We didn't stay at this hotel, but we thoroughly enjoyed the lovely friendly atmosphere when we called in on two occasions for evening meals during our recent holiday. We were made to feel very welcome by the landlord, his wife and the waitress, when we turned up unannounced. The food was excellent and extremely well presented. We can recommend the... More

Two wet, geriatric cyclists arrived at lunchtime to be met with real Highland hospitality, heat and excellent food and chat. Anyone staying or dining in this hotel will be well served More

We were on the west coast for a few days and planned to walk to Sandwood Bay (very much recommended but another story) we wanted a hotel within an easy drive. We found Overscaig. And what a find it was. We stayed one night at the very start of their 2012 season. The hotel is small, expertly and interestingly furnished... More

We've stayed at Overscaig many times over the past 7 or 8 years (didn't make it this year, unfortunately - this review covers 2003-2010), usually for a few nights at a time. From the very first visit we've felt right at home here - the friendliness, lack of formality, great food and lovely views across Loch Shin make this a... More

We had a very bad experience at the Overscraig Hotel. We were on a cycling tour and booked a night in advance. Just before we arrived, it started to rain and we just got a little bit wet. The owner of the hotel showed us very clearly that we were not welcome like this. Instead of saying hello, he wanted... More

Dear Zazie666, we are sorry that you felt you had a bad experience. However, we are very disappointed with the accuracy and honesty of your review. You have misrepresented our hotel and exaggerated or deliberately misinterpreted our actions on the day whilst down-playing or ignoring your own. At the time we explained our genuine surprise for the feelings you expressed... More

We stayed a couple of nights in July 2011, with friends (sorry it has taken so long to post this review). We all found it a thoroughly relaxing experience. Everything was first class - the food (both formally in the dining room and informally in the bar area), the sleeping accommodation, the public areas, the ambience and the welcome. The... More

Stayed two nights in September 2011. We arrived late from a stop in Lairg to be met by the owner and shown right in to dinner. The meal was fantastic. Our room had a great view over the loch and met all our expectations. The fishing arranged for the next day went off without a hitch. The ghillie George (last... More

I stopped here for coffee one afternoon last week, travelling alone by motorcycle. There being nobody in the reception area, I headed through to the sun lounge at the back of the hotel where the proprietor very rudely demanded that I return to the entrance vestibule and leave my jacket and motorcycle helmet. Had it been a wet day, I... More

Dear Ian-1200GS I am sorry that you felt badly treated. It was a busy dining room and obviously I was feeling the strain. As a fellow motorcyclist I can only apologise again. Thank you for your positive comments about our cake and coffee. We hope that you can return one day and have a coffee on us. More
