Fabulous stay
Had a lovely stay. Rooms are comfortable, shower good. Hotel slightly dated and could do with refurbishment in the bathrooms but staff and food are absolutely second to none, best breakfast we have ever had. Lovely walks close by, beautiful gardens to sit in, small shop nearby, great bar. Would definitely go back for the breakfast and lovely staff alone, will book a king size bed next time though.

Best place on our highlands tour
This was the best place we stayed at on our tour of the Scottish Highlands. It’s family-run, comfortable and clean. And the food was amazing! It is out of the way from the most common attractions, but it is worth the trip, because it is a wonderful little place located in a quiet part of the highlands.

Great place.
We booked last minute and super late, we call the place and the lady was super nice leaving the keys on a safe spot for us to pick when we arrived past midnight, we are super grateful with her, then we woke up and they made us an amazing breakfast, super friendly people. We ended it ip here by mistake but we are Happy about this mistake, loved the place and will definitely go back.

I a lovely hotel in the emote banks of Lcoh Shiel. Lovel food and the best night's sleep I've had for ages - it's so quiet. The hotel is very dog friendly with lots of local walks. Good food in the restaurant.

Out in the middle of nowhere within easy walking distance of Loch Shiel. Only dining option is the hotel itself, but the cuisine was tasty. They packed a breakfast for me when I had to leave very early in the morning by bus. Check-in was rather late, so had to wait around for awhile to get my belongings in out of the rain!

Highly recommended. Very comfortable and the staff are welcoming and excellent. The food is fresh, very good and local. Get outdoors when you are here because the portions are big, you'll need an appetite. Warm comfortable rooms. Piping hot water in a powerful shower. Dog friendly! and that doesn't mean 'wet dog smell' either. Great place in a beautiful part of the world.

Dog friendly.
First stay in a dog friendly hotel and everything went well. I would say it would have been good to have been told up front there was a £10 surcharge for the dog but it wasn't a big problem, happy to pay that. Nice dinner the night we arrived and the room and bed was clean and comfortable. Lovely area and I'd go back again.

No shower
Nice setting and comfortable room but couldn't take shower - only got very got water. Rules about table service at bar were confused and there seemed to be little adherence to wearing masks when not seated.

Potentially much better.
Two main observations. Firstly, the hotel is very tired snd needs a good spruce up. The entrance is very uninviting, drab decor and lacking a welcome. Weeds at the door step would be easily removed. This theme is repeated throughout, and although the room was acceptable, again there are many little things which could be easily rectified - hook on back of shower room door, waterproof seal at the front of the shower, door that doesnt close properly. A handyman / gardener for 2 or 3 dats a week would make a big difference. On the other hand, the food was excellent, especially the seafood - langoustines, scallops to due for, and very tasty kippers for breakfast. Covid has obviously made things difficult, but this hotel, in the centre of magnificent and interesting landscapes has the potential to be something far more special.
