amazing location and property. Our room was lovely but we did not have use of the shower for the three days we were there. We kept getting excuses that someone would come to look at it, then the plumber said it was fine ( it wasn't) then we were told that the shower needed to be completely redone and would be after our stay. We were compensated with 2 free lattes. I feel they should have done better than that. it is a small inn and full so they couldn't move us but 2 free lattes is poor compensation for having no working shower. We did have a tub, but not the same, and not what we paid for.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! It’s super beautiful with historical charm and elegance. We sat by the fireplace with a delicious old fashioned after a long day of traveling. The dinner we had was phenomenal!!! I ordered the Cullen skink which is now a new favorite - it was out of this world good! My partner had the monkfish which was also just as delicious. The staff were all super friendly and helpful making for a lovely holiday for us. Our room also had a cute outdoor balcony (1st floor) where we could sit outside with a coffee in the morning and see a nice view of the loch. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely be back!

The Skeabost House Hotel was an absolute dream stay. It used to be an old hunting lodge and the wood trim is intricately carved all throughout the hotel. The service was top notch and they always went above and beyond for us and the other guests. We had the best dinner there and the most delicious breakfasts that I’m still craving everyday since. It is set in a peaceful and serene location and is very easy to find while traveling . We can’t wait to go back !

For the amount we paid for this room, it should have been larger and more accommodating. The room and the bathroom were very very small and for the amount we paid for it, not worth it. I have to say the sheets on the bed were the best ! Really nice! The staff were very pleasant and more than met our needs. This was our 50th wedding anniversary and they kindly brought us a glass of Prosecco.

This property is a former hunting lodge and has some fabulous character and charm with some updates that enhanced the property, including a beautiful restaurant offering locally sourced dishes. We tried the salmon, cullen skink, venison and beef, all of which were top notch. Wendy was our server and she went above and beyond to take care of us. We only stayed two nights and wished we could have stayed longer as the area and this hotel have so much to offer. We stayed in the Gate House which had two bedrooms, a sitting room, patios and a large bathroom, with a tub, shower and heated floors. The building and the decor were impressive and a perfect fit for our family. We enjoyed breakfast each day at the main lodge, which offered a number of breakfast options, all of which we enjoyed. The service and staff were beyond pleasant and helpful. This property is truly top notch. We would definitely book here again and hopefully for a longer period of time.

I was disappointed in my stay since it was very pricy and the hotel was not what I expected for what I paid. The property itself has charm, is near a pretty river and the lounge room was nice. I also enjoyed the breakfast and Sue was a lovely waitress. However, a lot of the hotel seemed old and outdated. There was a strong musty odor in our room and opening the windows invited bugs so it was a challenge dealing with that. I hoped to fish on the river but the advertised fishing was unguided and overpriced. It did not feel like a four star hotel and I would recommend it only if the price was adjusted for what is actually offered.

Almost $800 US per night for a VERY TINY room with view of the water. Poor baggage assistance from the young porter with a beard. We are seniors and had 2 heavy bags, a smaller carry on bag, and a golf bag because we were at the tail end of a 3 week golfing and hiking trip, and we had a lot of gear. He chose to carry the smallest bag. There was also no wheeled baggage cart to assist us. Then when we got to our room, he hastily gave us our 2 room keys, but did not explain how to lock the door to the back sitting area, which required us to tilt the handle up first before locking. We spent some time trying to figure that out, and then the room next to us had the same problem. He was not welcoming and was not the first impression we wanted of this hotel. He was on his cell phone a lot during our stay. However, the older gentleman at the front desk and all of the female staff members were wonderful!!

Lies and deception make for a bad stay

Well let's see... We checked in at 5:45PM. We got to our room, and the only window faced the parking lot so we had no privacy. Next, I stepped into the bathroom and it was Africa hot in there. There was a radiant heat towel rack that was fully on and the knob to control it was lying on the floor broken off the valve. We called the front desk and they said they would get maintenance on it. We have reserved a table in the restaurant because we had heard about this great view overlooking a loch. Instead, we were seated on the opposite side of the restaurant facing the car park. We asked during dinner if maintenance was addressing our room, and we were told that it was being taken care of. After dinner we were sitting and relaxing in the drawing room, and the front desk person came up to us and told us that maintenance had gone home for the day and our bathroom had not been fixed. We were then told if we had reported the problem before 5PM that maintenance would have been able to address it, but we reminded them that we arrived at 5:45 so there was no way from us to do that. We ten asked why we were told maintenance would fix the problem if they had already gone home, and were told "We don't know." They offered to move us to a different room, but by then it was 10:30PM. We had to pack up and move rooms while everyone else is sleeping. The whole experience was very disappointing and the worst stay of our trip.

Nous avons séjourné trois nuits dans cet hôtel et avons été malheureusement déçus du rapport qualité-prix. À plus de 700 francs la nuit, nous nous attendions à un niveau de confort nettement supérieur. La chambre était très petite et la salle de bain mal pensée : aucun support pour le papier toilette, simplement posé sur un meuble… ce qui n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur d’un établissement 4 étoiles. Cela dit, nous tenons à souligner la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel, ainsi que la qualité du petit-déjeuner, varié et complet. Nous avons dîné une fois au restaurant de l’hôtel : repas décevant et service peu agréable ce soir-là. Les environs sont jolis, surtout par beau temps, et offrent un cadre reposant. Mais globalement, l’expérience ne justifie pas le prix demandé.
