Really enjoyed our stay, beautiful place and surroundings. Slight negatives were noise from adjacent rooms and 10am Sunday checkout. Otherwise, food, service and atmosphere all great and plenty of lovely walks.

An amazing village! Will be returning.
The Oak Tree Inn was easily signposted and welcoming upon arrival. We were a little early for check-in but were shown where to park the car and get food. We stayed in a twin room in one of the cottages just down the road from the main reception site and restaurant. The room was clean and warm! Ate in the onsite restaurant both nights good was great and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and helped with directions to places to explore. I would recommend the 'Devil's Pulpit' if you're up for a climb down into the gorge. Also, the Loch ferry across to the village of Luss is great for seeing more of the Loch. Balmaha is a beautiful village and we will definitely be returning on our next Scotland trip.

The blind did not cover the bathroom window so we couldn't use the shower. Room could do with a makeover as looking pretty dated and damaged.

I could rave about how friendly and accomodating the team who runs this B&B is (it's a family business), and how amazing the restaurant was in terms of delicious food options. I thought my cabin was just nice for me, and totally warm and comfortable. My favourite feature: Beautiful Location for views, hiking, attractions, everything! I walked across the street to hike Conic Hill (visitor center right there too), and also walked along the West Highland way from Tom Weir statue loch-side towards the next town, it was lovely. I especially loved the Mocha Cafe and grocery store next door for treats and supplies, everything was within walking distance and super convenient!

Disgraceful and appalling, an absolute blight on Scottish tourism. Booked and paid for a deluxe room which all website photos show as large spacious rooms with separate lounge sitting areas fireplace and balcony with seating. Ended up in a small room 1/3 the size and a smaller uncomfortable bed, no room for our suitcases which we left in the car. Staff assured us restaurant was safe for coeliacs which it is definitely not as it's own menu and other reviews attest to. AVOID!

The room wasn’t presented as shown in the photos, it has at sometime leaked with paint peeling off the wall and had a damp smell. The bedding was clean however the pillow cases were well worn with holes. Bathroom was not particularly clean and there was no storage or any place to put bags. Definitely not worth the price we paid. The area was a great place to visit though.

Breakfast was excellent...... Everything spot on. Evening meal was also excellent, although a little expensive..... But you do get what you pay for.. Umbrellas were a nice touch as required, for walking too and from reception or restaurant.. Would definitely recommend.👍👍

Great stop Day 1 of West Highland walk
Great stop at the end of Day 1 walking the west Highland Way . The room was a little on the small side with virtually no storage places and only a shower not a bath (that would have been perfect). Very clean with tea and coffee facilities. The restaurant was part of the pub which was very busy and was mostly pub food. Staff were very friendly. Only wish there was somewhere for residents to go and relax - ie a few sofas - as we had to sit in the noisy restaurant all evening with all the other pub goers. Great cafe and shop on site to get bits for the next day too. Would book again .

A lovely atmosphere at the Oak Tree Inn. We had two delicious, hearty evening meals. Unable to review the hotel room, however, as we couldn't find our Expedia booking in the preceding days before our arrival. As the payment was not made in advance, we thought we'd failed to complete our booking.

Popular place to stay.
The pod looks fairly new. You can park right outside. Shower was strong and hot apart from the shower cubicle is on the small side. Double bed is comfortable with clean bedding. Once you put the heating on the pod becomes warm. Two down sides, there was no remote for the TV and I couldn't get the WiFi to connect. But once I went to reception and connected it worked fine. The hotel it self is great, good food, nice bar. Also very busy clearly a popular hotel. Really good coffee in the coffee shop.
