“Only eat here if you have time to spare”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We were staying locally and decided to go to The Craggan for lunch. We waited for 45 minutes for a sandwich & panini to be served by an utterly disinterested young girl. The lady owner eventually did a round of the few patrons dining, clearly expecting to be told that we were delighted with our dining experience. She was downright rude when I brought the poor service we had received to her attention. The quality of the food was not in questiion, but the attitude of the staff, from the owner down, left a lot to be desired. A bad day / unfortunate experience perhaps, but I would not be in a hurry to go back.

“Very friendly staff, AMAZING landscapes!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We go to the Hotel pretty late but were welcomed very friendly and warm. The rooms are small but clean and comfy. We had some trouble with the TV in our room but got changed to a different room straight away -however, the view out of this window wasn't very nice.
It's a shared bathroom but even though we weren't the only people there it was very clean and nothing negative here!
The food was very yummy and the prices reasonable.
When we left in the morning the owner of the Hotel even gave us amazing tips of where to go and what to do in the area. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Room Tip: Ask for a room with sea-view!

“Lovely welcome, lovely meal”

We called in to the Craggan after a very long drive and were made very welcome, a lovely roaring fire in the bar. The young man who served us was very helpful, we were too early for the evening menu but the bar menu had lots of variety. Our meals were absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. We are hoping to return later in the week to try the evening menu, it is well worth the 3 hour round trip drive.

We recently spent a long weekend staying in the Craggan. The staff were very friendly came away feeling we had known each other for years. The accommodation was clean and fresh. The food was out of this world, very inventive and extremely good value for money. Can't wait to got back. Bar at night was quiet but enjoyable. Lovely location for getting away from it all, scenery fantastic.

“Basic but clean accommodation, superb restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

This is a small hotel with several bedrooms with shared facilities and is conveniently located for travellers to the remote North coast of Scotland. Accomodation was very clean, value for money, and provided a good night's rest. The restaurant had a good selection of menu items. The £24.95 "taster menu" of four courses was in one word outstanding, and of a quality that one would expect in top class restaurants in big European cities at a lot higher price.
