Book early for options

Small country hotel with all the basics a long way from major settlement with little other accommodation available.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The room was comfortable and had everything we need for a comfortable stay. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but it was lovely. It was a very pleasant stay.

Nice hotel in scenic location

In many ways more like B&B rather than hotel. Public bar downstairs. Breakfast very nice and owner friendly and helpful. Set in a small village with very nice surrounding countryside. My only criticism would be that it was quite expensive for a B&B.

I a lovely hotel in the emote banks of Lcoh Shiel. Lovel food and the best night's sleep I've had for ages - it's so quiet. The hotel is very dog friendly with lots of local walks. Good food in the restaurant.

Best place on our highlands tour

This was the best place we stayed at on our tour of the Scottish Highlands. It’s family-run, comfortable and clean. And the food was amazing! It is out of the way from the most common attractions, but it is worth the trip, because it is a wonderful little place located in a quiet part of the highlands.

Great place.

We booked last minute and super late, we call the place and the lady was super nice leaving the keys on a safe spot for us to pick when we arrived past midnight, we are super grateful with her, then we woke up and they made us an amazing breakfast, super friendly people. We ended it ip here by mistake but we are Happy about this mistake, loved the place and will definitely go back.

A Nice place to stay.

An old world style hotel. Do not expect Chain Hotel features but the location is superb, the staff fantstic and the food is good if limited but as much as possible is sourced locally. Well off the beaten track so at night it is quiet, so quiet. If I were in the area again, I'd certainly return. What you see is what you get and that is pretty good I think
Stephen, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dissapointing stay - fails to meet expectations

Based on my stay at Hotel Loch Sheil on Here's a breakdown of the issues encountered: * Limited Service: Upon arrival, despite a nearly empty restaurant, we were informed of a wait until 6:30 pm for dinner. * Room Issues: Our assigned room (number 5) had inadequate curtains, allowing significant light intrusion. Additionally, some curtain hangers were missing. * Restaurant Issues: * Incorrect Beverage Service: Requested light IPAs, but received dark beers instead. * Unacceptable Food Quality: The salmon dish with vegetables and mashed potatoes was inedible. Vegetables were unappetizing, and mashed potatoes were cold. Photos can be provided upon request. * Hygiene Concerns: A staff member with a cold served other tables, raising hygiene concerns. * Breakfast Issues: * Table Relocation: Despite taking a table, we were requested to move due to an arriving guest with a dog, which conflicted with our understanding of the pet policy. * Unsanitary Practices: Butter was not readily available and required a request. When requesting additional bread, the young server used his bare hands to handle the bread rolls. * Poor Bed Quality: The provided bed lacked comfort and quality. * Abrupt Departure: Due to the accumulated issues, we opted to leave a day early despite booking a two-night stay. We would strongly adviceagainst recommending this hotel to others.

Suite à un imprévu sur la route (route fermée pendant plus d’une heure), nous avons prévenu l’hôtel de notre arrivée tardive. Le personnel a été très compréhensif et nous a réservé un accueil très chaleureux. Chambre très propre et petit déjeuner copieux.
