    The room was small and the "mountain view" actually consisted of a view of a building where staff lived and hung out.

    A charming building in a spectacularly beautiful location. The attached restaurant served the most excellent fresh seafood we have had in Scotland.

    It is lovely as it is just by the loch. Our room was fscing the loch and such an amazing view. You can just sit by the window and do nothing. The restaurant at the hotel is great too.

    the waiter in the evening who seemed to make a lot of noise jumping and running about during service. Breakfast service lacked a bit of customer attention, no orange juice, no mil out. The server was very nice indeed it just seemed a bit disjointed. No Loch Torridon Langoustines as sold out by 730pm service! as it's in your door step, would have expected availability here.

    Location, dinner at night

    Only slight issue was that I arrived quite late and there was no-one around to help with checking in but easily solved by popping next door to the restaurant.

    Lovely location. Plenty of parking on the street close to the hotel. Room was comfortable, nicely decorated and had everything I needed. Ate in the restaurant and food was delicious. Staff were all very welcoming.

    Room would benefit from a new en suite and decorating

    Downstairs the hotel has lots of room and looks grand but the bedroom room was a bit tired with cracked sink and shower tray, older decoration . We ate in the attached restaurant and the food was good . Not the best value for money, but Scotland is expensive for a touring trip and this is a scenic location away from the main tourist spots so we were lucky to get there . Outlook from the front of the hotel is superb.

    Menu was a bit limited. No television in our room. The bar/restaurant is outside the hotel so it involved a dash out side in the pouring rain!

    Cracking location and a friendly 'pub' feel to the bar and restaurant. Staff were pleasant enough.

    Nothing to dislike.

    The location is beautiful, just loved Sheildaig! This was my favourite location over the seven locations I stayed whilst doing the NC500, Scourie being a close second! The room was a little tired, but very clean and nicely kitted out, good sized single room and a bath in the ensuite, which I loved! Very dog friendly, the only place dogs not allowed was the restaurant, though they do have a bar were you can take dogs and eat. This was one place that I was so sad that I couldn't get out to eat in the evening, being a solo traveller with two dogs made getting out in the evenings really difficult as one (after a prior bad experience with another dog, is not too good around other dogs). Exceptional reviews from other guests who had eaten there in the evening. Breakfast was exceptional, great choice , and I had the most perfectly poached eggs with my smoked salmon for breakfast . The waitress was just a delight, friendly, pleasant and super helpfull. Would highly recommend both accommodation and location. Note, there was no TV in the room I stayed, this didn't bother me in the least. Just loved the tranquility and beauty of the place.

    Tiny room for the price, but I suppose that’s supply and demand. Some public areas could do with freshening up!

    Fab location, good food, friendly helpful staff.

    It smelt a bit downstairs (old fat) and the public staircase was grubby. We had an issue with them not answering our queries when we wanted to cancel months ago, as we had a wedding later in our holiday- they did not answer email, or phone or Booking.com queries. In the end we decided to go because it was very expensive.

    Brilliant location

    I booked through booking.com, when I tried to leave a message it wasn’t answered, so tried email again not answered, so tried to phone, and that took several times of trying, but this improved closer to the date of stay, so maybe the hotel was in the process of changing hands.

    Location was fantastic, views stunning, food was excellent as well, breakfast was top notch, with good choice & variety.
