"Really good quality food, when you ask for the wine menu also ask for ones that aren't on there sometimes have specials that they don't have on the list, it's well worth an ask, What a lovely starters main course and my favourite to finish with “cheese and biscuits” from locally sourced produce I can't fault the meal at all and excellently well prepared the only thing is make sure you take your wallet with you because it's not a cheap place in any way whatsoever and close to overpriced in comparison to quality and prices locally"

"We had a wonderful two-night stay at this hotel. The staff were all fantastic, very helpful and courteous. They were always willing to stop for a chat if they had the time. Our room was spacious with four windows, a comfortable bed, and a lovely en-suite bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities, a flat screen TV, and a hairdryer were all provided. The hotel is conveniently located just off the main street, close to bars and restaurants if you feel like exploring. I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends."

"Very disappointing. Having been to Fonab on a few occasions previously, we had no hesitation in meeting our friends there to celebrate his birthday……. Big mistake. Table was booked for 7pm. We arrived at 7.05 due to the rain and bad roads. As we arrived my friends phone was ringing, this was the hotel asking if we were still coming! In fact we were standing in front of the lady that was on the phone! We were shown to our seats and asked if we wanted to order drinks before we sat down. In fact we were asked 4 times before I asked if they had a cocktail menu which we were then given. The waiter stood there while we looked at it with pen poised! We all felt a bit uncomfortable and rushed. Drinks order arrived and a bottle of tonic was dropped on the table. The waiter cleaned the floor and left to get another bottle. He returned, apologised,left the bottle and disappeared. We then had to ask if someone could wipe the table and the side plate. Wine ordered but did not arrive. We had to ask for it after the main course arrived. Waiter poured us our first glass and after that we had to pour our own. My meal arrived and my Pomme purée was cold. I very privately told the waitress and she took it away. When she brought it back I had only a 3rd of the pomme purée I had the first time, but thought it best to not make a complaint. However I very quickly realised that my sole was raw! Not undercooked or opaque but actually raw and cold in the middle. Again I informed the waitress. She apologised and asked if I would like to order something else. I declined as by now the others were almost finished their meals. We didn’t order desserts and only 1 out of the 4 of us ordered a coffee, an Americano with hot milk on the side. When it arrived it was a black coffee with cold milk on the side! We then asked for the bill as we just wanted to go home. I checked the bill and the fish had not been charged, however the pomme purée and the broccoli sides I’d ordered had been! I asked them to remove them and to also remove the 12.5% service charge. The waitress wasn’t too happy and still no apology. I then asked to speak to a supervisor/manager to be told that there wasn’t a manager on duty (this was a Saturday night! there was an assistant manager and that was the waitress we’d been dealing with! She said she would get a manager to call me tomorrow and took my name, phone number and email address. This was Saturday evening 20th May and it is now Wednesday 24th and still no communication of any sort. I always believe that problems can occur in any business but it is how they are handled and rectified that leaves a lasting impression. As I said, very disappointing. My conclusion is that this is an apparent 5 star establishment, but in the last few months we have stayed/eaten at The Balmoral, Cameron House and Gleneagles and this was NOT 5 star by any stretch of the imagination! In fact the only thing 5 star about Fonab is the beautiful view and the prices!"

"Having enjoyed pre-theatre lunches here over many years, we had no hesitation in booking again this year. A mistake! Road closures due to the cycling event meant that we arrived a few minutes late. I had emailed en route and also telephoned leaving a message that we were slightly delayed. The food was good, the service hugely disappointing. Haggis bon-bons, fish and chips and the smoked salmon bagel were all delicious. The service was far too slow, and hugely disappointing apart from the young person who brought our drinks order and corrected a mistake immediately. Other staff appeared totally uninterested and certainly were not keeping a watchful eye on our table. We had no time for dessert and when ordering coffee I explained that we were anxious to be on time for the performance. A patronising response from the waitress was not appreciated. Slow service yet again. No time to drink my coffee. My husband then had difficulty gaining staff attention to pay the bill. He decided to reduce the included service charge by fifty percent. I would have removed it completely. We won’t return."

"This was the first and last time I will visit this coffee shop. Arrived with 2 friends for coffee and a light lunch. We were seated quickly outside but following that everything went downhill. No one came with a menu and when one of our party went inside to double check it was in fact table service, she was told to sit down and wait. We ordered coffees which were fine, along with scones and a sandwich. We were asked if we wanted clotted cream with the scones and we thought “why not”. The scones arrived and clearly weren’t fresh. They were rock hard and dry and our “clotted” cream was like cream from a spray can. Sandwich arrived no butter and no where near enough filling for the extremely thick bread. I will give top marks for the coleslaw though delicious! After deciding we couldn’t finish our food, we went inside to ask for and pay the bill. Whilst doing so, a young waitress spilled 2 cups of steaming hot coffee all down the front of herself. I immediately turned to ask if she was ok only to basically be shot down in flames by the rude lady at the till telling me not to worry, the girl was fine. She hadn’t even checked! We were extremely disappointed and wished we stuck to our usual place a few doors down where everything is faultless."
