Achness Hotel Restaurant in Highland

Excellent supper, had a very good rib eye cooked medium rare paired with an Argentine cabaret sauvignon, delicious and all expertly delivered by owner Patrick. Highly recommended.

Dined at Achness on a couple of nights whilst staying in the area, an older hotel that has seen finer days but operated by a family who clearly aim to deliver good local produce with first class service. Menu was small but every dish was really well cooked, broccoli & Stilton soup, steak pie, chicken curry and steaks were worthy of highlight. Delivering a quality service in a rural area must be really challenging but Achness do this really well and really worth a detour if you are in the area. Of special note was Veronica who ran the bar, served the tables and generally looked after everything front of house. She is a young lady with a great personality and a real future in hospitality. Thanks guys, hopefully return soon .

Arrived just after last orders for food after a hard day cycling. Patrick, James and the rest of the staff were so friendly and understanding. They provided us with great food and beer, and even allowed us to pitch our tent. Next morning breakfast was available . Great people, great food, great place. Highly recommend.

Excellent food; super friendly & helpful staff; Heather has been outstanding ; definitely worth a visit; highly recommended

We stayed for two nights Liz the manager was a superb host we arrived on the Friday and stayed till the Sunday and all staff were amazing food was 5 star we were there for a wedding buffet on the Saturday which was tremendous as well. Breakfast was super and everything was served fresh and hot and if you needed anything the staff were very willing and eager to help. Lovely scenery and peaceful will be visiting again. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this hotel for the service and the food enjoyed every minute we were there.

Stopped here on a multi day cycling tour cold and wet with no booking. We were thoroughly welcomed and immediately directed to the lovely comfy lounge to warm up and to wait for the restaurant to open. Lovely room and great food with good vegetarian options. Service and welcome from reception to all of the restaurant and breakfast staff was absolutely brilliant. Everyone was just so nice. The hotel should be very proud and of everybody that works there. Thanks for a great stay and would highly recommend.

Er zijn weinig restaurants in de omgeving van Lairg, we waren heel blij dat we hier terecht konden. Het (kleine) restaurant zat vol maar ze waren zo vriendelijk om een plekje voor ons te regelen aan een tafeltje bij de bar. Het eten was redelijk.

Popped in last night but no spaces so went back tonight for dinner. We hadn’t booked but they fitted us in and we was not disappointed in the slightest the menu is small but the food is fantastic. We are up from the south coast on holiday and when we came back next year we will definitely be back. Fantastic staff ,fantastic service ,fantastic food highly recommended

The manager Heather is a genuine, lovely, hard working, host who is a complete credit to the hotel and the best example of Scottish hospitality I have ever experienced. Myself and a few friends recently stayed at the hotel, when Heather could not have done more for us and kept us entertained with her kindness and conversation all evening making sure we were well looked after by all her staff who reflected her standards and kindness. Great hotel, lovely bar and fantastic food. Thank you for a great stay Heather.

Great pub grub and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Fantastic atmosphere and a much needed pitstop on the tough Highland Trail 550 bikepacking event.

We were a group of 9 friends cycling the An Turas Mor trail from Glasgow to Cape Wrath. The hotel was close to fully booked but staff had previously helped us to find other accommodation for the remainder of our group (also very good!). The hospitality at the Achness is the best you are likely to encounter. The food was great, which we enjoyed outside in the garden , looking out across the beautiful countryside.

The friendliest staff I've ever met. Heather is the nicest Manager out there. All around a great experience and would highly recommend.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Turned to today for a breakfast which they went out of their way and provided us with even thou they don’t serve breakfast to passing trade. The breakfast its self was beautiful. The staff were the most welcoming, friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to return to try lunch or evening meal. Thank you again

A warm and inviting country hotel. Very well run by Heather and her team. We had a simple but very nice lunch, freshly prepared by the chef with the use of local produce. Would definitely consider a stay here. John and Jackie Park.

Lovely welcome. We’re not often along that way but last couple of times we tried it was closed. (Time of year) Delighted they are open for business with such lovely staff and though their menu isn’t massive (for lunch, Kenny was hoping for scampi lol) we both had a delicious meal, I’m gluten intolerant and Chef catered well. Really good quality food, proper cooking, in relaxed doggy friendly environment. I’m sure over the season the Chef will have specials etc and I’m told their Sunday roast is amazing. Great experience, thank you guys x

Just a soup and sandwiches menu and minimum staffing because of the time of year but we had excellent lentil soup and beautiful toasties on very tasty bread with generous side salads. Friendly, welcoming service and very clean and comfortable dining area. Will definitely return.

We stayed in the Achness for four nights, what a great discovery. Nice clean, warm rooms with very comfortable beds. Very useful drying room for get all our kit dry after a day outdoors on the rain. The uncomplicated menu of homemade hearty food was delicious, served by friendly and helpful staff, with a bonus that it serves a good pint as well! Well done Patrick and his team!

We stayed here for 2 nights and couldn’t have been made more welcome. Patrick the owner was most hospitable, Brenda behind the bar was really helpful and friendly and Donald the gillie has so much knowledge of the river and a cracking sense of humour! The food was very enjoyable, especially the Cullen Skink and venison burger. We stayed in one of the en-suite rooms which was clean with a large comfortable bed. Would highly recommend Achness Hotel as a place to stay if you are visiting the river Cassley and it’s stunning falls nearby, or walking around the beautiful local trails.

Fabulous place! Thank you to Heather for taking care of me, wife, and friends. We showed up right before they closed for their brake between lunch and dinner and instead of telling us they were closed, Heather welcomed us in and made us a great lunch and took great care of us!!!

Food was terrible! Ordered rump steak tasteless, cooked in god knows what type of oil. Partner had fish same issue. Would never eat here again very disappointing. On the plus side waiter who served us was lovely and attentive.

We have dined in the bar area on previous holidays and returned last week for 2 visits. As usual we had a lovely welcome including our dog from the lady on duty who brought our drinks and gave us time to chose from the menu....

Really great food with great service from the staff and Chief, at reasonable prices, We went both nights while in the area and would recommend to anyone to eat here you won't be disapointed also Great vegetarian options

stayed here this week, (September0, and can't praise this hotel and staff enough. Nothing was a bother, food fantastic and Fraser the chef, manager and general everything never stopped. The staff were pleasant, friendly and very helpful. No complaints at all just recommendation for anyone...

Stopped here just by chance for lunch. Positioned in a wonderful location and we were lucky enough to be able to sit in the garden. The staff were ever so friendly even giving the dogs biscuits. The two meals we had were freshly cooked and...

We had dinner here whilst staying at a local B&B. IT. WAS. AMAZING! Chef does an outstanding job on the food and when i asked if it was possible to substitue a mushroom sauce he made me a peppercorn sauce with no fuss, it was...

My son was shooting at the nearby Highland shooting centre. Evening meal was taken at the Achness. In spite of staffing difficulties , the service , and quality of the food was exceptional. We went back the next night! Highly recommended.

We stopped off for a meal while on a campervan holiday. Food was very good and hospitality was even better. They let us park our van in the hotel car park for the night so we could enjoy wine with the meal and a whisky...

From the outside, hotel is beautifully clean & tidy. Inside the bar, is very much in the style of the sporting hotel with wood panelling. This made it feel very homely & comfortable and was completely in keeping with the style of the hotel. Staff...

Lovely meal, lovely and helpful staff…..until a group of 5 “Hooray Henry’s” turned up. Loud, totally ignorant of all Covid precautions with which all other customers were complying, they ruined our evening to such an extent that we upped and left.

A friend and I were touring by motorbike and stayed nearby, our hosts recommended the Achness. We visited during lockdown restrictions and chose to sit outside so we could have a beer with our meals. What a fantastic experience, warm cheerful welcome, well kept fresh...

Fantastic lunch seated outdoors in the lovely gardens. Lovely fresh home cooked food which we honestly couldn't fault. Good bit of craic with the lovely lassie behind the bar and the local sherpa, Tank! Just a good honest place with good, honest folk which is...

We were doing a bike packing trip to Durness and this was the penultimate stop, we had wet feet from cycling through the many puddles on the off road route and were delighted to see the open fire! We were allowed to dry our shoes...

As we were staying in the area for two nights we were hoping there would be enough choice for us both to enjoy our meals. And there was. Reasonably priced (even before eat out to help out) a good selection and a well stocked bar. Great meals both nights. Highly recommend

We stayed in the hotel and ate in the hotel. The food is amazing. So resonable priced as well. We also had breakfast this was also amzing.

We stopped here simply because we were hungry and driving and are so glad we did. From the moment we stepped in the door to the moment we left was faultless. The young lady serving could not have been more friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic (quiche and macaroni with smoked haddock) and the portions very generous and I felt guilty at not being able to finish mine. The value for money was outstanding- 2 main courses, 1 soft drink and 1 pint of lager for £23. The best value food we have eaten in a long time. We live about an hour away and will definitely be making the journey again to sample more of the lovely food and hospitality.

Although we were too late to book accommodation for our salmon fishing on the River Cassley in the actual hotel, the Achness didn't disappoint given the close proximity to the river, the outstanding bar staff and perfect location. For any lover of highland salmon rivers, get this one on your bucket list. P.s. the chilli con carne is the best I've ever tasted!! Just make sure your chest waders are quick release........

It was a bit of a eat here or go hungry as the location is remote but we were very impressed, well cooked traditional tasty pub style food, the bar area is a little dated but that adds to its charm, if you get there early there are a couple of tables in the front window with great views.We went back twice so that says a lot.Well worth a visit

Via eigenaren B&B Ceol Mor, bij het (PUB)restaurant van dit hotel terecht gekomen. Goede maaltijd tegen goede prijs. Ik had een Venison burger, die voor mijn gevoel niet op kon, zoveel als het was. In tegenstelling tot veel restaurants in de omgeveing is dit restaurant wel open in deze tijd van het jaar. Vlakbij zijn op ongeveer 300 meter lopen, mooie watervallen te bwonderen.

We visited here and had a nice simple but tasty meal., for second time Service was good and vastly improved from the previous waiter/barman experience from few years ago, who was not interested in customers, and put us off returning

Stayed for 3 nights at the hotel.Room was ckean with a comfortable bed and hit shower.Staff and all the locals were all very friendly.Food was top drawer, cullen skink, home made pizza, fish and chips just realky wholesome good quality food.Liz the manager was also very accomodating with early or late breakfast.A must stay and visit if in the area.

We have visited the Achness Hotel on 3 or 4 occasions. It is on the edge of a remote hamlet in a beautiful part of Sutherland. The rooms are fairly basic but comfortable and there is usually a plentiful supply of hot water. Most of the staff are very friendly and pleasant. Best of all, the food is really good, with a large menu available for lunch and dinner. Local people make the most of having the restaurant nearby and the bar is cosy. Breakfast is included in the cost of your stay and, again, is of a high standard. We enjoy returning to the Achness Hotel, where we feel at home, despite being Londoners!

We stayed out of season when the restaurant was closed but the bar meals were great and there was a big enough choice to have something different every night. Even though this is a hotel for the fishing and stalking community there was a great choice of vegetarian meals. The atmosphere was friendly, roaring fire and a great choice of whiskies and gins.Good breakfast selection - possibly the best smoked haddock I've ever had for breakfast. Friendly service. Rooms a decent size, warm and comfy. Plenty of hot water for a hot bath after a day outdoors and a really good shower (which can be a rarity in the far north).

Considering the remote location my wife and I were astounded by the huge choice of bar meals and low price. (Take-away prices were even lower!) The hotel itself was cosy and clean and service was of an extremely high standard. Our meals were substantial and cooked to perfection. Being less than an hour from home (Alness) and at the start of a beautiful but unfrequented highland glen, we will definitely return and strongly recommend to friends and family.

What a delight to find a selection of new gin behind the bar! Try Rose & the Orkney Gins! The food was plentiful, tasty and reasonably priced & the service excellent!

Staying nearby and visited on two consecutive nights for dinner. Menu is mostly your basic bar meals, but very good quality, well cooked, huge portions and excellent value. Just what's required after a long day in the hills or out on the water. Service was very quick and staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Choice of two well-kept hand-pumped ales too, as well as your usual drinks selection.

What a nice discovery! A great restaurant that’s tucked away in a beautiful country setting. Terrific food from a menu with lots of choices and all the staff were fantastic. Don’t miss this one .... although you might think you’ve missed it because the location is secluded so don’t give up as you search.

We stayed for a week not far from this hotel and on the last night of our holiday we ventured to the Hotel Bar which we were told that it did good food and welcomed dogs. We were immediately welcomed in and with very quick service we had our order taken. Not that long after our starter arrived. Everyone enjoyed it and my husband said it was the best Cullen Skink he had ever tasted. Our main meals didn't disappoint us either.Very large portions and after eating my meal I was wishing I had room for a sweet as they looked delicious too.Even our dog was given a treat. They were also very nice to our baby grand daughter. Our party of four adults a baby and a dog were all pleased with their visit. Would certainly visit again if in this area.

We called in on spec for sandwiches, a cup of tea and a beer. The sandwiches were superb, the cup of tea great and the beer (hand pulled no less) wonderful. The whole thing was amazingly inexpensive too! We'll be back!

This hotel has managed to achieve the balance of a warm, welcome, homely atmosphere, excellent quality, and great value, perfectly. All staff brilliant, friendly and welcoming from breakfast to dinner time and late. Breakfast huge and delicious. Bar menu superb and reasonably priced. A great local feel to the bar - real fire, pints, pool table and dart board. Rooms clean and comfortable. We used the location as a base to visit north west, north, and north east coasts on a series of day trips - perfect for this. Our 2 kids (8 & 5) were treated brilliantly by the friendly, accommodating staff, and they loved their home from home. 1st class. Thanks to manager Liz and all the hard-working staff who make this hotel superb.

The Achness Hotel is tucked away in beautiful Rosehall. The rooms are not luxurious but warm, comfortable and have all you need including a hairdryer. Any request for extra blankets etc is swiftly sorted. The biggest surprise is the quality of the food the restaurant manages to produce. Freshly cooked food not too " faffed " around with but always delicious. Breakfast is very good too with an excellent assortment of hot and cold food. AND coffee that is good!

The restaurant was recommended by Tracey and Ashley at Invercassley cottage B & B where we were staying. The food was great, the price was good too. A stay at Invercassley and a meal The Achness hotel made for a perfect stay in Rosehall.

Enjoyed a good filling meal washed down by a couple of decent pints. There is no pretension here. We both ate the pie of the day which came with a variety of vegetables and in large quantity. The service was friendly and efficient and the prices very reasonable.

En esta parte del mundo no hay mucha variedad de sitios para comer, así que no sabíamos qué esperar cuando nos fuimos en 6 kilómetros por la carretera desde nuestro ser y estar para comer aquí. Nos sorprendió gratamente, tanto así que volvimos de nuevo durante nuestra estancia. No es un lugar moderno, pero no histórico o simplemente un sincero pub en las Highlands. La selección de la comida y la cerveza es buena y los precios razonables. Ambos son buenos y abundantes, que es lo que queríamos después de un día de turismo. Los huéspedes cuando estuvimos allí eran una mezcla de turistas y locales que era agradable. El personal era servicial y amable.

This place is not the most modern place you will ever eat, but it serves filling food and decent beer. If you expect anything else you will be disappointed. The staff were friendly. We left with full bellies and no complaints.

Sé que el Achness Hotel muy bien, después de haber estado allí en el mes de marzo durante los últimos cuatro años (2014, 2015, 2016 y 2017). De marzo en el Scottish higlands tiende a ser un mes tranquilo, con números de visitantes mucho menos que en la principal temporada turística de verano.

Have eaten here a few times and as it is my local, I am so glad that on each occasion the food has been wonderful. Plus side is the pool table in the bar!

This pub was recommended by our hosts at a nearby bed and breakfast. The staff were friendly and we both enjoyed our meals. The portions were generous and we didn't need the desert menu. Would come again next time we are up here.

Siempre nos visita este hotel cuando estamos en la zona. Buena comida y personal amable. Un gran lugar para alojarse si estás pescando el río, que está a poca distancia del hotel. Fuera de la pista y una inmejorable y perfecto para relajarse. Volveremos.

Nos alojamos una noche para una fiesta de cumpleaños familiar. Teníamos el almuerzo, la cena de búfer (en el grupo) y el desayuno. La familia prácticamente se adueñaron del lugar. Hay una gran función/comedor, salón residents (s) y el bar público. No comidas de bar....

Detenido cuando pasan en la tarde para una comida en el bar. Comidas bar escocés solía ser embarrassingly mala pero no ahora. Paté de venado teníamos servido con chutney y tortas, una guarnición muy agradable ensalada, seguido por ahumado merluza en le ofrecerá. Todo estaba delicioso pero el ahumado merluza, merece una mención especial, ya que era excelente. Vale la pena hacer un desvío para comer aquí.

We had a nice meal here while staying at nearby Invercassley Cottage (lovely place to stay). The food was quite good, and the service friendly and attentive. They also have a super array of malt whiskies to sample.

Delicious foodVery friendly & helpful staff. Go out of their way to help! :)A lovely sporting Hotel & Restaurant. :)Some rooms are in a stable annex, & are well equipped for hot drinks. :)

They sell smidge spray and nets though. The room was stunning, the bed was the most comfy with great view of the hill. They had two t.v remote controls and it was nigh on impossible to know how to work the t.v

simple carvery where you cut the joint according to your own preference.... very much like eating as a guest in a friends home

We popped in to the hotel after a day out, it was busy due to the fishing season we stood at the bar and waited to be served, and we waited and waited - the barmaid seemed to ignore us until we got someone else to serve us. We left feeling unwelcomed and the service was very poor with staff outside smoking rather than providing us with a friendly professional service. We have been to this hotel on several occasions and usually its a great atmosphere however we wont be back after this visit!!

Passed through a few times. Charming staff with excellent scottish beers. Food is workmanlike, does the job after a day out walking the hills or fishing. Pub is in a stunning spot of the river bank.

Having a holiday home in the village we regularly visit the Achness and when we have friends to visit as it is a short stroll from our accomodation. The pub is a attached to the hotel which is an old fashioned fishing accomodation. Decor is a little dated and the recent addition of a pool table in the main dining area has reduced the number of tables available. The pub is often full of locals and its nice that dogs are welcome, as well as fisherman or stalkers in all their wet & grubby gear. Have quite a wide choice of standard pub meals, and a few specials. The pub is open all year and serves food until 8.30pm. Order was taken quickly and cutlery and sauces brought to the table by chatty member of staff. When meals arrived the portions were generous in size , but some of the deep fried meals like chicken burgers and goujons were very over done and quite tasteless. Most people in the party enjoyed the food, and we went back a second time later in the week so couldn't be that bad! Due to the size of the portions we couldn't manage dessert. If you want fancy fine dining don't visit the Achness, but if you want standard pub fayre that's quick and easy then the Achness is fine,

Standard pub fare here served in generous portions. Decor dated and a bit well worn but a great view from the window. Staff very friendly and super efficient in speedily serving food to ravenous travellers. Dog was allowed in bar and provided with a doggy biscuit and bowl of water. Thank you.You can sometimes see salmon leaping at the nearby Cassely Falls.

This hotel is in a beautiful location and the staff are friendly - however the public rooms are very tired, tacky and in need of 'up market renovation'. The loo's are awful. The food was low standard, frozen chips badly cooked and the chef needs presentation lessons. To top this, on arrival we could see 2/3 kitchen staff standing in a doorway smoking...very off putting.

We spent 2 nights here, lovely scenery and in the middle of nowhere. The accommodation was adequate and very comfortable with plenty of room. Friendly staff throughout the hotel made it a very pleasant stay. The breakfasts served were not for the calorie conscious however. Beautifully cooked and presented they were hard to resist! We had evening meals in the dining room and the bar, both were equally as good as each other. Highly recommended

We were a group of 8 originally wanting to eat in the restaurant but we called in the morning to book and were told that we couldn't be accommodated based on the number of extra portions - so we decided upon a bar meal. The food was acceptable but the service perfunctory and without warmth. We were at the beginning of our holiday in the area and in spite of the limited number of available restaurants, we decided not to return.

Beautiful hotel in remote surroundings, lots of choice on the menu all of which was very reasonably priced. Went with a friend for dinner and we stayed after dinner and played some pool. Excellent service with friendly attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble - felt extremely welcome and it was a delight to sit near the roaring fire. I have been back several times since and each time its the same great service and friendly faces. Beautiful location too with ample parking spaces. Large selection of malts and ales available.

Came in late after long day of hunting, kitchen was closing down, but we were offered soup and sandwich. Perfect service, thanks

I was taken here by a friend for dinner. It is a 7:30 for 8pm set up. The restaurant was attractive with good views to the outside. It is a self service dinner which although a little unusual works rather well. Two choice of starters, two of mains, sweets, cheese & biscuits and coffee served in the lounge. The hot plate was attractively set out and the meals hot. The meal was one of the best I have had for a long time. I had roast rack of lamb for main course which was cooked to perfection and extremely tender. Potatoes & vegetables also cooked and presented extremely well. My compliments to the chef for a most enjoyable meal.

Absolutely GOOD food, varaity in the meny, and decent stock of wine, good service AND reasonable prices for a family of 5 adults not going "budget". They had lots of single malts :-)

Rare for me, since I was taken there for lunch last year, that seldom happens, but this was a great place to eat, excellent food, pleasant setting, professional staff, and a restaurant full of customers. Can't comment on the value as I did not pay, but called in here again today for a very good hot chocolate mid morning drink, three biscuits each and only £4.00 for the two of us, I call that a bargain!

We stayed two nights and on both evenings ate in the bar. Very good food, much better than we were expecting. The menu was extensive and the portions large, in fact too large!Malcolm and his wife made us very welcome. Our room was pretty basic but had everything we needed for our short stay.Would definitely stay again.

This hotel/pub was recommended by our B&B - really glad we went in. Not the best looking pub from the outside and not the best décor but a lovely location and view. Good choice of meals with generous portions. We had Cullen skink followed by Haggis, neaps and tatties - all really tasty and well presented. There were several locals drinking and eating in the bar too which is a good sign. Friendly and welcoming host.

Myself and two fishing companions have stayed at the Achness twice in the last two months, both on fishing related trips. The hotel has neither the most luxurious rooms or the best food (breakfast buffet excluded!!) What the hotel does have is charm, good service, fantastic location, and in Malcolm and his lovely wife, excellent hosts. I look forward to my next stay.

Had the pleasure of several evening meals in the Achness restaurant. The food was excellent with a wide choice and all that one could manage: starter, soup, main course, sweet, cheese and coffee. The value is good and there is a good range of wines, beers and spirits - a really good range of malts - as one might expect! The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming, willing and able to fulfil any reasonable requests on the customers' part. Booking is essential, and there is a carvery on three nights a week with an a la carte menu on the others. The bar menu is excellent too. We shall be back later in the year.

A warm and cheerie welcome. Tasty food, good service, great value for money. Beautiful setting by the River Cassley. We have eaten here several times and would recommend!

Found this whilst lost in the highlands,staff were very helpful and friendly food was above average for a bar which was quiet but cosy. A roaring fire welcomed us have booked a week long stay for September.

Been to the achness a couple of time in the last month. Staff very friendly and the manager Malcolm was amazing. Defo be back soon.....

Small village hotel in a beautiful location.warm and friendly atmosphere.we ate in the bar which has a great choice of meals and the food was lovely.the staff are all very pleasant and make you feel very welcome. Hope to be back again soon

We happened upon this hotel by chance and what a find. Excellent hospitality in a beautiful setting. A varied,imaginative menu, reasonably priced and providing good food well cooked.A real gem.

Having a second home in the village of Rosehall, the Achness hotel ( or the leisur centre as it is known by locals) is our local pub & restaurant.From the outside it doesn't look much, but it has a pleasant view over fields of sheep & horses, and a small garden to sit out in the front ( uf you can brave the midges) Don't be put off when you go inside, especially if you are expecting fancy decor , this is a working pub for locals, so you will find everyone at the bar: fisherman in waders, farmers , dogs in fact anyone is welcome and the bar reflects this. However everyone is friendly and within minutes you will feel that the bar staff and locals have known you for years. They have a wide menu , some normal pub menu classic, some things with a Highlands mix, and some interesting specials. You can also eat in the hotels restaurant which serves a three course carvery, always good quality but very popular so you need to book a table. If table is full with fishers you might not get in. However we tend to eat in the pub. Oreders are always taken quickly, and they are very adapting, 10 of us turned up for a meal last week, and they were quick happy for us to move tables around etc. They also have a wide children's menu which is great. Food is served quickly and always well cooked and good sized portions, Fish & chips and Cullen Skink is very recommended.Remember to save room for desserts which are also good hearty sized portions. Prices are good , and they are open for meals right through out the year which is a real bonus in teh winter when it often appears that Scotland is shut!! They also offer a takeaway service, so if you are staying locally you can phone in your order and collect later.Recommend going on a wednesday evening which is the local music night, anyone is welcome to take part if they have some musical ability and there is a supply of instruments available to have a go. they also offer informal guitare lessons before the main evening. Music evening normally starts at 9pm.If you are staying in the area, or passing through on the way to West Coast recommend stopping off here

stayed for a week while working locally. brilliant food excellent hotel really enjoyed this stay just remember to bring your fishing rods!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyed a fantastic, and reasonably priced, Fisherman's Lunch in the bar. Only sorry I wasn't there long enough to try the rest of the menu. Compliments to the kitchen staff.

I have returned to this hotel twice, since discovering it last year.It's off the beaten trail, and a wonderful base for exploring the beautiful wilds of Sutherland. Whether your preference is the East or West coasts, they are both within an hour's drive, and the scenery along the route is absolutely stunning.The welcome is always warm, the menu excellent, and the food is really good value and great quality. Free wifi, and nothing's too much trouble for the staff.This is a brililant place to escape to and recharge the batteries.

The menu is fantastic and the quality and preparation excellent. Prices are very good and there is an excellent range of drinks to accompany the food. The bar - and food - is much appreciated by locals who travel miles to enjoy it.The carvery in the restaurant is fantastic -if you can do justice to it! Starter, soup, choice of main courses and many veg, sweet, cheeseboard, coffee accompanied by a very good wine list. This is a meal that needs to be booked in advance - but well worth the planning. The lounge and the lounge bar are very comfortable and the owners very hospitable, friendly and accommodating. A meal to savour.
