I really can't add anything new to all the lovely comments that have already been written. I just wanted say that we have never experienced such exceptional customer service. Jody and staff were first class from beginning to end and the food was to die for. Look forward to returning in hopefully the not to distant future. More

This hotel is in a wonderful natural location,with stunning views and superb food.I understand that the night we had dinner was the first night for the new head chef.It is difficult to believe that the previous Michelin starred chef could have produced a better dinner.The strongest memory for us,however,will be the friendliness,professionalism and relaxed manner of all the staff.This obviously...

Booked very late on the day of arrival having read a number of the reviews on here... After leaving Ullapool and driving for about 30 minutes through the odd (almost lunar!) landscape of the peninsula - passing close by the awe inspiring Stach Poliedh and Suilvan. ...what a pleasant surprise this hotel was. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming... More

The food in this hotel is beyond compare. I stayed there last year, having not visited for 33 years, and everything was very much as I remembered. The dining experience is just wonderful, langoustines the sweetest you will ever eat, accompanied by delicious wines. The staff were attentive and friendly in just the right balance, and I arrived on a... More
