Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Tigh An Eilean Hotel is praised for its amazing loch-side location, with great views from the rooms, lounge, and restaurant areas, especially of the loch. The attached Coastal Kitchen offers excellent seafood, and the breakfast, including the haggis, is considered delicious; a veggie breakfast is available upon request. While some guests have found the rooms to be small, the hotel stands out for providing a very cozy experience near the North Coast 500 route, with a comfortable bed and clean, modern bathrooms.

Decent Stay with a Good Restaurant

excellent food attentive staff small room wooden shed
The hotel location is excellent, right by the loch. I found the restaurant food and service to be very good. I was grateful for the attentive staff.
My room was small, and there wasn't much space to walk around the bed. I also noted the mountain view was partially obscured by a wooden shed. It wasn't ideal.

loch view good breakfast warm room unresponsive staff absent reception unanswered calls
the location overlooking the loch was lovely and i found the breakfast to be very good. the dinner offered lots of choice, including local fish. our room was warm and i found it comfortable.
The staff seemed completely unresponsive! i tried calling several times but i didn't receive a response at reception. i also emailed several times. There were no replies. it made it hard to get help when needed, and that was frustrating.

A Balanced Stay

sitting rooms excellent food small room cracked shower
The restaurant had excellent food. The service was great. I also liked the cozy sitting rooms. They offered a space to relax. The hotel also provided an honor bar.
The room felt a bit small for the price. This was slightly disappointing. The shower room had some mould and the shower tray was cracked. This detracted from the experience
