When booking this hotel I explained I had difficulties with arthritis. No one told me this hotel is at the top of a long path culminating is a flight of steps suitable for mountain goats and little else.The did, grudgingly' allow me to take the care up a very steep drive with a very poor turning space. When we got... More

Our stay at the Albannach was sublime. The hotel is beautifully situated with views across the harbour towards the imposing Suilven. The room that we had was wonderful with a clean, simple and modern feel; the best that we found during our 10 day trip to the west of Scotland. Having traveled for the food, we weren’t disappointed with interesting... More

Went at the end of March 2012 for 3 nights for my boyfriend's birthday. We stayed in one of the double rooms which although not that big, was very comfy with lovely light decor and a great view...plus a huge modern bathroom. The setting is perfect for a quiet getaway, lovely walks etc etc but the reason to come is... More

After having a great meal here a couple of years ago, I decided to treat myself and my partner for a night's stay at this hotel. We were not disappointed and the comfy interesting room complemented the delicious food superbly. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, all rooms faced towards the loch so consequently good views are... More

Few places can rank with The Albannach. Starting with the most amazing drive to get there, this quaint family run place is on the Northwest coast of the Scottish Highlands in a fishing village. The hotel is a gem and the restaurant is a Michelin star. The culinary experience is outrageous and worth every penny. Once in a lifetime experience... More

Travelled all the way up from Beauly, near Inverness for Dinner at the Albannach. Outstanding food really like the idea of not having any choice as it is a fixed menu. Shows that the Chef is confident in the quality of his food. Will definitely return and stay here next time. In a week of wonderful food this one stood... More

Where else from your arrival to departure are you so well looked after you begin to take it for granted. The rooms are all beautiful, have tried most now. Service is superb and discreet. Setting is amazing. Dinner more an experience than a meal. What a shock to get home and fine that your every need is not catered for,... More

We were staying in Lochinver and on recommendation went for dinner at this Michelin star restaurant. A set menu dinner, it was five courses and absolutely fabulous. Our twelve or so fellow diners were very quiet and whispering to each other which was a little off putting, prompting the question "Is this is a reastaurant or a Cathedral?" Certainly it... More

Second stay in this wonderful place which we couldn't fault. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion. From the welcome with tea to the comfort of the room and of course the excellence of the dinner ( not forgetting the oysters as a canape nor the breakfast with proper porrige) we loved it. Try hard to afford it, its... More
