This beautiful former hunting lodge enjoys a spectacular location, set in 9 acres of woodland overlooking Loch Lochy.

I adore this place. Family run business. They go out of their way to make you feel incredibly welcome. The food is fantastic. Beautiful location next to the Loch and they even lend you fishing rods to try your luck at catching some dinner. Lovely bar to relax in after dinner, living room with a cosy fire to have a drink before dinner and the rooms are really comfortable and clean. I can't wait to visit again!
The Whispering Pine Lodge is a tranquil Highland retreat set against a backdrop of steep forested mountains on the banks of Loch Lochy.

Loved that it was dog friendly and had a we gift for my dog. Stunning view/location. Breakfast was amazing! I could also see they're in the process of building a sauna and hot tub which will really elevate what they have with the spa. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. My dog felt like a celebrity trotting down the halls and having doors open for her

The best part of my stay here was cleanliness and the hot shower. After a long day of hiking, a nice hot powerful shower is just pure bliss and the room I stayed in had a lovely clean and spacious shower with excellent water pressure and hot water. The second best part was the thoughtfulness of a fridge in the room.
Everything was spotlessly clean. Good tea / coffee / breakfast facilities.
I was in touch with Smaxi regarding arrival times, entry codes, etc. and the communication was timely, friendly and excellent.

A great quiet location and a really nice space with seperate bedroom, dining/lounge and bathroom. All extremely clean and our host was incredibly friendly and always available if we needed anything, which we didnt, as she provided everything including more food than we could eat :)

The room was clean and comfortable, plus it looked like it had been recently refurbished. The shower was good. The staff/owners were helpful and very friendly. We wished we had had dinner at the hostel because it looked nice and we would have preferred to eat there. The kitchenette was good, but their breakfasts looked good too.
Ideally situated, Old Pines Hotel and Restaurant is a 4-star hotel with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and stunning views of Ben Nevis. Fort William is a short drive away.

Lovely simple family run hotel with a real gem of a restaurant.
Loved the place.
Found the pot holes quite unbelievable.

Found the pot holes quite unbelievable. It’s a country wide problem I know, but I’ve never seen so many dangerous pot holes on the roads. Sadly we got Quite a big bill for the one we went over.

The views are simply stunning and beautiful.
The views are simply stunning and beautiful.
Our room overlooked the loch simply stunning 😊
Would be nice to have had the property lit up for night travellers new to the area and location.
Also would be lovely to meet the carers of the lodge too so face to face communication is readily avaliable for the lodge users.
If staying with family be aware of noise from other people around the house as it can feel loud due to the lodge being small.
Apart from that free parking and beautiful location of rural Scotland 😊

Great location, very friendly staff, clean and comfortable...
Great location, very friendly staff, clean and comfortable hotel.
There s a cosy well stocked bar, a restaurant overlooking the loch and excellent service.
The food is good with an Indian style although local dishes and produce are also well featured. The buffet breakfast is very good and will set you up for the day. The Hotel also offers guests without their own transport a drop off and collect service in the local area allowing one way walks to be planned.
Self contained apartments are also available on site as is a Spa treatment service which my wife thoroughly recommends.
This is one of three in the chain of Black Sheep hotels in the Highlands.

Re - Osprey Suite, Letterfinlay House Lodge.
Arrival -
Re - Osprey Suite, Letterfinlay House Lodge.
Arrival -
On arrival we found the accommodation to be filthy and not Covid prepared. See pics of kitchen and sitting room. The deck furniture was rusty and not fit for use. The deck table had smear of sticky clear liquid on its surface. We were informed that complimentary wine was available for us - no complimentary wine was available for us.
The accommodation claims “Extra health & safety measures” re Coronavirus. This is not apparent and doesn’t exist.
Communication -
We called the owner to make complaint re above within the hour of arrival. I informed him of the shocking presentation. His manner was initially defensive and then, very quickly, aggressive and unpleasant. He put the phone down on me, made no further offer of explanation or support and left my partner completely traumatised. We immediately left the property after the call.
Verdict -
Utterly appalling presentation of holiday accommodation and customer service - especially with prevalence of Covid and expected standards of hygiene. The owner has refused to reimburse our holiday fee - £470. We are liaising with booking.com and external tourism related advisors to recover our costs with added compensation for additional expenses and trauma that we incurred.

This is a great base for exploring the surrounding area...
This is a great base for exploring the surrounding area either by foot or car with Fort William about 10 miles to the South. That is if you can draw yourself away from the hotel's relaxing atmosphere and stunning views!
We loved the character of this old hunting lodge which has had a very stylish make over. Everything is very high quality, including the service. We just had a standard double but our room was just lovely. Bed linen, fluffy bathrobes and towels are top notch and the bed massive and very comfy. The restaurant is also very good. It’s not cheap but the food is great and the menu has something for everyone. We really enjoyed the curries. We also enjoyed the cosy bar and enjoyed a very decent massage in the little spa.
If you want a 5 * luxury spa with bistro menu then this is not the place for you
If you want to be treated like a guest and not a room number by people who care , in fabulous surroundings then stay here.
These places are rare to find, where time has paused and quality has been maintained.
The food is outstanding and service exceptional.
Your own loch access and plenty to do in the area.
No wonder guests return
Everything about our stay was incredible. If only we could have stayed longer.
The room and the view was incredible. The staff were 10-steps ahead of us with anything we may have needed.
The hotel bar was fully stocked and a cozy atmosphere. The food at the Restaurant was 10/10. The spa was able to book a couple’s massage with 30 minutes notice and the massage’s were so relaxing.
Would absolutely recommend.
The Letterfinlay House is located in an amazing spot right on the lake! We loved the location! We actually wish that we could have stayed longer! The house was clean and we had the pleasure of meeting the hosts the day we checked out. They were very kind and informative about nearby attractions. We highly recommend this location for lodging while in Ft Williams!
Great hotel, with the best staff service I have had for years
Great location, peaceful and calm
Great room, with a wonderful view on the lake
Excellent terrace, where we had an evening drink
Great restaurant, with excellent food (including indian choices)
Really lovely stay at Letterfinlay, fantastic views and the bar & restaurant in the hotel next door were super convenient and really nice. Everything was clean and comfortable, close to Fort William and to the hills, had a fantastic stay!
Amazing location definitely worth the stay!
Next door there is a high end hotel for 500 a night so you get the same location for less than half the price .
Definitely recommend it !
Thank you for your hospitality!
Hotel was spotlessly clean with such a relaxing atmosphere.
Staff were friendly and ever so helpful, always smiling.
Food was delicious
Our room was beautiful and we had an amazing view of the Loch.
Stunning location overlooking loch with balcony. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Decent en suite. Plenty of parking. Had excellent dinner at hotel next door - Whispering Pines.
Nice room bathroom newly renovated. View from across the road of the Loch and pebbled beach at Loch private to the hotel. Family run and the cook was very good. Food was beautiful.
Lovely family run hotel, we had one of the best meals here in quiet surroundings with an excellent view of the glen and loch lochy. The service was great and felt very welcoming.
Very good hotel, the room was very comfortable and the terrace is very nice! The possibility to have the dinner in the restaurant right next to the hotel is easy!
Lovely hotel in a stunning location. Friendly staff and a total switch off of a weekend. Great location for exploring the Nevis range and cairngorm national park.
Views from the dining room were fabulous and access to a private beach was a bonus. The hotel was in a good location for exploring the Great Glen/Ben Nevis area.
