We stayed two nights with another couple/friends from the Netherlands at the Summer Isles Hotel driving with our own cars through NW-Scotland. The travel to the hotel alone was worth the visit. Fantastic scenery of mountains and lochs over a long single track road (unthinkable in crowded Holland!). We didn't expect to see such a lovely country house hotel at... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night during a short break touring the West coast. We had previously had lunch in the bar 2 years ago, and enjoyed both the lunch and the setting so much that we vowed to return some day. Our accomodation was adequate but disappointing. Only one useable socket in the room for the hair... More

Dear Laura K, I am sorry that you had such a poor experience with us. I have noted your initial comments and have pointed them out to Housekeeping. However, your major criticisms revolve around my personal behaviour towards you. I honestly do not recall the incidents you mention; I always try to give the same high level of service to... More

We made our first visit here in June 2012. See the Review from then, it was excellent. This time I cannot quite get so excited about it. We decided to return with family at the end of April 2013 for the early season opening. It was still good and welcoming but they have just lost the edge. Manager Jody Marshall... More

Dear Applecross Traveller, Thanks for taking the time to review your time with us. I am pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay and found the accommodation excellent and the food generally to your liking. You are quite correct in saying that my previous General Manager, Jody Marshall, was outstanding in his team leadership. Jody’s “shoes” are big ones to... More

Wester Ross in good weather is heaven on Earth and The Summer Isles Hotel has the most glorious location overlooking the eponymous islands. Our room was in one of the outlying buildings with a mezzanine floor and within a minute from the hotel front door. I would thoroughly recommend this choice. The staff were superb - friendly without being intrusive... More

We came and stayed at Summer Isles for 2 nights, it was a spectacular drive and really is away from everything, with beautiful scenery, seaviews and sunrises/sunsets. We stayed in a deluxe seaview room, it was everything you need and felt warm, homely, comfortable and relaxed). The first night we had dinner in the pub (excellent) with good choice of... More

We came here to celebrate a 'milestone' birthday and were blessed with glorious weather in which to enjoy the stunning scenery. The hotel is not a single building but an eclectic mix of building, although all within metres of the main building in which there are some bedrooms as well as the dining room and most comfortable sitting room.
