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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
