Out-of-the-way location with beautiful views and lovely walks nearby. Rooms in the new section of the hotel are large and very modern with a Scandinavian feel. Friendly, professional staff and, best of all, absolutely superb food - better than most London restaurants.

Beautiful setting at the head of a small loch. We had a twin room in the old building – nicely furnished (attractive use of Scottish fabrics), fantastic view along the loch. Comfortable bar, with fine views. Very good food, attractively presented, and served in stylish restaurant, again with fine views from the lower end of the dining room. House wine reasonably priced, and a good pint of Red Cuillin traditional ale. Very good breakfast. Very friendly staff.
We did a walk along the loch and saw otters feeding, and a golden eagle flying by. Would definitely return.

We took the wrong "track" down to the Lodge, as the road signs are confusing, and the approach is not via the Locheport road, which is on the other side of the loch. However, it is only a short distance from the main Lochmaddy to Clachan Rd. and just as well, as there are only rudimentary passing places before reaching the Lodge. We had anticipated a rather formal atmosphere, but this was dispelled by a most friendly and welcoming reception. However, it is ideally situation for fishing, and, not unexpectedly, there were a number of shall we say "county types" with a desire to dominate the bar area with recounting their fishing triumphs.However, the lounge area was most comfortable, and we had a large, beautifully appointed room with a luxurious bathroom, and sensational views over the lochs, having merely specified a twin room.
The food was as good as we had anticipated, with wonderful local produce, and mouth watering succulent scallops, and in a restaurant with amazing views, enhanced by a wonderful sunset. However,the occasion did not seem as "timeless", as the location suggested, and we felt that the staff we unnecessarily prescriptive about the timing of breakfast on a Saturday morning in the Outer Isles.
With an imaginative playground area for young children, and a network of paths and walks in such a beautiful area, there was plenty for families to do, and Lochmaddy was only a quarter an hour away by car.

A great find. We had one of the new rooms - large, light, comfortable, well equipped, wonderful views, decent size bathroom. Food in the bar and at breakfast was excellent. Proper ingredients done well and with lots of seafood. Best chowder ever.
High standards with relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect combination. This place is definitely a cut above.
Above all, the owners really seemed to want their guests to enjoy themselves and went out of their way to be helpful and hospitable - a surprisingly rare occurrence in the so-called hospitality industry.
