The attached restaurant, Shieldaig Bar & Coast Kitchen, is a highlight for many, thanks to tasty meals with an emphasis on locally caught fish.

Loch-Side Gem!

loch viewwarm roomtasteful decorexcellent host

The location was excellent. The views of the loch were amazing. I really liked that the rooms were warm. The tasteful decor included armchairs, I found, so I could enjoy the view. Cristina was cute. She was an excellent host.

The paper was peeling in bedrooms! though the staff tacked it back up next time we went down.

Acceptable Stay

loch viewfriendly staffpeeling wallpaperblack mould

The location overlooks the loch from the front. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was huge and the food was delicious.

The room was tired with peeling wallpaper. The shower tray had cracks and black mould in the grout. A small room is desperately in need of updating. The room was advertised as mountain view but it looked onto a banked area at the back.
