Will never stay again!These people have no customer service skills at all,the food was vastly over priced & rubbish,my dinner had clearly been microwaved!I am not some ponce who cant make the best of things,im a highlander myself but this was ridiculous.The hotel badly needs modernised,its like something from heartbeat inside & the Dingles yard outside.

We recently attended a family wedding in Acharacle. We visit the area a lot but usually stay with family. On this occasion (because of the wedding) eight of us stayed it the Loch Shiel. On arrival, we could not find any way into the hotel. The bar door was chained up and after, finally locating the front door, we discovered... More

Poor service from the majority of staff I'm afraid. They all seemed a bit tired and overworked to be honest. The hotel is set in the most amazing grounds and area and would love to return one day. Hopefully the bed linen will be better, and the attitude of some of the staff. Food was reasonable.

This was a great place to eat. Despite the fact that we were a large party,11 in total, the hotel was able to accommodate us for a meal at short notice.

It all was reasonable. Rooms ok, food ok, not realy to recommend and not too expensive. The village of Arachacle is not the place you are heading for, though the area is stunning. The hotel actually needs a make over, though my girlfriend loved the atmosphere. The management is very friendly and helpfull. Try Skipper with poached eggs for breakfast!
