Guest Reviews
- Srikant (10/5): - Excellent welcome and customer service. A bit dated property but made up by friendly welcoming staff.
- Ashley (10/5): - Outstanding place to stay, wonderful authenticity, fantastic people, beautiful place. Genuinely everything you could wish for and more
- Nicholas (10/5): - Very clean, great interactions with staff, breakfast was really good with many options. Our only problem was a very slow bathroom drain
- Steven (6/5): - For what we thought was an exorbitant cost the room was tiny and quite dated. The shower was a nightmare to get going and then took a great deal of effort to shut down when finished. No fridge. No Microwave. Scrambled eggs in the morning looked like porridge and in truth not much different in taste.
- JAMES (6/5): - This hotel is adequate and clean but very basic. The beds were a bit worn and the breakfast was not appetizing. Staff were friendly and helpful.
- G (6/5): - Very friendly day staff who want you to have a great stay with them. The property itself is a little tired but the room we have was large, clean and had a great view.
- Andrew (10/5): - Couldn't be faulted in any aspect. Excellent accommodation, super staff, excellent breakfast
- Claudine (6/5): - It certainly did not seem to be worth over $200 a night. The amenities were sparse and the breakfast was so so. Not anything to brag about.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Garden setting - Great garden setting in a peaceful neighborhood. Very friendly staff. Clean rooms.
- Michele (10/5): - Had a lovely stay at Gairloch Highland Lodge. Received a warm welcome from Michael who allowed us to check in early. View from our room was gorgeous. Overlooked Gairloch Harbour. Will definitely stay there again if we return to Gairloch.
- Susan (10/5): Excellent - Very nice atmosphere. Excellent breakfast choices. Very considerate of dietary needs, with a comprehensive choice of food. Nice room.
- cheuk yin (10/5): Great - We have a late check in, the hotel send us a clear instructions about how to have a self check in. The breakfast is good. Staff is nice. Great to stay there.
- Mark (6/5): - Property a little dated Not having a restaurant option on site was a negative. Breakfast was average Hotel very clean staff helpful
- Tianran (10/5): - A quaint and clean little hotel. Lovely place and lovely staff. We really enjoyed our stay.
- Engelbert (6/5): - It met the expectation that price against room comfort / hotel interior is totally out of balance.
- Gregory (10/5): - It was in a lovely location with walks available a short distance away, Staff were friendly and informativie.
- Mrs J (8/5): - Nice hotel with good service
- robin (10/5): - Great staff
- Geoffrey (6/5): Could be a lot better - Where do I start? Toilet seat loose, extractor fan didn't work, grout missing from floor tiles, badly fitted ensuite door, with an inch gap. Buffet style breakfast, no baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes. Just bacon, sausage, hard poached egg and DIY toast. A good clean, lick of paint, some maintenance, and a better breakfast and this could be a nice place to stay.
- MONICA (6/5): Nice location. - Booking transferred to The Old Inn at short notice. Room comfortable . First hotel of 8 to experience "Pay as you go", with drinks, food and accommodation. No ability to add costs to room , to pay on departure. Strange practice.
- David (10/5): - Due to renovation work we were moved to The Old Inn just down the road, excellent hotel, room was really nice and the food was awesome. The beef burger was the best I’d ever tasted. The staff were lovely and helpful, travelling partner said the cooked breakfast was really good . Would stay again
- Keith (10/5): - Due to overrunning maintenance work at the Highland lodge we were reroomed in the sister hotel called the Old Inn. It was really great! So friendly, warm and we were so well looked after by Shushona and Andy. Throughly recommend the place which is so well situated
- Yvonne M (10/5): - Comfortable stay with no frills. Exactly what was described when booking
- giulio (4/5): - The location is old and not so well mantained; breakfast isn't so fresh and tasty. Too expensive for what it is.
- Jonathan (10/5): Fantastic place! - Excellent one-night stay. Room off the lounge area was spacious, comfy and quiet. Was staying with my dog and loved all the extras provided such as dog bed, bowl, etc. Quality breakfast with plenty of choice. Would definitely return.
- Ann (8/5): - Quiet.
- ellis (10/5): - Excellent all round, freindly chatty staff, good food lovley scenery and overall great service in all aspects i would recommend staying here
- Neil (8/5): Tired but would stay again - Place very tired , really could do with updating . Bed comfy enough , pillows not great and bedding old and mismatched . Shower room ok , but needs upgrade , as does the TV. Service on reception and breakfast really good . Lounge lovely and breakfast area lovely …. Location good … I’d stay again , no problem as VFM was good .
- Theresa (8/5): - Great place to stay very central, nice lounge and bar area.
- Gordon (10/5): NC 500 Road Trip - We did'nt actually stay at Lodge we were supposed too but it was closed for refurbishment so we were put up in it's sisiter hotel the Old Inn.the accomodation was excellent & clean, evven supplied a Tassimo coffee machine V impressed.Staff were excellent speacial mention to Hannah who went above & beyond to accomodate us in a ground floor room. Would happlily reccomend this venue to anyone
- Steve (4/5): - Property in desperate need of investment
- Lynette (8/5): Overall good - Friendly staff, room was fine, breakfast was ok, it seemed like it had been kept warm rather than cooked fresh when we got to breakfast but it was ok. Otherwise the hotel had a nice atmosphere and honesty ‘record what you’ve drunk’ bar and pay when checking out, with a lounge area, which was a good option if you didn’t want to go out.
- Andrew (2/5): - VERY VERY basic for price, would not recommend and would not use again. No food served at night and poor quality ingredients for breakfast
- Geoffrey (8/5): - Position in the woods
- Sheila (6/5): - View was lovely as was the breakfast and service at breakfast. Unfortunately our welcome to the hotel was less than warm - it felt officious and as if we were being processed. When we asked whether they had a lift for our heavy bags (one of us was pregnant and another guest aged 70) it was a flat 'No'. No suggested alternative or help to carry. Luckily a friendly guest gave us a hand up the stairs! When we asked about possible places to eat in the evening they simply told us we should have responded to an email they sent us to book a table in their sister hotel. No other recommendations, just simply indicating we'd find it hard to find anywhere. Later that evening as we were passing reception on the way to hunt down some dinner, they pointed out we hadn't yet submitted our breakfast form to them (no time for pleasantries). It was a shame as the rest of the experience was broadly positive with a good honesty policy at the bar and friendly fellow guests.
- Louise (8/5): - It's dated but perfectly acceptable, clean and we had a nice breakfast. Good shower and very comfortable, big bed. It's off the main road so there was no traffic noise. The only issue for us was the other guests slamming their doors.
- Stuart (10/5): - The hotel covered all my requirements well and with regards my pets needs they were cover as well.
- Geoff (6/5): Recent stay - We were allocated an outside room. The path was not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.The outside was very neglected with weeds growing every where. The furnishings in the room were old and tired.The bed was comfortable although it was two singles pushed together and two single quilts. Towels were small and very washed out and thin. No biscuits on the tea making tray. Staff seemed very rushed and seemed a bit abrupt. The breakfast has to be ordered the night before which is ok but unusual given the size of the place. Food was average and portions very small. We had finished out cooked part by the time the toast finally arrived. Tea and coffee is self service. Orange juice and cereal and milk is on your table waiting for you giving the feeling its rationed. There was rubish lying about outside. Overall it was poor for the price.
- Raymond (10/5): Highland Holiday - We had a lovely time the accommodations was excellent the hosts were welcoming and the scenery was just amazing
- Mark (8/5): great stay - lovely hotel, had a power cut on first night due to adverse weather conditions, but these things happen, lovely breakfast and clean hotel nice spaces.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Would not recommend, go somewhere else - Hotel was old and filled with bugs due to windows being left open everywhere. Room was very small and uncomfortable with doors not shutting properly. My girlfriend and I brought a takeaway to the dining area and asked for cutlery to be told they have a "no takeout" policy and when I asked where I could eat they told me outside and at the time it was pouring with rain. The women was very rude about it and the policy is absolutely absurd to have. Why have a dining area and not be aloud to eat food there? Breakfast was alright although they got our order wrong despite having a sheet of paper we filled out telling them what we wanted. Overall a very poor stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Relaxing stay in a quiet hotel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff very friendly and helpful. They seem to be a hardworking bunch of people as there didn't seem to many of them. Really, you get what you pay for here as our room was inexpensive for a family of 5. Accommodation a bit tired and could have been cleaner, carpets in our room hadn't been hoovered properly. The family room we had was a generous size but the furniture was old and could do with replacement. The bunk beds were bit creaky and we were concerned about their stability. Breakfast cooked to order and efficient but the quality of the food was poor, linked to the price of the accommodation. We only stayed 2 nights but it is located on a stunning part of the coastline and Lochgair itself is an excellent place to stay to tour this area.
- KEITH (6/5): Average - Compared to our other stays around the North Coast 500 route this hotel is very average for the price. Primarily due to C19 restrictions, service is minimal and the hotel is very tired although comfortable. Unable to book dinner at the sister establishmnet (we were warned in advance) we had to seek an alternative around the Loch. To be honest, if breakfast was a reflection on what dinner would have been then they did us a favour!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Location on NC500 route / WiFi ok - No phone signal / bathroom basin wouldn’t drain, staff didn’t ask if things were ok at all.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointing - Our bed was uncomfortable. The reception perfunctory. The food adequate, but no supper provided.
- Amanda (8/5): - Hotel staff could not do enough to help. Also loved the honesty bar. Decor is circa 1985 but in a good enough condition. Very pleasant stay
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Treated like a number, didn’t feel welcome. Experience was cold and regimented
- Alan (6/5): Only stayed 1 night - The staff were extra helpful and very pleasing to deal with. The breakfast was very good. The Hotel is in need of some TLC, but is coping very well with Covid restrictions imposed on all hotels. Evening meals are limited in the area so eat before you arrive, bring food with you or take a chance on the very few eateries in the area. If you can book a restaurant in advance then that is advisable. However, I went to the local fish & chip shop and after queueing for 45 minutes, it was well worth the wait for some of the nicest F&C's I have had in a long time.
- Graham (6/5): Tour of the Highlands - The room was not really satisfactory considering the cost. The owners need to put in some investment to justify their charges. The double bed was small and uncomfortable. The decor was very tired and seventies vintage. The shower was poor and luke warm. The doors had no damping and every time a resident exited their room, the door slammed very loudly.
- Ruxandra (10/5): - Very friendly helpful staff , very knowledgeable about the area and they also own the Inn next door which has an amazing chef and where we had some great meals . Definitely recommend it! Great location too.
- Douglas (8/5): Overnight stay - The staff were all very friendly and following current hygiene procedures. The breakfast was served to order, although you had to help yourself to tea/coffee and toast.
- Daniel (8/5): Ok but nothing great. - Expected more for the price. Hotel room was very dated. Small bed. 3 channels on the TV. No digital tv analogue only ? Poor show in this day and age. Breakfast was ok but warm rather than hot. Staff were very friendly and hard working.
- Antonio (8/5): Very reliable under Covid - Not East to handle Covid but they have done it really well.
- Mark (4/5): Dated and chaotic - Very dated, service was chaotic. The hotel needs a face lift. Rooms very tired, bathroom shower held up with gaffs tape. The bedding feels poor quality and resembles a teenagers bed room dinner and breakfast was a joke. Meals came out wrong and separately. Took an hour for service.
- SB (8/5): - Had a pleasant overnight stop here. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was spacious and comfortable. Only a short, 5 minute walk to a restaurant and the harbour where boat tours are available.
- Ken (6/5): - One improvement is to have outside lighting as we walked up the outside steps to our room.
- Ronald (8/5): - All was excellent
- Keith (4/5): - Room very comfortable & clean, Breakfast was awful, cold food and not very much choice, tepid water for making tea & coffee, really does need to be addressed and greatly improved. A more enthusiastic welcome on arrival would be good too. On the plus side we had x lovely meal at the Old Inn just a few minutes walk down the road.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely relaxing atmosphere, really enjoyed our stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Had a lovley stay nice clean rooms staff were great. Would recommend this hotel
- Morag (10/5): Welcoming lodge - We stayed 2 nights and can highly recommend this lodge it has a lovely friendly cosy atmosphere and is dog friendly. Our room was clean a spacious with really good heating and thick fluffy towels and a great breakfast with lots of choices. We definitely will return in the future its well worth a visit.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location, room very small and quite dated. staff lovely and friendly and the breakfast was good. No evening meal option available in this hotel just the sister hotel up the road
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Comfortable hotel with good lounge area and decent sized bedroom. No evening meal facilities on site but connected to hotel just along the road. Meal in here was very good. Breakfast in hotel was very good with each room allocated it’s own table and plenty of choices of breakfast options.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - the room we were in was very nice with patio doors to a secluded wooded area.The view from the dining room looks out to the sea over a garden with pond
- John (6/5): Acceptable, but could do better re breakfasts. - Although the style of this hotel is rather old fashioned, our room was spacious, well decorated and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet affair and, even though we were at the geginnng of service, the bacon and potato scones felt and tasted as though they had been cooked hours before. We would possibly use this hotel again, but would likely research alternatives first.
- Archana (8/5): Pleasant stay, Friendly staff - Lovely location. Had a nice time with my parents..........
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Great accommodations for family of 5 - one room, great bathroom/shower. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was great. Great location.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - We arrived late but our room was ready and keys were at the desk. Generally a nice stay although a bit dated. Breakfast was excellent!
- Natalie (10/5): Family of 3 - Great experience in a friendly, clean, comfortable accommodation for a family of 3
- MAA (8/5): Comfortable and convenient. - Comfortable and convenient, service friendly and mostly efficient.
- CATHY (10/5): Thumbs-up! - Lovely room and owners. Didn't see much of the sea view though!
- kelly (10/5): lovely hotel - Lovely hotel great food amazing views especially sunset on the beach which is a 5 min walk away
- Verified traveler (6/5): Just about okay but could be so much better. - The best thing about the hotel was that dogs could stay. The room was large and bathroom very clean. However, the decor was tired and the bed lumpy. Breakfast was poor, particularly in comparison to others we ate on our tour.
