Although we were expecting to get the keys from the lockbox we were actually met and it was done for us. It was cosy, compact with everything necessary, and near all facilities.

Friendly staff. Nice balcony in the upstairs bar/restaurant area with a good view. Good lasagna for supper but quite a small portion for a hungry walker!

So well equipped. Lovely inside and out. Lovely seats to enjoy the river. And amazingly compact but has everything you’d need.
Set in an acre of beautiful grounds, Tigh na Cheo also boasts views of the surrounding Highlands. At the gateway to the West Highland Way footpath, there is a free car park and bike storage.

The cutest guesthouse in such a gorgeous village. The property was beautiful, the breakfast was delicious (I had the smoked salmon) and the host was so helpful and kind. Definitely the most romantic spot we stayed during our 2 weeks in the UK. Highly highly recommend!

Clean, comfortable, stunning views. Good hostel facilities. Nice garden area. Hot showers. Spacious room. Midge nets on windows.
The place was extremely nice. You could take this place for staycation. Thé location was also nice and quiet with mountain view and riverside activities. The house could accommodate 4 people. It was neat and clean and had all the required amenities in it. But there is only very few shops nearby.

Nice stopover for WHW walkers with co-op for shopping and a nice pub serving good food, The Tailrace Inn, all in easy walking distance. Easy scenic bus service to Fort William for those who are blistered or knee-wracked or just plain tired.

Lovely quiet place, an ideal launching point to climb the Mamore hills, or else a short drive over to Glen Coe or Glen Nevis. Some other pretty local walks, although be aware all of them involve an uphill slog of 200-300 metres early on.

We had a brief stay in Kinlochleven but we will certainly return. We had an evening meal at the Trail Race Inn which was lovely. We enjoyed the friendly warm atmosphere. The village seems friendly and very scenic.

After a very long walk in to Kinlochleven a visit to the pub, the Tailrace Inn, was in order prior to going to the campsite. Very friendly. The town seemed very nice with good facilities, amenities and surrounded by mountains. Big hike out the following morning toward Fort William on the WHW.

Lovely little place with simple but delicious restaurant options. It’s directly on the West Highland Trail so hiking is easy right from your front door. There are other trails and if you catch the weather there are some good spots in the river for swimming. As if that wasn’t enough this town is nestled into the highlands and surrounded by stunning views while you’re here and while you’re driving to it. It’s worth visiting more than once!
Nice little place for a quick overnight stay as the West Highland Way walk comes to a close. Overall there is a bit of a hostel feel to the place as most facilities are shared (showers, toilets) and the pod itself is very small. Yet it does the job just fine. The vibe is top notch as everyone is so buzzed to reach Kinlochleven and only have one more day left on the trail. Oh and the lady working there is brilliant--its really nice to be greeted with an enthusiastic and friendly smile after a 20 mile day on the trail.
Perfect location on the west highland way and right on the river too so the atmosphere in the camp ground was just lovely. Far enough away from the hotel that we could get to bed early and not hear a thing from the bar/restaurant too. A fair number of people around but still no queues for facilities like the shower or kitchen area. Staff were really friendly and helpful, even let us have our table in the restaurant early which was very much appreciated.
The room was clean and bright with a lovely view. It also smelt clean. It had extras we hadn't even thought about. We arrived late but they were friendly and advised of a couple of places we could go and have something to eat. We had been staying in different hotels before Allt Na Leven, but the breakfast there was by far the best. The couple who run the guest house were very friendly. I would stay there again and would definately recommend it.
Great location - Kinlochleven is the epitome of "surrounded by hills", almost like being at a Norwegian fjord-head. Liked all the local touches in the cosy and well-equipped Leven apartment - historic pictures of the village etc. (and all the highland and island OS maps wallpapering the porch and bathroom!). Tara the host was excellent and very friendly and helpful in all her communications.
Feeling so pleased with my stay in the property. Very clean, beautiful design and feels so cosy. Staff very polite, breakfast was delicious with various choices of food. All what I needed was provided. Attached bathroom was clean and nice, also I could see the mountains through the window. Excellent location, most beautiful places are nearby and the view is amazing around. Highly recommended
The location was great. Kinlochleven is a quaint mountain town and we are glad we chose to stay there. The property was well decorated, had a well stocked kitchen, great hot tub, wonderful view, and everyone in our family loved it! lots of room to spread out. I would recommend it to any family looking for a peaceful getaway in Scotland. Wish we would have stayed longer!
This is the best place to stay in Kinlochleven if you want good food, location, facilities and a genuinely friendly host. Jenni was immediately responsive to all our needs, with great communication well before arrival to ensure a smooth arrival and comfortable stay. Take the evening meal option if offered, Jenni’s highland portions are delicious and highly recommended.
Very well equipped kitchen and dining room. Decent shower in the room and bunk beds were comfy. Nice location to explore Kinlochleven - the walk up to the Grey Mare's Tail is well worth doing. There wasn't a lockable shed, but the staff kindly let me store my bike indoors. I'm sure it would have been safe outside anyway.
Great location near Grey Mares waterfall; spacious for our family of four; nice little den area that was well stocked with movies, books, games and breakfast items. Not far from activities in Glencoe. Great communication from the host as well! Would definitely stay longer than one night the next time we visit the area!
The location of this hotel was good, close enough (by car) to where we were going (Glencoe). The room itself was pleasant enough for our 1 night stay. We arrived late in the evening, and the receptionist was the barman, who was busy, but also accommodating and friendly.
The apartment was clean with a lovely renovated kitchen and bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the views to the mountains were lovely. Kinlochleven is a sweet little village with a beautiful walk to a waterfall. It was a good stop driving from Isle of Skye to Perth.
loved everything, The brilliant staff, superb room that was imaculate with an amazing view. The food was excellent, and very reasonably priced, with great service. The best hotel I have stayed in, would definately recommend.I look forward to staying again.
Great inn in Kinlochleven just off the West Hoghland Trail. Exceptional host with all kinds of local info. Well appointed room with great view of river and surrounding mountains. Good vegetarian options for breakfast. Lovely stay was a trip highlight
Ideal for a family of 4. Basic but with all the necessities. Handy facilities for self catering. Beautiful setting if the weather is nice with picnic tables to sit at. Nice pub by hotel and short walk into the village.
Stayed for a night whilst journeying home from Skye.
Fantastic location, clean and tidy with helpful and friendly staff.
Kinlochleven was beautiful, great fish and chips.
Would stay again.
Surprisingly good location and good quality of the facilities considering the not so attractive town of Kinlochleven. Good beds and clean room. Good breakfast.
Really enjoyed our stay, awesome location with great views. Clean, fresh and warm.
Loved the little walk along to the The Tailrace Inn, great little pub
