“Superb food, accommodation, service in a great setting.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

I have stayed in and eaten at hotels, restaurants and other accommodation, all over the world. This ranks as one of the best. The food is well up to 'Michelin' standard, presented without most of the pomp and showmanship associated with such establishments, don't expect bow ties and uniformed service, Tony, the patron, is quite likely to serve you and discuss the ingredients, locally sourced, and how he has cooked them. Alternately Liz his able partner is equally versed in what you are eating, added to which she is a sommelier working from an excellent cellar.
Accommodation is superb, achieved by great attention to detail. We, my wife and I, could not fault the thought that had gone into proving us with every small facet that helped improve a perception of total luxury. We had the suite which provided us with a sitting room, with small kitchen attached, a double bedroom and an excellent bathroom, with a good power shower and if we had wished we could have just sat back and enjoyed the quiet comfort instead of venturing out to the easily reached sites like Eileen Doran, Skye, Plockton, Applecross etc.

Grants is situated in some of the most stunning country in these islands, the warm welcome you receive and the high standards presented at every turn, make this one of the places you want to go back to. We highly recommend ,Grants of Craigellachie.

My wife and I make a 13 hour drive from London just to stay here for the weekend. There are certain areas in which this place excels . The food is superb. Much better then the Mitchelling rated place that I have visited in that area. The rooms are very clean with pleasant little touches here and there. Friendly hosts and fantastic location. I really can't be more positive about this place. Lovely, lovely place.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

Stayed 1 night on way up west coast of Scotland. Room, hosts, food and location all superb! Stayed in the but and ben - fluffy duvet and towels, fab shower, spotlessly clean, all you could want. Pure luxury in idyllic location overlooking the loch. Lovely little restaurant with fantastic fresh fish, and excellent wine selection. Breakfast was top class. Wished we'd been able to stay longer.

“The highlight of our Scottish holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011

Our 2 week visit to Scotland ended with 3 days at Grants. What excellent value for money! The best food of our holiday - high lights included the warm scallop mousse with a crab and lobster bisque, sliced rump beef rolled around a pork and oatmeal stuffing and a belgian chocolate tart. After delicious meals we slept soundly in a supremely comfortable bed. We are already planning our next visit. Parting from Tony and Liz at the end of our stay was like leaving old friends.

“Amazing Restaurant in Amazing Part of the world”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011

Excellent service, friendly hosts, genuine, the most exquisite food beautifully cooked and presented - I had A warm mousse of Hebridean diver caught scallops with Corran crab and squat lobster bisque which was definitely one of the finest starters I have ever had followed by Pan roasted breast of Gressingham duckling with black cherries and Amaretto and A selection of Highlands and Islands cheeses with homemade oatcakes, and the oatcakes were served warm ! Awesome- the wine list brilliant, the views of the loch and surrounding hills are just incredible, you wouldnt want to be anywhere else The rooms anr beautiful too, you just have to go there and see for yourself ! breakfasts are amazing too , and all served with freshly made morning rolls ! Simply the best of everything !
