Our third trip here and as impressed as ever. This is a really special place and the view across to Suilven is out of this world. The food is outstanding - both the dinner and the breakfast. Even the canapes were divine. The decor is wonderfully quirky - how do they manage to create a restaurant that is cosy and... More

We spent two glorious nights here. Have stayed and eaten at other Michelin starred places and this is the best! Fantastic views across Lochinver harbour to Suilven from 4 poster. Food was delicious and the atmosphere peaty and cosy. No pretention just perfection.

We stayed for two nights here and I can honestly say they were the best two nights I have had in any hotel. It was our honeymoon do expectations were high and it did not disappoint. The staff were warm, welcoming and tried to please us at any moment e.g asking for random breakfast combinations. The room had a wonderful... More

An unforgettable evening with splendid service and astonishing food. For a special meal it was real value for money. The staff and location are wonderful, and we ended with a great chat with the chef-proprietor, who has no business being as nice as he is. We can't wait until our next visit. Long live the Albannach!

Everything about this place is just fantastic, we really enjoyed a few pre dinner drinks in front of the roaring log fire before siting down to a display of culinary excellence. The whole experience was just a pleasure and a great way to spend a weekend. Can't wait to go back......must also say, the service was second to none...

This was our second stay at the Albannach and I am sure we will be back. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped, the location is stunning, the staff are very attentive and the owners friendly. We ate here on both nights of our stay and thoroughly enjoyed both meals, the only negative comments I can make about the food... More

We were staying in Drumbeg and the 4 of us were lucky to have dinner here on 24th March.. Don't know what people are complaining about. We all thought the food was stunning. Crab cake as an extra course and the best lamb I have ever tasted. Ending with lovely souffle. The staff were very attentative and informative. We were... More

It had taken us eighteen months to find a suitable date for a trip to this hotel with friends but it was well worth the wait. They have a well deserved Michelin star. The food was stunning and every course brought fresh delights. it's hard to single out any one particular dish for praise the turbot, the guinea fowl, the... More

The welcome was warm, the food was superb; I particularly enjoyed the halibut mousseline with lobster bisque, but it was all excellent and they have a great wine list. The food is not overfussy and they have some great accompaniments, such as the intensely flavoured purple potatoes.

We were very surprised to read literature in our self catering holiday cottage telling us that there was a Michelin Star Restaurant in Lochinver and we could not resist the temptation to try it out. We dined on a Wednesday night in mid September and yet the restaurant was packed. Dinner is served at 2000 with guests encouraged to arrive... More
