“Lived up to all expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011

We were recommended this place over a Michelin starred place that we were going to stay at. Glad we took the advice. We had a wonderful stay. The room was great (very comfortable bed) The dog was welcomed. We loved the quirky restaurant. I was a little concerned when we saw the size of it...but the food and choice of wine was fantastic. I had worried that being so small there would be no atmosphere but the evening was wonderful. We will certainly be back. We have already recommended it to others

“Beautiful place, lovely people, excellent food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

Tucked away with a great view and just far enough off the beaten track to make it beautifully quiet. The room was small but well prepared and all the little extras, including the whisky minatures were top rate. The restaurant tucked round the corner looks over the garden which is home to many birds. Food was excellent, as was the casual but efficient service. Definately worth the short detour on the way to skye.

“Wonderful local food, top notch accommodation, fabulous location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

We arrived at Grants after a long drive from Lochinver, and it was such a pleasure to have a genuinely warm welcome from Tony, at the beginning of our all too short, two night stay.
Tony ( co-proprietor, chef, raconteur, travel guide, etc etc.) , showed us round our suite, the But and Ben.
The suite consists of a lounge with tv, kitchen area, bedroom and shower/toilet room. Everything here is top quality ,spotless and fully equipped.
Tony and Liz have gone into a lot of thought to make their guests comfortable.
All the nice little extras you expect from a 5 star establishment ( and sometimes you don’t get) are here. As well as a wee dram for us , there was fresh milk in the fridge, together with bottled still and sparkling water. Oh yes and a bowl of sweets.
There is a dinner menu to peruse, and even this is bound in a lovely folder. The wine
list is also there and contains very helpful descriptions of each wine.
Meals are served in the conservatory, which is attached to the back of the house.
Attention to detail is also evident here with comfortable chairs, Egyptian cotton tablecloths and napkins, classy china, cutlery and glassware.
At dinner we were greeted by Liz, Tony’s wife, and settled at our table with an aperitif. For such a small establishment, the dinner menu is very comprehensive, and there were even a couple of specials on ‘the blackboard’.
My wife and I opted for Loch Leven clams cooked in coconut milk, chillies, shallots and coriander, followed by the other special on offer, Beef tongue.
Tony has a real understanding of food, and is a cook of real ability. The portions offered are generous and cooked to perfection.
Desserts were a real treat and included cheese. We had just departed from a Michelin starred restaurant, which had offered two slivers of non-local cheese. Tony and Liz outshone the competition. Six different Highland cheeses were served, with fruit, chutney and biscuits. The star cheese for me was one from Tain, curiously named
Blue Monday No. 7, a delicious blue.
The use of locally sourced ingredients was again highlighted by our dinner the following night, when an unsual dish of venison liver was offered….delicious.
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say breakfast is also a treat.
Tony and Liz deserve continued success and are the most incredibly friendly hosts you could ever wish to meet.
This stay was one of the highlights of our tour, and we will definitely return.

Thank you again Tony and Liz.

“A very special place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

We tour the highlands in most years. We stayed at Grants for two nights last year and again just now. The food, room and hospitality shown are second to none. Definately not to be missed for anyone touring the Kyle of Lochalsh /Skye area, this is the best you will find.
