Onich Hotel & Lochside Beach Pods

Really great Hotel. Cheapest around as well so don’t really get when people book cheap hotels and complain that it’s not 5* 😂. Location is amazing. The Loch is beautiful. Staff are really nice. Rooms have everything you need and are quite spacious. Food is really good although a wee bit expensive but still good sized portions.

The staff is excellent. The facility could use a refresh with paint of thresholds and railings. Dinner was delicious!

The view was 5 stars and that is where the 5 star experience stopped. We booked a room for a family of four and ended up in a “pod” which was essentially a storage shed turned into sleeping quarters. It was tiny and barely fit our family. The hot water in the shower was tepid at best and lasted only a few minutes before it w my cold. The worst part of this experience was that the pod backed up to the highway and you could hear every car go by and actually feel the entire pod shake when trucks passed. Unfortunately there was road construction going on ALL night so we had to listen to banging and backup alarms all through the night.

We stayed in the self catering cottage, just to let you know before booking, you're at the side of the main road with no view of the lake and mountains ( unless you sit outside listening to continued traffic ) due to absence of windows, although on first look it's nice but the smell soon becomes apparent of damp, the door doesn't fit so you have the noise of road traffic and a draught. The mattress on the bed was very firm and stained put me off sleeping in it, although sheets were white and clean. Photo on website looks like it's peaceful and quiet, traffic started to calm after 11pm so we were able to sleep after we turned fridge off as it sounded like a generator Food in restaurant isn't the best, my ceaser salad was left overs I think as all the croutons were soggy from being stored in a container ( my assumption), my husband's pie was a small dish of stew with a puff disc on top with assumption of frozen veg. The pods look nice and all had a balcony view, but I didn't want to pay over £550 for 2 x nights so got the cottage for 450.00, now I know why, so if the view doesnt matter in this beautiful part of the country and you don't mind a bit of smelly damp, traffic and a stained mattress with a generator for a fridge , go for the cottage. Hope this review helps as it would have me in making my mind up to look for something else

Small but comfy room - would pay more and select a rear room away from the road next time though. Great clothes drying room - very welcome after a long cycle! Breakfast was great. Manager very helpful.

this hotel dates back to the sixties style,old pine bedroom fittings,no storage space,a mere trickle of hot water [if you were lucky]view overlooking car park. pricey for area.worst hotel on our six week trip.would not recomend this place,
