“B&B has certainly moved on”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

It must be at least at least 10 years since I stayed in any B&B, I thought them good then but standards have either risen considerably or this guest house is an jewel. Any criticism could only be due to the genre or the remoteness of the location. For it is remote, but peaceful and quiet in December.
The accommodation was up there with the 3 star hotels but the style and standards of the decoration more like a boutique 4 star hotel. We were welcomed with the offer of a cup of tea and at dinner had a choice, the food was great with a choice at each course but understandably they wanted notice of your dinner choice asap.
Don't plan to stroll out to the pub in the evening I think it was 7 miles to the nearest one. During the day there was no restriction on access to the rooms but you wouldn't want to go all the way to this magnificent scenery and stay in your room.

“A lovely home in a wonderful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

Cruachan Lodge is one of the most tranquil and relaxing places that my Wife and i have stayed in. Set in beautiful Assynt - with the Mountains of Suilvan, Canisp, Quinaig etc on your doorstep - you also have the stunning views of Stoer Point and fantastic beaches of Clachtoll and Achmelvich only a short drive away. Dennis and Maggie were the perfect hosts. Charming and welcoming from beginning to end - and oh those breakfasts!! Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the lovely sitting room on a particulary wet July afternoon. We were very sad to leave on our last day and hope to go back to Cruachan Lodge very soon.

“A home from home - absolutely wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2009

I wish this was my house - our room (number 4) was stunning - tastefully decorated, clean and large, with an ensuite with red rolltop bath. Bed very comfortable and a separate sitting area topped off our stay. The downstairs lounge is great - again tastefully furnished and makes your stay even more comfy, with the fire on in the evenings it was a real home from home. Breakfasts good and uncomplicated. Maggie and Dennis are lovely - genuine - hosts - kind and helpful but not overbearing. We will be back!
