The Whispering Pine Lodge

Absolutely our favorite hotel in Scotland! Great service, great dining, lovely views. Quintessential Scottish charm. We were graced with a rainbow over the loch at breakfast. Turn down service was a lovely surprise.

Great little hotel. We stayed in one of the cabins which was clean, spacious, was well appointed and had an amazing view. The service at the hotel was great, everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, and took great care of us.Also, dinner at the brasserie was delicious— I recommend the Indian food. Even if it’s a bit pricier than your standard takeout (take away) it’s very high quality and tasty.

Our stay at Whispering Pines Lodge was perfect. My partner and I came up for a weekend away on the train, and it was everything we needed for a getaway from the city. The staff were so friendly and helpful, even going above and beyond to answer questions and accommodate our requests before our stay. The food was amazing and the view is absolutely unbeatable - you are literally steps from the Loch! Thank you to Puneet and his team for such an enjoyable stay.

Stayed here in September for our honeymoon on our first leg of doing the NC500. This place was honestly just perfection, all the staff are lovely, the food was out of this world, plus our room and bed were super comfortable. We had our dog with us and they couldn’t have been more accommodating for us. We will 100% be back without a doubt.

We arrived home yesterday after a 3 night stay in the Still Waters Cabin. Everything from start to finish was perfect. We couldn't fault anything. Our cabin was beautiful bright and clean, facilities were great and the view was spectacular! In the hotel we ate breakfast and dinner every day and the food was great. All the staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful. We were made to feel so welcome and looked after. They were so lovely with our little boy too. I had a couple of treatments in the Spa and would definitely recommend. We look forward to returning!

An Exceptional visit, from the moment I first spoke to the Hotel Manager Puneet Asawa, I had a good feeling about this place and the booking- I was not disappointed and it indeed exceeded my expectations; set in stunning Highland scenery with breathtaking and ever changing Loch and mountain views. We stayed in a balcony room, which was very well appointed with the luxury of underfloor heating throughout (no ugly radiators!), and breathtaking loch views.The Hotel in general has been thoroughly modernised- but in a tasteful and respectful way- honouring the old Scottish traditions and decoration; it was very clean and well maintained. Magically lit at night, which was particularly appealing, given the time of year. It also has its own private pebble beach, great for our dog swimming! (they accept dogs- which is just as well otherwise we would not have been able to visit), and photographic opportunities.All the staff were wonderful, friendly, smiley and helpful; in particular Puneet, was very welcoming and professional.The main dining room has a warm and airy feel, with fantastic ever-changing views, through full length glass windows, of loch and mountains. On the first morning breakfast was individually cooked and brought to the table (as the hotel was relatively quiet)- this was cooked to perfection, on the other mornings, as they were busier- a buffet style was available- this wasn’t quite as good- but still of a good quality (I perfectly understand that, it is not practical to individually cook breakfasts, when they are busy); in all cases the choice was good and the service excellent throughout. The menu in the evening specialises in Indian food, Scottish/UK and European menus were also available; I have attained a fair degree of competency in the cooking of Indian food myself- all be it in an amateur capacity, as a consequence of this, I am often disappointed when eating out, not in this case! The potato and cauliflower biryani was of exceptional quality, in terms of presentation, spicing and quality and quantity – it was indeed quite something special- that I have been unable to recreate at home!! The restaurant service was also very good, as was the house red wine- which they hold back for the next evening- if you don’t finish the whole bottle on the first night. The restaurant food and wine prices are a little ‘toppy’, but the quality and service are excellent.One nice touch, in the afternoon a young man would come to our room and offer complimentary bottled water and a cake, this was appreciated.The hotel has an onsite spar treatment rooms, which my Wife commented were excellent.All in all, a big thank you to all the staff, we had a most enjoyable stay, certainly the best Hotel we have stayed at in the UK.

What a surprise! After much google searching for an all-in-one stay- dine- relax option in the Lochs region, I settled on Whispering Lines and it was a very fortunate selection. Although I did not have a reason for a future trip to Scotland, generally, this wonderful place has carved out its own reason to visit again with a group of friends. The cottage option was special. Not inexpensive but good value. The food was international (esp for the Scots) and all well prepared. The staff and their care were exceptional - I have traveled widely and don’t like to be fussed over unnecessarily but smart and attentive assistance is invaluable, which was my experience. I can recommend this establishment.

Stayed on 3-for-2 nights offer. Great boutique hotel. Beautiful views out the front. Building is nice, well restored, cosy. Large restaurant and breakfast area. Rooms large enough to be easily comfortable for 2. Shower only, good size. Bathroom seems not to have independent heating. Hotel is on the road, so very easy to reach, but you can hear a little road noise if your room is on that side. Breakfast varied in quality between 3 and 4 stars. Decent selection of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and cooked items, plus porridge on request (which was excellent). Good coffee. Staff helpful and friendly. Would stay again.

My husband and I loved our stay here. The views from our balcony were stunning and the beach was very nice and well taken care of. The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and professional though there might be understaffing at the restaurant given the pace. Afternoon tea was a nice added touch esp with the views from the restaurant. It is a great place for a quiet, slightly isolated getaway.
