Gairloch Hostels

Lovely stay from start to finish, all staff were very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful location and views I recommend upgrading for the sea view room it was very spacious with great views. In the evening you can sit in the reception lounge with music or in the main bar which is huge. We mentioned we were heading over to Nairn next and received nothing but great recommendations of where to go there by Ronnie the very friendly bar man. There isn’t much to do in gairloch for the younger generation but the bar at the hotel is open till 11 so it’s great for a stop over on the way up north and amazing drive up there.

Arriving at the Shieldaig Lodge we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who was friendly and looked after us for check in. Our deluxe room no 9 was dated and we felt a little disappointed, the hotel charge a premium for their accommodation and with the added extra of an evening meal the one night stay was in excess of £500, the windows were mouldy and looked like they hadn’t be cleaned for a very long time, the duvet which I asked for it to be feather free was lumpy and had massive areas with no quilting at all, uht milk pods not nice, the room was smaller than expected and the lighting was very poor and some didn’t work, our room was also next door to someone playing their tv very loudly! The bathroom had no room for toiletries and was very small. Dinner was above average but had issues with textures and the pairing of ingredients used in my choice of main course. I choose a vegetarian option which combined a stuffed tomato, stuffed courgette, asparagus and a puree which when combined was very sloppy and just didn’t compliment each other, the whole dish lacked texture, my husband said his venison was okay but not amazing, the Eaton mess dessert was the nicest part of my meal. We finished our evening playing pool in the games room which was enjoyable. We slept okay but the duvet was uncomfortable and not luxurious like you would expect in a four star hotel. Breakfast was once again okay but nothing outstanding, we asked for more butter and hot water to dilute the very strong decaf coffee which took ages to appear, we had to ask 3 times for the butter. The grounds are beautiful but the hotel needs some attention to keep the building maintained and up to a standard that such a stunning building deserves. We left disappointed and don’t feel we had good value for money.

Beautiful hotel & restaurant in a perfect location looking out over the bay. The owner and staff were absolutely excellent, very friendly and hospitable to weary travellers. I had to leave at 5am thanks to the ferry company letting me down and having to re-book a stupidly early ferry on to the Orkney Isles, so I couldn't check out as normal and arranged with the owner to leave the room key at the unmanned reception desk before normal operating hours.
