Loch Leven Hotel & Distillery

I enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Loch Leven Hotel this evening and can highly recommend. We had the special broccoli soup and mussels to start, followed by Fish and Chips and a Sea Bass, which was gorgeous. The ambiance was lovely, food arrived in good time, hot and nicely presented, and the service was excellent. You must also try their homemade gin! Thank you to the team for a lovely evening.

Well ……. arrived at september 3. for three nights. We were placed in a tiny, worn down room in a tacky sidebuilding. I could not go through the door ….. I am 185 cm. The room had sloping walls and really needed a handyman. There was a very small window, which was the only opportunity for fresh air and light. The toilet is small and had no shelf to put toiletry bags. There was actually nothing in the room except toilet and shower. The hot water was made by an eletric water heater. It worked “on and of” - so we were cooked or cooled down. Terrible. The room was clean when we arrived. On the second day without any kind of cleaning or inspektion we went to the reception. We had very wet and dirty towels - no toilet paper - a dirty carpet - and an overflowing garbage can. The guy in the reception couldn’t care less. We should ask for cleaning. In our booking confirmation daily cleaning is included. The hotel has a destillery. We bought a gin tasting and tour in the destillery. The previously owner (sold the hotel two months ago) gave us the tour. He must be laughing all the way to the bank ;-) He is a lot better at distilling gin than running a hotel - end the new owner is obviously not more skilled. The room where we were were staying, was at a level like a cheep hostel. It is totally overpriced - over £ 200 per night. We are going to a Marriott Hotel tomorrow. It is £ 20 cheaper per night for a real **** hotel with a real **** breakfast. The food in the restaurant was good and honest. We will give the extremely nice and serviceminded waiter in the restaurant - a lady from Hungary - five stars. It is really sad, that she has to work in a place like this.

My husband and I stayed here for one night. It is a very old but quaint hotel with a great restaurant and bar. The room was comfortable. The bathroom was small. I'm not sure if it had air conditioning but we just opened the windows. We had an amazing view of the Loch. We had an awesome experience at the small bar (pub). We met the most amazing local family whose grandfather had just passed away so they were having the after funeral dinner there. It was so much fun! The restaurant was really good too with good service. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very average. Food was good but service ordinary. Waitress seemed vague and waiter was totally engrossed in an American group neglecting some others. I.e. presented a table to us. Sat Americans down, offered bottles of water, waited on for drinks etc. we had to go to bar and ask about drinks, then they offered service. Still no water, had to ask. My thoughts the waiter was working hard on the Americans for tips. A little unprofessional. Food was good but a little pricey for what it was.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The hotel is intimate and quaint. The staff were nice and out going as well.
