The Kirkmichael Hotel

The hotel's comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and pleasant soaking experience were praised by guests. They also appreciated the exceptional hospitality and friendly service from the staff.

The hostess and her staff were all very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The hotel is in need of updating, and so that is why I’ve given it 4 stars, but the new owner is gradually updating the hotel and doing a great job. I had everything I needed in my ensuite room. I had two stays there - one night on the way to our destination and one more night, on the way back. On each visit, my room was spotless and I had a good sleep. The first evening, our host cooked us a delicious meal. And on both visits the breakfast was absolutely delicious. One of the best I’ve had, and the owner went the extra mile to provide for me what I liked.

Did not stay - nothing like photos Arrived for check in at 7.30 Entered through the front door into a dark dingy foyer. Greeted by one of the staff that emerged from the shadows. Told that there was no food available as they had just shut everything off and the nearest area for food was half an hour drive away. Were shown to our room up an unlit staircase and only the fire exit green lighting to guide the way, like something from a horror movie. Entered the room which looked nothing like the photos. Carpet was stained, there was a shelf hanging off the wall above TV and there was some very off putting unexplainable marks on the headboard. (See photos) After a silent half hour drive to the nearest restaurant with my wife and 3y old we started to look for somewhere else to stay. Eventually found somewhere that was 2.5hrs drive - after already driving from the highlands for about 8hrs this was not ideal. Travelled back to the hotel to hand in key and explain we wouldn’t be staying but no staff around so left key on the front desk and left. Review score is 8/10 and star rating is 3.5 The hotel is a 2 star at best and I would rate the hotel a 2/10 Would not recommend for families.
