Staff: Staff are consistently praised for their friendliness, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure guest comfort. They provide personalized service, accommodate special requests, and create a welcoming atmosphere.

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend at the magical Taychreggan where we had exclusive use of the hotel for our friends and family to celebrate my birthday. We ate lovely food in the dining room which was beautifully set up, we ceilidh danced in the orangerie, swam and canoed on the loch, sang around the fire pits and blethered in the bar. The staff were wonderful, they were so friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfort and enjoyment, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was warm, spotless and welcoming, the whole vibe was amazing!! We are so so grateful to Pranav and his brilliant team for creating an unforgettable weekend.

We stayed for two nights between the 4th and 5th of this month. There is so much being done at this place to improve the guest experience, my advice is, get in quick before they fully achieve their ambitions, because you won't be able to get a booking there any more. So many little generous and deft touches are being applied it is difficult to know where to start. The real candles along the main passageway on the ground floor on their own must take half an hour to light in the evening. Absolutely every member of staff we talked to was friendly, informative and helpful. The food was excellent, the barman knew his whisky. Location here is key. Purched on the edge of the lock the views from the front rooms and bedrooms are like staring into some old master painting, but watching it change every few moments with the wind, light, water surface. You can do this eating your Eggs Benedict or generous full Scottish breakfast in the morning from the excellently located restaurant. There are two. One for those who are travelling with their dogs and another for those who are not. Very thoughtful. If you want uniformity and fresh paint , maybe go for a Travelodge or something similar. Nothing wrong there and you usually know what you are going to get, if that is important to you. If you want creativity, an ambition for excellence, the human touch and massive stuffed game fish on the wall with photos of the massive stuffed old buffers who caught them on a rod that looks like it was made out of garden cane you won't be disappointed with the Taychreggain Hotel. Choose life.
