We appreciated the staff accommodating my wife’s gluten and dairy allergies. The view of the lake and mountains from the deck and restaurant is amazing! We loved the old Scottish charm of the lodge and the decorations-it feels cozy like a home. Great breakfast and dinner.

Whilst the setting of this property was breathtaking, the rooms were a little tired and there didn’t seem to be enough staff for the number of covers at breakfast and dinner. However the bay man of the Robert Burns bar called Anand was exceptional. His cocktails were amazing and he seemed to be the hardest working member of staff.

We had impeccable service during our stay. Dinner on the outdoor terrace was lovely and the buffet breakfast was also very good! Our room was small and the hotel is quite old, but it was well-appointed with a comfortable bed. Everything made for a very enjoyable stay!

Incredible view from the restaurant. At first the feeling is disarming with a mix of old and new aesthetic but you can tell the business cares about their customers and feedback. The menu is mostly Indian cuisine but this is its unique strength,

We loved our stay!
I am a BIG fan of the Whispering Pine Lodge! The staff was wonderful. The restaurant fantastic. We enjoyed playing cards and having a pint in the Burns bar. The view from the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. It's 15-20 from this hotel into Fort William, but that didn't bother us at all. We were most impressed with our stay. Comfy beds, charming atmosphere. All around great quality stay!

The lodge was almost empty and yet they put us in a room with a view of the trash dumpsters. So not happy. For dinner the gave us a table off the kitchen

Dear Ms. Browning, I was sorry to read that you felt your recent stay with us at The Whispering Pine Lodge was not up to your liking.We are very passionate about the service we deliver to all of our guests. This can of course is seen from the vast majority of the excellent feedback we receive on Expedia I would also like to take the opportunity to put forth our response in reply to your feedback :Room: The category of accommodation initially booked by you was one of our country lodge rooms which overlooks the mountains, since you were not happy with this we upgraded you to our Luxury loch view category at very minimal charges, a last-minute request to change the bed configuration was also entertained to ensure that you have a very pleasant stay despite of hotel being extremely busy with most of our rooms and cabins sold. Dining: We always try to assign the best possible tables to our guests & no table in the restaurant is anywhere less than 15 feet away from the kitchen, again tables are assigned on no. of people in the group & further based on the availability at the time of reservation.In the meantime, I do hope you will consider our justification & will come and stay with us again so we can get the chance to meet your expectations.Yours Sincerely Team Whispering Pine Lodge

What a fantastic find. We stayed in one of the "Cabins" which were well appointed, think more like a lovely house than a rustic cabin. Staff were some of the warmest and friendliest of any place we've stayed at. All thel restaurant and breakfast choices were delicious. Will definitely come back here again.

Lovely hotel in a nice location. Staff were helpful and polite throughout. Only gripe would be that some items at the buffet breakfast weren't very hot and this was just as breakfast had started. Otherwise highly recommended and will stay again

Excellent stay on the loch
Wonderful hotel with delicious Indian food. It’s a beautifully kept place with onsite spa, fantastic view of the loch, excellent little bar and really delightful staff. It’s so nice to stay somewhere where it feels like the staff really love being there, plus I loved the decor which was cozy and comfortable with nods to the traditional.
