Every room at The Onich Hotel come with an en-suite bathroom, a flatscreen TV, Wi-Fi, and tea and coffee-making facilities. Meanwhile, all deals also include a traditional full Scottish breakfast and a late 12pm checkout.
For those eating at the hotel's Lochside Bar and Restaurant, there are a diverse range of dishes to enjoy while taking in the views out across Loch Linnhe. Some of the highlights of the restaurant's dinner menu are herb crust salmon fillet, king prawn curry, fish and chips, and vegetable lasagne.
