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.

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!

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Outdated .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 Menu is outdated .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 .

Nice Loch Side Hotel
Nice loch side hotel. Clean with bottled water in the room. A bit tricky getting proper water temperature at first, but fogured it out. Had dinner once and continental breakfast once..bith were acceptable. *Note* we arrived after dark using the gps in our rental car. It showed "you have arrived" in the middle of nowhere. Proceed on another 1/2 mi and you will find it.
