Beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms and scenery. Unfortunately, the menu is very limited (normal for covid-19 times) but having the only starter as Guinea fowl wasn't great. Most of the food was fine but pretty bland. Scollops were huge but I would avoid the lobster, it's not prepared well.
Although the staff were very friendly and helpful, there was very little social distancing between themselves or the customers.
It's important to note that most of these complaints could be as a result of covid-19 and may not represent how the hotel operates under normal circumstances.

Just a really nice place to stay, the situation with views overlooking the Summer Isles, is superb. The hotel is small but in lovely grounds and close to the shore, rooms seemed to vary in quality, ours was certainly comfortable. The food, wine and service was excellent, the people were quite obviously committed and did go the extra mile, even in that our bikes were moved to safe storage without the need to ask. We would love a return visit.

An oasis in a wonderful location away from it all. Excellent attention to detail to meet individual requirements. Well worth it - location, rooms, food and a relaxed atmosphere with glorious views.

A fairly average hotel pretending to be worth 5 stars by running pretentious and expensive meals. Why is a hotel converted from a mid size house serving amuse bouches? The staff don't always seem to fully have it together, and it's left in a confusing not quite fancy but too expensive for a cheap and fun hiking holiday.

What a gem! Stunning empty beach not far away for the kids. We stayed in the Boat House. The bar was buzzing of an evening. Lovely place, idyllic setting. Food was outstanding. Staff could not have been more helpful. Wish we had stayed longer. Favorite stay on our tour round the highlands.

A cosy outpost of civilisation - hotel, bar, restaurant - all looking at the Summer Isles from the strip of a hamlet, Achiltibuie. At once remote and wild yet civilised and cosseting. A far-flung destination that I hope will survive the currently-in-progress change of ownership.

At the end of a dreadfully narrow road and in a grandiose landscape, this little hotel is there, alone by the ocean, all pretty.
Welcomed by a charming lady, we discovered our room there, which was more comfortable.
For dinner, local oysters and a seafood platter: langoustines and crabs from the village fisherman, hand-smoked trout and salmon by the same man. A real treat. A sauvignon blanc (without chauvinism) accompanied it all for the pleasure of our taste buds devoted to these crustaceans.
This is a place not to be missed.
It would be very damaging.

Room was clean, the views from the hotel where amazing, some of the staff where very helpful, its just a few little things that let this hotel down.it was a disability room we where in
No shower chair for my husband in shower when I asked for one I got it but had to clean it myself.
No view from room just the car park and no t.v in room but wouldn't have mind this if the broadband had worked better, had been in the room just after four in the afternoon and with been dark outside no pub
open was a very long night.
Breakfast was good, but found several hairs in fruit salad.
Would stay here again but not at the cost they are charging in the room we had

Dinner was amazing. Travelling with parents, siblings and spouses I was concerned when we saw the menu that it would be overpriced and too fancy for us. The flavors were amazing, the dinner was the best food we had in Scotland. The hotel rooms were a little better than other places we stayed in northern Scotland. Great place in a beautiful setting with great food!

Wonderful experience. Staff were attentive and delightful, room perfect right down to the roll-top bath, superb cuisine including delicious options to meet special dietary requirements and such a beautiful peaceful setting. Idyllic

Superb spacious rooms with superb bathroom - downstairs. Our rooms were not suiable for elderly such as ourselves because bedroom was accessed by a very narrow spiral staircase. No way to get luggage upstairs and risky getting to the toilet during the night! Food superb but expensive, and located 50 yards away from rooms over pebbled car park. OK if it is not raining.

Hotel located by the sea with spectacular views of the Summer Isles. Our room was not part of the main building and therefore perhaps even more comfortable. We had the opportunity to have dinner at the restaurant, very nice and elegant that offers a good choice of dishes always with a splendid sea view. Convenient parking, super friendly staff. Room soundproofing poor.
