Bracken Hide Hotel

8/10 Good

"The only thing I did not like about this property is that my room had. I black out curtains. Which meant that every day I was woken up by the light at around 4:5-5 am. When the sun came up. One would think that the managers of this property would be sensitive to this since the sun comes up very early around 5 months per year. Otherwise good experience overall. The front desk was very helpful!"

The Millcroft Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"I want to start by saying that the staff at this hotel are excellent. The hotel itself is another story. We were originally assigned room 26, and all I can say is if you are given this room, ask for another. I should point out that I do have mobility issues, and certainly this made the problem worse, however the floors are so uneven in this room that it was almost impossible for me to walk without tripping. There is a huge dip in the floor in front of the sink, and a really awkward step to get out of the shower. There is a small sitting area when you walk in, but then an additional flight of stairs to get to the bedrooms. The 'decor' of this room felt like something out of a horror movie, but that is another story entirely. To the credit of the staff, when I asked to be moved for our second night, they were very accommodating and offered us another room with 'nice flat floors'. That room was 100 times better, and had been renovated, but still nothing special. I only saw these 2 rooms, so can not comment on any others, but I feel, especially room 26 should not be rented out until it has been renovated. Overall, I feel this hotel was very overpriced for what we got. I do feel bad leaving this review because, as I said, the staff are excellent, but we booked based on the positive reviews of other travellers, and I just did not have the same experience. We stayed in several hotels on our holiday, and unfortunately this was the worst one. I can not recommend this hotel."

Shieldaig Lodge Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is pretty dated and in need of upgrades and attention to detail. The flowers throughout are plastic which is a shame. Aside from the location, there is nothing special about the property. Our room for 350 GBP per night was tiny with a double bed filling most of the space. Our two suitcases covered close to the rest of the floor. I would have not liked to stay more than 1 night. The bathroom was basic and there was a good amount of water on the floor after showering since the glass panel was defective. The food was good but definitely too expensive. The best part of our stay was talking to the falconer and watching the birds of prey. Comparing this hotel to some others in the area, the rates are definitely too high. In total, we spent 630 GBP for a tiny, dated room for one night with breakfast, dinner and a few drinks."
