    My husband and I spent two nights here back in March, and loved it. The hotel is beautiful. Our…read moreroom was lovely. Because the weather was a bit inclement, we appreciated their bar and lounge area. We are both avid hikers, and the staff very helpfully gave us directions/information about spots to visit. Their chef is fantastic, we had a superb meal in their dining room. They also introduced me to my new favorite breakfast, porridge with a shot of Scotch. Our next stop after the Isle of Skye was Iona, and when it came time to leave the ferry stop was a short drive down the road. The drive, and necessary ferry rides, by the way, were fantastic.

    Came here with a group of 5 friends and a reservation for dinner. This restaurant attracts an older…read moreand classy clientele. The service and head waiter are very polite but the kitchen is very slow. An older group of 8 staying at the hotel actually walked out of their meal before dessert because it took too long. The only other guests besides ourselves, two couples, each waited 30 minutes for their desserts. The waiters and the bar could be better coordinated. Wine is a little pricey for the quality. In terms of food, I had the ham hock terrine, the Aberdeenshire sirloin steak, and the sticky toffee pudding. The terrine is a bit like corned beef mash and not bad. The steak, ordered medium rare, came out a little more done than medium rare and was not a sirloin. The sticky toffee pudding was not bad, a little overly sweet. My friends got the salmon and the scallops. The scallops were absolutely great. The salmon that came as an appetizer was an imaginative dish: hot salmon on top of cold salmon. The salmon that came as an entree was satisfactory and better than the steaks.

    Wow what an experience. Felt like we traveled back in time. A bit of a rough and long driveway to…read moreget there. We were immediately welcomed and our coats hung upon entering. Shown a mini tour of the lodge and brought to "the big room". The dining room with about 8 tables. Neatly decorated with gold framed paintings of the lineage of the hotel. We were gifted some complementary fizz for our anniversary which was so special. Spectacular service, my husband was interested in some whisky and the hostess/whisky expert/amazing woman came to ask what he likes and recommend something. He loved what he got, a local whisky made down the road. We had the special of the day: Pie and Pud. Mine was cheese and leek and his was venison. Delicious! The first dish we've had in Scotland where even the vegetables were seasoned. Perfect pastry and such savory flavors. We were almost too full for the pud! Almost. Toffee pudding and chocolate brownie were intensely sweet and yummy. After dessert, we were welcome to have tea in the parlor, but of course! Great views of the loch while having fresh loose leaf tea, homemade shortbread, and a crackling fireplace. We were frequently checked on to make sure we were doing ok and just felt so welcome and at home. We could have stayed all day.

Engaging staff. Food was the best I've had in a long time. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. The grounds are also lovely! Truly an awesome experience.
