Stunning Hotel in a stunning area with beautiful views over the loch. Very nice restaurants, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Rooms very clean and well appointed. Would have liked a bigger bath would be the only comment I would make but that's being very picky. Not the cheapest but you certainly get what you pay for.

The setting is absolutely stunning and with a few tweaks here and there this would be a fabulous hotel. However, unfortunately there was clearly some sort of mould issue in the bathroom which is not very pleasant and not expected in a 5 star hotel. We also did not receive our evening turn down service and as a result had to go to the reception for new towels etc. We ate in the restaurant for lunch and the food was good, albeit more on the expensive side. Breakfast was also nice. Overal

My husband and I booked 2 nights at Fonab Castle and we had a wonderful time. We were greeted at the door by very friendly door staff who helped us with our luggage and gave us a tour of the castle. All the staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating . The castle is beautiful and the room was spotless and very grand. We had our dinner and breakfast at the castle which was excellent. We also had spa treatments on our last day, treatments were so relaxing. Would highly recommend Fonab Castle as a stay, we will definitely be planning another trip.
