We first stayed here back in 2007 and loved it and this year have done a 4 month tour of the UK and had the pleasure of taking our adult daughter and her friend to stay once more at one of our favourite places and yes she loved it too. I placed a review and to my horror realised that... More

Although I do agree with previous comments that the old fashioned style can be appealing, sadly in this case the decor was more shabby and unkept. Our room was tiny (we were in room 2), the windows were filthy and, although advised to 'be patient' with the shower, there was no hot water. There was no attention to detail whatsoever.... More

Is this my favourite hotel in the UK, it might just be. Gino is the most genial of hosts and so are his sons. We borrowed his outboard to potter around the beautiful bay that provides a gazing-stock from all the huge windows in the hotel whether it be the spacious living rooms, dining room or bedrooms. We also borrowed... More

If you want an authentic Highland experience, then look no further than Shieldaig Lodge. Superbly located down a single track road, just outside Gairloch, this Hotel is a welcome, and very comfortable, retreat from the outside world. My wife and I had stayed for 10 nights before, spread across two previous trips, but just had to return with my in-laws... More

Reset your priorities and relax…you will be staying in one of the most beautiful and remote parts of Scotland. You will have stunning views across a sea loch. You will be surrounded by breath-taking scenery and you will be staying in an unforgettable and historic building. Our room was a good size and comfortable with a large modern bathroom. The... More

Shieldaig Lodge is a former hunting lodge probably built in the late 1800s which has been converted to a hotel. The setting is beautiful, the rooms are large and airy, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms modern and spotless. Both our dinner and our breakfast were excellent. Both the building and the grounds are showing their age however. The upholstery... More

Having just returned from an idyllic week away I am looking at the last two reviews feeling like I live on a different planet. Shieldaig lodge doesn't pretent to be a five star hotel, But it is one of the last highland lodges that hasn't been turned into a boutique hotel with tartan carpets and a price tag designed to...

Having travelled round most of Scotland over the years, found this hotel about 14 years ago and have been back twice a year ever since for holidays for up to 10 days at a time. The homely surroundings, excellent food and comfortable rooms, especially those which overlook the sheltered sea going loch, make for a relaxing place to be. Two... More
