Authentic and atmospheric

Wonderfully isolated and atmospheric. It was perfectly situated for me to stay 3 nights and drive around exploring Sutherland. Nice staff and guests. More of a rustic lodge feel than dressy hotel. Restrained and authentic

Remote Highland Hotel worth visiting

Splendid highland situation in a remote scenic area with good parking. Well appointed furniture and fittings and country views, although I could not see the lake from inside the hotel. Room warm on arrival but tv being upgraded so not available. Very good internet signal, Only a couple of guests as out of season so had personal service

Great stay at this lovely hotel. All the staff very helpful and eager to please. However on departure there was no record of our payment through Expedia.. we showed proof of payment to the hotel which they agreed to accept, and fight Expedia for reimbursement

Room was damp, slugs on the floor in the morning, bed was comfy and clean but not great to walk in to someone else’s dirty cups by the bed and used shower gel caps in the shower

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was small but reasonable. Had a country, homey feel. Food was quite good. Relaxed atmosphere. Hostess was lively, positive and helpful. We weren't there to fish, so perhaps missed out on its main attraction. Staff shortages impacted was services could be offered. For what it was, seemed quite expensive. Internet was a bit patchy.
