I've just returned from cycling all over England and Scotland and I thought I'd share my experience while staying at this hotel. My diary says I stayed at 36 indoor venues, and I can say with confidence that this hotel was my most unpleasant. My reception upon arrival was the coldest I had experienced. My efforts of small talk were met with silence, but I let it slip. I checked in, with more silence. The room was OK, as was the dinner that evening, but while having breakfast the following morning I passed on my thoughts to the elderly waitress about the ambiguously worded breakfast checklist, which I was asked to complete the previous evening. Having completed many such checklists at other hotels in the UK, I could see how it could be improved to allay future confused guests. She politely explained to me the list's intended meaning, and I reiterated that I found it confusing. She then returned to the kitchen, and about 15 seconds later an elderly woman appeared from the same kitchen, stormed over to my table, shook my completed checklist in my face and sternly defended its ambiguous wording. I then realised I must have found the author of the checklist. Her argument not only lacked logic, but it was delivered in such an unprofessional manner that I was truly shocked. I said I was merely passing on some customer feedback to make it easier for future guests, and that there was no need to be so confrontational. She repeated her baseless argument (including yogurt is a cereal) and as she stormed off she blurted out "I'm not used to dealing with stupid people !" Sadly my memories of my stay are unpleasant ones, and I must support the comments of other writers on this website by suggesting you look further afield if you seek an enjoyable stay. For the rest of Scotland and England, I truly enjoyed my visit.

We traveled here for family reasons the rooms were clean & food good. The welcoming wasn’t the best but thought a one off. The waitress was so helpful & again the lady in the morning for breakfast. However we went out for a walk then couldn’t get back in to change to go out. After going round the back we found a door open that went through the kitchen. Yes it wasn’t ideal but only way we could get back in …. The cleaning lady was so rude & it was like being back at school not what you expected to be spoken to as a guest. Then when we came to go back out we found that she had locked us in!!! Ridiculous behaviour & so we then had to go through a fire door to get out as no one came to answer our calls. It was a shame as the hotel owners apologised but it left a bad taste as can imagine. Would we return no ….

After a long cycle ride the comfort of this hotel was very much appreciated. The food was excellent as too was the room. Lairg itself was a pleasant place for an evenings stroll. All in all whatever finds you in Lairg this hotel is well worth a stay.

Dropped in for morning tea and served by delightfully polite smiling staff. Coffee was brewed and very good. Shortbread was very Scottish and tasty. Shame about the scones (plain and fruit) which were at least a day old. Toilets downstairs were spotless and well appointed. Restaurant seating area up a few stairs was a little cramped but well lit with natural light and very clean. Those with mobility issues might struggle a bit. Not much happening in the village and many For Sale signs were on display as we walked about. Nice little stop on our tour. Thank you hosts!

A nice enough hotel. The room with on suite was just OK. The breakfast was not very nice, just 1 egg, 1 piece of bacon, 1 sausage all of which were coated in frying fat, and the driest toast I've ever had. No juice, beans etc. We also had dinner and that was basic, but we new this would be the case. Given that we spent £120 for a 1 night stay in a bnb in Ullapool, the same as we spent for this hotel, we feel that this place is way way over priced and we wished we had stayed somewhere else. Also it didn't help that either a guest of employee was smoking ***** wright under our window.
