The front of house staff were friendly & welcoming and were knowledgeable about both the new food menu and the drinks ind the bar. Whilst waiting for the food they chatted and engaged customers about sea fishing, island life and norn iron accents! The straight forward menu offered great choices and I declined the hake in favour of the venison pie, which was excellent - locally sourced and generous portions. The beers were well kept. The crumble was tasty although I would have preferred custard to ice cream and the whiskey recommendation : Bruichladdich, rounded off a celebratory meal in fine style. An enjoyable, good value meal, in a deservedly busy restaurant, even though it was mid week; friendly relaxed atmosphere staffed by efficient and friendly staff who represented the talented kitchen staff very well. Worth making a detour for, although I only had to walk down the hill from the B&B.

Booked Sunday lunch here. Had to change the time but need not have worried as we were the only two there! Such a shame as the food was delicious - locals you are missing out!We had yellow split pea soup to start, then I had a healthy super food salad and my husband had a trio of lamb chops. Oh.My.Word! Absolutely delicious food . Couldn’t fault any of it. The flavours were wonderful and there was a lot of it as well. No room for dessert so just had a coffee. Our waitress was lovely and friendly - originally from Spain she is now is Skye and enjoying it- though not so much the weather! If you live here then go and eat here! If you don’t and are on holiday- go and eat here! You will not be disappointed!

We arrived in different times - no covid last time.The menu seemed slightly smaller and a few things weren't available but frankly that is a good thing. they had run out because peopoe are going out again.We were a large party and had to sit in two groups to comply with covid regulations. This was fine because we had emailed ahead and had been told about their arrangments. During our week long holiday on Skye we have come across differing interpretations of the rules so I would recommend ringing or emailing ahead of visiting anywhere in case their rules are too oppresive or confusing.The food we had was absolutely fine in quality but some of the portion sizes were confusing ie. a childs portion of macaroni cheese was larger than an adult portion of lasagne. The venison burger was very good and the curry was a surprise in that it was small but very good for a bar meal. The staff worked very hard and were quite attentive especially considering the difficult circumstances covid creates.An added advantage to eating here was that we managed to prolong our visit with a few games of pool afterwards.All in all a good experience.

Personeel draagt mondkapjes en overal hangen/staan desinfectiemiddelen. Dat is in deze Covid-19 tijd belangrijk!

Ate here the other week. Overall as the heading states, it was ok. Good service overall. No cask ale which is always disappointing in a pub. Salmon special was good, fish & chips were poor, haddock had been completely over deep fried. The overall internal decor was poor compared to cracking job they’ve done on the externals. Lights on full brightness in the evening, lacking atmosphere with no candles, light dimming etc. I hope this business ends up doing well, but at the moment it’s just a bit average.

You can’t book and in summer busy with hotel guests and local b&b s. Limited menu with daily specials. The mushroom soup was excellent but the real star was the venison casserole - recommended because they had run out of steak. I am glad they had since this dish was a gem.

In small towns you often take what you get. The Ardvasar seems to have a small pub and a restaurant at the hotel. The restaurant was clean, friendly and served good food. The menu was about average in scope of selections and price. We had a rookie waitress "my first night!" so the service was good and augmented by youthful enthusiasm.

We were staying really close to the Ardvasar for a few days in August. The outside is beautiful and I was really excited that it would be our local for the week. Unfortunately the inside lets it down. Instead of the couthy highland pub I was expecting it's more of a sports bar.Huge TV which was on all the time. We asked for it to be turned off as no-one was watching it. Apparently it could only be turned down! It put people off and limited where people could sit...we saw two groups come in amd leave without staying for a drink because the only tables available were under the TV. It's a shame...a good bothy pub should be for a bit of banter between locals and tourists.Keep the TV for the big sporting events and the place would be much better. We only visited once because of the lack of atmosphere.Shame because they have a good range of local beers,a very good draught cider and friendly staff.

Despite the leather-bound menu, there isn't much on the menu here beyond fish and chips and burgers of various types. Generally there is a special or two posted, however, if you are looking for something a bit different. The staff we encountered were all lovely, and the food portions generous.

When we arrived the restaurant had 2 more tables of guests. When I asked the waiter for a whine list, he asked me if I want a red one or a white one, after he told me which sorts he had. Meanwhile, for the other table he picked four bottles of red wine and showed them all including a detailed explanation. I ordered a starter and my husband a main course. I received my starter half an hour before he received his main course. All other guests received their main courses before him (he had fish and chips) though we ordered first. My starter was a joke for that price. Food and drinks were ok (not great) and the service was horrible. I‘d never go there again.

We ordered our drinks at the bar and they had a good selection of beers and wines. Our waiter was friendly and went to great lengths to make us feel welcome and carefully attended to our orders. Food arrived promptly. We found that if you ordered simpler dishes, you got what you expected and got something fresh and delicious. If you ordered something fancy, it had a little more character than (certainly we) expected.Nonetheless, we had a satisfying experience and enjoyed our dinner at the Ardvasar Hotel, thank you.

I have been using the bar at the Ardvasar since 1966 and stayed at the hotel in the 1970's and 1980's. Now at an all-time low. The rooms and the staff used to be very good. A recent meal was very disappointing - there is no excuse for a Skye hotel to use fish and meat from local sources. Not a good advert for the hotel having the large chain suppliers parked outside. Would improve with local staff, and management who cared about repeat trade, and had not alienated most of the local residents. Really look forward to the revival of the hotel under new management

The Village of Ardvasar is very limited in respect to places to have an evening meal while staying at one of the local B&B's but the Ardvasar Hotel Restaurant was recommended by our B&B as a good place to eat. Our B&B host made a reservation for us. We walked the short distance to the restaurant as parking in the village is limited and when we arrived the restaurant host welcomed us and immediately provided us with a table. The dining area is separate from the public bar (which is great) so it was quiet. The menu was simple, the food was good and was served hot and in a timely fashion. The decor and set up of table is very basic and typical of a small Scottish village.

Die Besitzer unseres B&B empfahlen uns dieses Restaurant. Sie seien dort selbst gerne zu Gast. Und in der Tat haben wir hier sehr gut gegessen. Am Abend waren alle Tische belegt, weshalb sich ein kurzer Anruf sicher lohnt. Die Speisekarte bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas und hält auch vegetarische Alternativen bereit. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Si l'hôtel est fort agréable, spacieux, calme et cosy et propre, le restaurant lui n'en n'est pas vraiment un c'est plus un dépannage pour manger mais les plats ne sont pas bons du tout c'est un fait. Rien n'est vraiment cuisiné rien n'est frais. À éviter pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine

Die Speisekarte bietet eine schöne Auswahl, bei der niemand hungrig bleiben muss. Der Service ist extrem nett, das Essen sehr gut und verhältnismäßig günstig. Wenn man Glück hat, scheint die Sonne und man kann sehr gemütlich draußen sitzen - ist zwar direkt an der Straße, diese ist aber sehr wenig befahren! Auch wenn man zwischendurch nur auf einen Tee vorbeikommt, fühlt man sich hier gut aufgehoben.

Another visit to the Ardvasar Hotel, but just for Supper this time. Excellent selection of food available and the swift and efficient service during these busy times of the year is commendable.A super atmosphere here enhanced by the presence of Pixie!So worth a visit.

We were staying in somewhere else in Ardvasar which is pretty limited in terms of eating out, especially if you want to leave the car and have a couple of drinks with your meal. we ate there twice - once by booking, the other as a walk in - but on both occasions the hotel restaurant was welcoming very welcoming. Although not outstanding, our food was good, hot and in generous portions. The staff were all friendly and attentive. Prices seemed a little high by mainland standards, but the slight extra was worth it for the convenience of being able to walk.Overall I'd rate this as "good" but Trip Advisor has nothing between average and very good.

I'm afraid our experience here was very poor. The food was fine but it was massively overpriced (£16.50 for a very standard chicken breast with haggis). Frankly, I felt robbed when paying for it.But what was worse was the service, specifically from the man who appeared to be 'the boss', the two young members of staff were very pleasant.I had a very minor complaint, that my pint of lager was flat, and was not impressed at all by the way it was handled. His attitude was awful. He was arrogant and argumentative. For example, instead of simply apologising that he'd given me a filthy glass with the bottle of beer I eventually got he argued that it was actually clean, apparently the greasy residue inside the glass (which he acknowledged was there) didn't count because the glass had been through the washer.A minor complaint like I originally made should never end with a disgruntled customer writing a poor review. A minor complaint is a chance to show just how good a host you are, and why it's worth paying over the odds for the food to be in your restaurant. That chance was totally missed tonight and I won't be back.

Back again at The Ardvasar Hotel on Skye and another super experience. This part of Skye is truly delightful and the hotel is only 6 or 7 minutes from Armadale with access to Mallaig on the Ferry.Beautiful views from the front facing rooms and I feel quite confident to say that your visit here will be really enjoyable. The Restaurant and Bar seem always to be full of friendly folk, locals and visitors alike.Excellent food served here with very large portions so beware and make sure you plan a little exercise afterwards! Richard and his Staff work very hard to ensure that all visitors are well looked after.

maanden geleden al 1 nacht gereserveerd voor een twin-bed.bij aankomst kregen we een smerig ruikend kamertje met een double toegewezen voor £140,-Aangegeven dat dit niet hetgeen was wat we hadden gereserveerd. Alles was bezet volgens de eigenaar.Na aandringen en een "goed gesprek" kregen we de Fourposter kamer tot onze beschikking.Mooie ruime kamer, met een goed bed maar stoffig en niet schoon.Het diner was matig evenals het ontbijt, totaal zo'n £200,- afgerekend.kortom, door gebrek aan accommodatie in deze omgeving is het echt een over de top prijs en riekt het naar Mafia achtige praktijken.Advies: rij met een grote hoog om dit hotel heen!Het is er VRESELIJK!

Spent two nights here last week and so enjoyed it. Amazing situation within walking distance of the ferry at Armadale with incredible views of this beautiful part of the island and to the mainland.Richard, the Owner, works very hard to ensure your visit will be enjoyable ably assisted by Fiona and other members of Staff. Good food available in the Bar and Restaurant.

We did not stay in this hotel but spent few hours in the evening followed by dinner. The food was great. We had chicken curry, burger and fish. We also enjoyed the vegetable soup of the day which had some unique local flavours. The place has a good selection of local beers as well. The host has a pet dog named Pixy. She is just adorable and my son had a lovely time playing with her. The staff is very friendly and service is good.

My girlfriend and I ate evening meal here and had a lovely time. The staff are very friendly and made us feel super welcome. The food was great - I had chicken liver to start (which was gorgeous) and a lovely haggis stuffed chicken breast for main course. Spot on. The prices were ok too - about in line with Skye. There is also a great selection of local beers - try the Skye Red or Skye Gold.

We stayed nearby and this was just about the only game in town unless we wanted to have a long drive. Charming host but average food. We were told the fish and chips were great - the fish and chips were ok. The beef and ale pie was wildly oversalted. It served a purpose.

I didn't stay here but eat here for both nights I stayed locally. Richard is a great host and ensured his staff provided the service he expects himself. There is an al a carte and specials menu and a tough choice, but everything was so well cooked and presented. It was an option, but because I was on my own, I was provided with a meal buddy, and she loved venison. Even if you are not staying here or nearby, well worth a visit.

Il n'y a pas beaucoup ee choix dans le coin alors pat rapport à ce fait le pub est un bon compromis. Rien d'exceptionnel au niveau du menu, le saumon était bien et en quantité suffisante. Le gérant/serveur était très gentil. Un large éventail de whiskies sur la carte.

This is our 4th visit to Skye and we have always enjoyed visiting this hotel for food! Just back from a lovely Valentines meal, with both our daughters! Richard is a lovely man who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and looked after! I cannot believe the negative views on here! The food was lovely and fresh and my daughters were over the moon to get red roses for valentines when they were leaving! They said they want to go there every year for valentines!!

We stopped off on our way Torridon, lovely filter coffee and a beautiful homemade scone filled with blackcurrant jam. We sat in the conservatory which was lovely and warm with the sun shining through.
