to get started.

The Lodge itself was Perfect. Everything you want.... clean... handsomely decorated.... original detail of the woodwork and structure. My spouse wanted to see seals.....call central casting they have an indigenous seal colony!!! Really!!!! The breakfast was one of the best of the trip and dinner was pretty good!!!! The room #1 was big and comfortable. It’s view is the garden, parking lot and of the water.

THIS OLD SHOOTING LODGE HAS AN UNBEATABLE ISOLATED LOCATION ON ITS OWN SMALL ROCKY, YACHT FILLED INLET FROM GAIRLOCH. BIG ROOMS AND THAT VIEW. FOOD HIGH QUALITY. WHISKY AND CREAM WITH BREAKFAST PORRIDGE?

Beautifully situated on Loch Gairloch, Wester Ross. Lovely Victorian recently refurbished. Situated on 26,000 acres of beautifully forested grounds. Quite idyllic.

Beautiful location- what stood out was the customer service. They went out of their way for us, and other guests. Food was excellent. We loved the falconry experience. Ian knows so much about the owls and raptors and handles them well.

“The Lodge is Splendid...But beware you maybe washing dishes in lieu of Payment.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Some of the staff were unpleasant. Plus when we went to pay the said they couldn’t reach American Express and they said Visa actually declined the charge. Upon leaving we immediately went to a bank to find out what happened..... Amex said there was nothing wrong with the card and Visa said the same and we continued to use both cards. When they suggested we may have wash dishes..... that was pretty much the END for us. The bank said it is a regular occurrence that visitors wind up having to pay in cash. Who carries that kind of money with them nowadays? No one! But we just happened to get money on Skye to buy some antique jewelry so we had enough money on us. But what kind of business doesn’t solve the payment problems?? A poorly run business. If our stay at the Savoy on the same trip would I really been asked to possibly wash dishes or carry over$10,000 pounds on us to pay the bill? My spouse turned to me when we left and said” I think it’s time to go home!” Unbelievable! Then as long time Audubon birders watchers the birds tied down was difficult but learning that there is a business that takes male chicks gases them to death in mass numbers then frozen and sold to places as food was very disappointing. As seasoned travelers when you get lemons make lemonade. Almost the minute we left this place the sun came out!! We saw 9 full rainbows with one ending in the middle of the road that I danced the Jig in for good luck!!! It’s like we were in the Third World not Britain.

Our room was tiny, bed was tiny, mattress was very bouncy, remoteness almost ‘locked in’ expensive lodge dinners, our most expensive stay but certainly not the best overall
‘Lodge’ feel, great staff, location and outlook, nice bar, full size pool table available, Wellingtons available, local produce and beverages available

Room layout was not so convenient - we took a family room which was listed as up to five people, but having five beds there was quite crouded (in fact I think that even four was not that ideal..).
Amazing location, luxurious feeling in bedding, towels etc. Old fashion style in the best way possible. Great selection of whiskey at the bar, and again that special atmosphere. Very good breakfast included.

Very expensive and although the staff were great the waiters were not up the job, this was poor training not poor attitude, if it was 25% cheaper no problem but if you’re offering a silver service standard you have to achieve it.

Sheildaig lodge has an idyllic, if somewhat isolated location on a beautiful private bay. Fabulous food, comfortable accommodation and a sense of travelling back in time for all the right reasons.... I love this hotel and it’s a return journey for us.
