Hotel Loch Shiel Hotel
Main Street, Acharacle, PH36 4JL, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Before booking, we read the reviews on booking.com and they indicated that the hotel accommodation was average but that the restaurant was very good. This proved to be completely accurate. It needs to be borne in mind that this is a Scottish highland hotel in a tiny village which has to be all things to all men: hotel, restaurant, local pub, etc. As such it is typical of its type and much better than many. Dinner on both nights was excellent. They have a menu which is just the right size, enough to provide a choice and not so much that would mean frozen dishes. The seafood was fresh, local and really very good. Serving staff were very friendly and informative but not cloying or overly familiar. The bar in the hotel is friendly and well-stocked. The beer is well-kept and they have a nice range of single malts. All in all, this was a good base for two days of exploration of the Arnamurchan Peninsula and we would stay there again.
United KingdomReally can't fault anything - in fact this was one the best stays I've had across the UK. Staff were friendly and accomodating, room was great temperature, shower was spot on and the breakfast was great. They even had me a dinner prepared, despite my late arrival. Definitely be rebooking next time we have work up Mallaig way.
United KingdomWe liked being just in the middle of nowhere - for one night perfect, for more too boring for my family, seating outside, my girls liked the swing in the tree a lot :), food was good and for breakfast they make the eggs fresh for you any style and the staff was very friendly.
United States of AmericaThe warmest hospitality , awesome staff. Wonderful fresh local food brilliantly cooked. A little oasis in the middle of nowherr
United KingdomLoved the friendly staff, characterful hotel and comfortable beds. Bit disappointed that the seafood on the menu wasn't available on the nights I was there,but other than that highly recommend.
