My family, my wife and myself have been staying at the Muckrach Lodge Hotel since 1971. We have always found the hotel to be comfortable, its owners and staff very welcoming and its menu fully reflective of that found in many Scottish Country House Hotels, relying on fresh local ingredients according to season and regular changes in the menu that...

Although we have lived in the area for over 7 years - and have had a drink in the Muckrach - we had never had a meal there - until tonight. We had a booking for 8pm - but due to other guests who had "delayed" their appearance - everything from then on was held up - so we were... More

As part of a group of 4 travelling South from Inverness to sample Muckrach Lodge for the first time last night, I was very much looking forward to it. I had looked at the menu on the website and it sounded delicious. The lodge itself looked inviting and I was hoping for an evening of luxury but instead had an... More

The food was lukewarm (all three courses), staff had a fake smile on all day, the building itself is falling to bits inside, our room (No.4) was the most disgusting room I have ever stayed in. It was extremely tiny with the smallest double bed you can get, the built in "wardrobe" (a hole in the wall) was big enough... More

Finally, after about six attempts, this reviewer is able to post something free enough of abuse and mindless vitriol for Tripadvisor to leave up. Such self control is to be lauded, although the persistence does border on obsession. This man stayed with his 'girlfriend' who made the booking. They chose to use a discount voucher from Groupon; these are valid... More

We stayed at Muckrach Lodge for three nights at the start of April. It is a beautiful, characterful and quite special place to stay. Set in its own grounds on a slight hill, the front of the house over looks a field with two highland cows, the other side of the house looks over a castle and a field with... More

I saw the review below and i felt compelled to leap to the hotels defence. I do not remenber any guest being unhappy when i stayed. My room was lovely and although at first a little cold a simple ring on the bell at reception granted us additional heating for our stay. The food was spectacular! I had the sea... More

We stayed here in March for a couple of nights. The bedroom was pretty cold but then so was the weather and when asked the owner supplied us with an extra heater which helped a lot. The room and public areas were a bit dirty, dusty and tired. I would expect a higher standard of cleaniness and comfort for the... More

Had we known this guest's Tripadvisor handle is NegativeHenry we would never have taken the booking! But how can you tell the glass half empty pessimists, for whom any divergence from their set expectations is a cause for complaint, from the optimists, who revell in new experiences and the challenges they sometimes create? I know we polarise opinion at Muckrach.... More

Had a lovely weekend break here in early February. After a great drive up through the gorgeous Highland scenery we were met with a warm welcome and a great view.

We are delighted you had a good time. We're sorry you didn't like the main courses, and can only surmise that a relief chef was on for that service. Neither I or my partner would ever serve something that looked, or tasted, like school dinners (we share the cooking). The phrase 'relief chef' is of course oxymoronic, because very few... More

We have a no smoking policy in place for the entire hotel. Notices in rooms clearly state that the bedrooms are no smoking areas. Opening the windows and sticking your head outside with a fag in your mouth (so causing the room to be cold) still counts as smoking in the room, for which there is a £250 fine. No... More
