I phoned reception and complained, was told they could clean our room bike we had dinner but I requested a new room. The new room was nice but smelt strongly of bleach to over compensate obviously. The next morning was the biggest disappointment. We went to use the spa after breakfast, we were all really looking forward to a cozy spa and a swim. I was shocked at the conditions in the spa. I have attached photos for you to see for yourself. The changing facilities were disgusting. One communal dirty shower for the whole female changing area. The pool was freezing. The steam room was out of order and sauna filthy.

Picturesque location. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and freshly modernised, some areas of the hotel were a little tired, for example the carpet on the very stunning old staircase and along the corridor to our room. The pool area was clean, well maintained and a very relaxing place to sit and chill. Food was good. Would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Really excellent hotel with friendly staff who could probably do with more training but overall my room was large, stylish and fresh. The breakfast was excellent and The Wild Brownie Bar ideal for families. A superb part of Scotland.

We had a great time. Very comfortable, room was lovely, food was delicious. Staff in the restaurant was great, a little bit slow after we had the main meal and took a while to order dessert,not a big issue but with young children it's difficult to keep them waiting. Everything else was amazing including the pool, water a little cold, changing room cold. I did see this on another review prior to going so had the kids to shower back in the hotel. Staff at reception, restaurant and breakfast were lovely and help us with a smile and nothing was a problem to ensure we were happy.

Great value food for kids. Nice break .

Good family room, friendly staff throughout.

We stayed with our two very young children in a family room. No advice / warning to pre book a table in lead up to our stay. We received a phone call at 18:00 when we were nearing the hotel so say no tables available until 8:50pm. No room service or flexibility to collect and take to room so we had to detour in the highlands to find somewhere to grab a takeaway as clearly two young children would not sit in a restaurant at that time of night. After a long day of travelling, when we eventually arrived at hotel, we struggled to find a parking spot, the bedroom window was open so room was freezing cold and it didn’t shut properly. Not ideal for a nine month old and three year old. My husband went to grab some drinks from bar to bring back to room … no beer on tap, no cocktails despite website advertising them and most of the staff we encountered were rude and / or unhelpful. Breakfast was good thankfully but we were left bitterly disappointed as website sold a different experience.
