“The craic was good”

Clachaig Inn

May 15, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

Spent two nights at the Claichaig Inn during May.

This hotel has a great location right in the middle of Glen Coe. A home from home for weary climbers, walkers or softies like me. Sign at reception says' No hawkers or Campbells'. You will soon learn why.

Very welcoming from the start. All of the staff we dealt with were enthusiastic, efficient helpfull and friendly. Rooms are not luxurious, but are adequate. Try to get a room with a view over Glen Coe. Ones at the back have a view over roof and kitchen, with more distant 'mountain' views. There are also self - catering lodges in the grounds, which looked fine from the outside.

Food is fine, with generous portions. Available all day from about 12 noon until 9.00pm. There are three bars: a lounge, a quieter eating room and the famous 'Boots Bar', which is where it all happens. If you are there on a Saturday night, there will probably be some live music in here. Great fun, with a real mix of customers - climbers and bikers - a real great atmosphere. Try the heather beer - its magic!

“Full of character, in an amazing location”

Clachaig Inn

May 3, 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

I'm frankly amazed by the couple of bad reviews the Clachaig Inn received. Okay, so it's my no means a luxurious place to stay and it's not without it's flaws, but it has bags of character (not to mention great beers). It's also worth mentioning that the Clachaig Inn isn't in Glencoe Village - it's in the most amazing location, slap bang in the middle of Glencoe. I did a lot of research when I was looking for somewhere to stay in Glencoe in different price ranges. The posher places were over priced old fashioned and a bit naff. The other comparable B&Bs just didn't have as much about them. I'm absolutely convinced this was the best choice.

The Inn has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were really helpful. My room (room 20) was spacious and had brilliant views of the glen. The room was very clean and had no chintz (which is amazingly difficult to find in some bits of Scotland). On the downside, the bed wasn't brilliant (the bed sheets were far from top quality Eygptian cotton!).

The food was standard pub grub: pie, steak, fish (all with chips). The cooked breakfast was fine (buffet of cereal, followed by fry up).

If you have expectations of a slick hotel serving poncey haute cuisine you'll be disappointed. If want to stay somewhere with character, then you'll be really happy here.

3/5 found this review helpful

Stayed with friends - we were all rather disappointed. The room was very basic - more like a rustic cabin than a hotel room. Hotel seemed to be run by Aussie students. Food in the bar was awful. The worst fish & chips I ever had - so overcooked so the batter splintered when cut and this fish inside was dry and crusty. The beer in the bar was also mediocre - four Scottish beers served through sparklers - don't know how CAMRA can recommend this one. The bar was full of screaming kids when we were there so we had a rotten experience all round. Breakfast was completely forgettable with very rushed and perfunctory service. We only stayed one night so maybe we were unlucky.

My wife and I stayed at the Clachaig Inn on 06 Sept. 05 We has not stayed there before and we pleasantly surprised The accommodation was very clean and spacious. Food was of good quality and served until 9pm which was good as we arrived late ! We are both vegetarian and there were several different main course choices - a change from the usual lasagne fare

The CAMRA recognised pub had a great choice of beers and wines

We would certainly recommend this place when visiting the Glencoe area

“Loved it and will return”

Clachaig Inn

3/3 found this review helpful

Wonderful rustic inn nestled amongst mountains and greenery. If you're a serious hiker or cyclist, this is the place for you. We couch potatoes passed on strenuous hiking but greatly enjoyed our stay & leisurely walks in this most beautiful setting. Rooms are somewhat spartan but spacious, clean & comfortable. En suite facilities, t.v. but no telephone. The staff was friendly & helpful. Complimentary Scottish breakfast is quite good as was food served in the restaurant and bars. Yes, we tried Haggis & it was tasty. The full-service bars offer a vast selection of single-malt scotches (120 I believe) as well as locally brewed ales. We had a great stay and look forward to a return visit. The only suggestion for improvement would be faster email confirmation of reservations and response to emails.
