I didn't stay in the hotel but ate in the restaurant. I had the seafood pasta which was absolutely amazing! and they certainly didn't scrimp on the seafood. Really well cooked and filling. My friend had fish and brulee for dessert, which he said was delicious. I can highly recommend. They have got a few tables out the back with... More

The view of the mountain sunset and Castle Varrick from our room was the perfect end to a day of sightseeing in the northern highlands. You can't find better seafood in town and the roomy pub gives you a lot of options for chilling out and chatting with other guests and locals. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here one night en route to Ullapool. Our room was lovely and the decor very pleasant. It was very clean and comfortable, and of average size. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the snack we had in the bar the previous night was very nice. We watched the football with some locals and... More

My wife and I had a great meal at the Ben Loyal. We can not comment on the accommodation as we did not stay here. The bar is very friendly and the view is fantastic. The food is fresh, affordable and well presented.

We stayed here for one night without booking in advance. The room was nicely presented and the bed was very comfortable. The room was nicely decorated and had a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. As we arrived late in the evening we opted for a room without a view as didn't think it was worth paying an extra £5pppn for... More

After a day hiking up and down Ben Loyal I decided to stay at the hotel (rather than stay in bothy). The staff were friendly and wecoming (even though I was a wet and muddy mess by that point in the evening!). I stayed in a single room with a view of the Kyle of Tongue. Although the room was...

We stopped off here after our trip up Ben Hope at the end of January. The people – staff and locals – could not have been friendlier. Quite often in remote rural places in some parts of Scotland, the locals can be a bit stand-offish and cold and don’t take terribly well to incomers. But this certainly wasn’t the case... More
