Beautiful property. Really nice and helpful staff. Comfortable lodging. Good food and drink on the property. Because we were leaving early one morning, they made us a breakfast basket that also worked for our lunch!

Relaxing Beautiful Vacation

Excellent on all levels. Scottish hospitality was abundant. We arrived at the train station and the staff came to collect us and was constantly available to assist us with travel and tours. Food was amazing. Atmosphere and scenery stunning! Worth every pence!

Lovely lodge

We stayed in one of the hotel lodges. Ours had 2 double beds and one king size. All rooms were a good size and beds very comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms were fitted recently and were very clean. Large, comfortable living room and decking. Would recommend

Very secluded, a number of miles down a single track road with passing places. The hotel itself is the key property down the road with no shops. The property has its own harbour with boats and fishing equipment. There are electrical car charging points if you need them. Very dog friendly with free treats. The restaurant was very good and all the staff extremely friendly. Fantastic views across the loch.

Old school furnishings .dirty

Outdated . Service in restaurant was slow . Menu is outdated . Breakfast was good but had to ask to be served 5 times in the span of 40 minutes. Staff seemed stressed . Dirty towels in the room .hole in the roof where a lightbulb should have been . Shampoo bottles dirty and empty in the bathroom . Great location and amazing view but the place was a letdown .

Hotel fronte lago, con appartamenti su 2 piani ben arredati e completi di tutti gli accessori. Il giudizio eccellente è dato sostanzialmente per la posizione, la struttura isolata nel bosco si affaccia direttamente sul lago. Ogni appartamento ha un terrazzino con una vista incredibile. Il resto, è in linea con gli standard scozzesi.

Never coming back

Hotel a bit dated, staff nice however we had difficulties finding our room and nobody would actually come and help us. The rooms have names not numbers so there was no indication which way to look for it. we were told our room was on the second floor, we checked them all and didn’t find, then we checked first floor, still nothing, went back to the reception and received the same directions. We did this all with our bags in might add. Eventually we have found it at the end of the corridor behind the emergency door. The room and bathroom was a bit dated but the worst was the water, it was yellow. We were having dinner at the hotel restaurant and despite the fact the restaurant wasn’t even full we waited over an hour for our food. We we’re staying only for one night and we’re actually happy to leave early in the morning.

Hotel Portsonachan was one of our top experiences during our travels! It’s just what we needed when we were ready to escape the cities and unwind with nature. The beauty is incredible there & the staff made our stay even better! We enjoyed the welcoming feeling of it being like a home away from home-especially since we were a long ways from home! Highly recommend!
