"We had the pleasure of staying with Marion & Moray recently. We survived the applecross pass drive! The complementary wee dram was very welcome after the drive & fighting the midges while watching the sunset at the beach. We were in a top floor room. Chatted with Marion & Moray that evening & over the full breakfast offering, talked about Applecross & some culture, events & travel tips which we were useful and gladly adopted! Truly wonderful stay with a lovely friendly couple you will not be disapponted .. watch out for the midges which will attack you 😂.. we also booked the applecross sauna with stunning views which we recommend. Many thanks Marion & Moray .. Andras & Rob"

Kintail Lodge Hotel

Kintail Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing place to stay if you want to enjoy both the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye! The location is about a 30 minute drive from Skye and so much more affordable than accommodations on the actual isle. This is a lovely boutique hotel in an old hunting lodge right on Loch Duich. Our room was very comfortable and well stocked and the staff was all so friendly, especially Gavin. Breakfast came included with our room, both made to order meals and fruit, yogurt, granola, toast, coffee and juices. Our favorite thing about the Kintail Lodge was the restaurant. We had dinner both nights and loved everything we are, especially the Cullen skink (fish chowder), the fish and chips, and cranachan (a Scottish dessert with whipped cream, berries, and a dash of Scotch. There was a nice path past the loch that led to a sidewalk on the main road, so I took beautiful walks around the loch each morning. Can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel!"
