The initial welcome could have been less ‘can I help you’ and more ‘welcome to the old pines hotel do you have a reservation ?’

Quiet and comfortable.

Lovely simple family run hotel with a real gem of a restaurant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Pines Hotel and Restaurant. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. The location was truly remarkable, offering breathtaking views of the Ben Nevis range and overlooking a charming small creek, visible from the dining room as well. The breakfast spread was impressive, with plenty of options for a shorter stay. However, it was the dinner experience that truly stood out. It was one of the best dinners we had in Scotland, with ever-changing daily menus accompanied by stunning views. Highly recommended!

Barking dog in room next door, as it's owners had left the room

We didn't book a table in restaurant. Staff very accommodating as we arrived later than expected. They managed to get us a table and it was well worth it. The set menu was absolutely delicious. Lovely room and very comfortable.

The room for breakfast and dinner was really really cold. I sneezed all the time here, the food became quickly cold and I had to wear my jacket for dinner. Please turn up the temperature. Would be great to have smart TV as well as most people travel for hike and want to rest in room the evenings.

Breakfast was really good and the restaurant as well. The view is fantastic.

A mixture of up-an market restaurant and rooms in a "lodge" style. Pleasing views across the grounds towards the Ben Nevis range of mountains and close to the "Commando" memorial. Heavy emphasis on the food both for dinner and breakfast but the rooms were clean, well-appointed and comfortable.

Could do with area set aside somewhere to allow having breakfast accompanied by well behaved dog. Others do this

Excellent cooked breakfast great choice of cooked. Panoramic views ofBen Nevis from dining area. Dog made very welcome, but not allowed in dining area. Wonderful 3 mile circular walk directly accessed from hotel

I couldn't help but notice that one of the managers could possibly be a bit more approachable. As I was about to check out, I felt a slight disconnect when I wanted to inquire about purchasing some snacks to take away. While there was nothing explicitly negative about her words or behaviours, a warmer and friendlier approach would have made the experience even better.

It truly stood out as a highlight of our trip. The room's comfort and cleanliness provided me with the best sleep of our highland journey. The delectable biscuits in the room were a delightful surprise, although I regret not inquiring about the possibility of purchasing more. Our dinner reservation was equally impressive, with exceptional food that left a lasting impression. I wholeheartedly endorse this wonderful establishment to fellow travellers.

Good enough food but not to the point of showing off with those micro portions for dinner and breakfast. Or at least ask if one wishes for more. For instance a serving of porridge was taking up all of the bottom of a teacup...

Pleasant atmosphere of the woodpannelled accomodation

Beautiful location, small hotel, very comfortable and nice decor. Geese and goats provide entertainment outside. If you eat dinner you have to eat the set menu which seemed dear. However we were wanting a treat on our holiday and it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful food, made with care looking out over the Ben Nevis and grey Corrie ranges. Great veggie options. Very special. Breakfast was also delicious with a good choice for vegetarians. Property is pet friendly but pets not allowed in restaurant or lounge. When you realise how small the area is it’s completely understandable and our dog was fine in the room for a couple of hours after a good walk. The walking and scenery is magnificent and the restaurant a great place to take advantage of the views.
