    Perfect location. Excellent breakfast. Very small and uncomfortable bedroom. Charming public rooms. Excellent staff. Food pricey but very good. Bedroom way overcharged. Been going for years and have always enjoyed it but new owners have lost focus on value for money.

    A little luxury in a glorious location.

    It's an old building with lots of character, which we liked, but that goes along with some inconvenient features such as creaky floors, and lack of headroom on the staircase.

    The view over the loch from the front of the building was beautiful. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent, with lots of choice on the menus including plenty of local fish and other produce. Our rooms were warm and comfortable.

    A really lovely lochside inn near to the North Coast 500 route with very friendly staff. Well appointed room (no TV in room though,possibly due to lack of signal). Meals taken in attached restaurant with emphasis on locally caught fish so can be affected by inclement weather). Really tasty breakfast including excellent haggis from a nearby supplier (the best we have tasted). Lady in breakfast room provided important advice on traversing the Applecross peninsular-North Coast 500.

    Independent small hotel in great location. Felt very welcome and enjoyed the decor and comfort. All the people hosting there were friendly and characterful (a nice change from big-hotel-chain employees, who can be apt to repeat some memorised corporate script). The breakfast was as lovely as the views with a menu as varied as the changing Highland coastal light.

    Couldn't get any food on arrival at 2pm as the kitchen was closed. Given the location there were no other food options as the shop next door didn't have anything such as sandwiches. Felt £150 for the room was a bit steep although it did include breakfast.

    Location, views, wildlife. Dinner in the evening and breakfast were both extremely good. Restaurant prices were very good and seafood options delicious. Honesty bar was a nice touch.

    Pity that there is no real ale in the bar in winter - but understandable!

    Shower pressure was low. There was a gale blowing when I stayed and while the heating was working, the room still felt a bit chilly.

    A really cosy place to stay. The owner really did their best to provide a comfortable stay.

    Unfortunately there was a power cut the first night I was there, so there was limited food available. This wasn't the hotel's fault, but the staff were very helpful and did all they could to make the most of the situation.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of choice. The hotel is situated overlooking a loch which is beautiful. There was no TV in my room, a real plus for a hotel 😊
