Kirkaig Lodge

Beautiful views, large room, continental breakfast was above average.

We knew it was a bit remote - it is but narrow road is not well travelled. A huge bathroom but small sink, no towel rack etc. Few plug in outlets. All minor nits.

The location was spectacular. Everything about it: remoteness, presence of hairy coos nearby, view from our room, clean air, local walks. The room was beautiful, clean and not fussy; incredible windows but also good dark curtains. Really nice bathroom and all the usual conveniences. Breakfast was in a delightful room also with big windows and our same view, and was self-serve (convenient!) cereal, oatmeal, toast/pastries, yogurt, fruit, cheese, ham, hardboiled eggs, tomatoes, milk, OJ, tea and coffee. There was a lovely background of a radio set at a low volume to what appeared to be Gaelic news. Soothing. Steve and Jacqueline, our hosts, were really nice and not intrusive, but answered questions helpfully. Local restaurant Peet's is a not-miss, as are Lochinver Larder's savory pies. A really nice near-ish place is Am Fuaran bar in Achiltinbuie. NB: 17 miles is about 45 minutes, here.

The only slightly strange thing was a mild sewer-gas like odor in the bathroom for the first 2 nights/days. There was a heavy rain and the next night/day, the odor was gone. Perhaps something about the rain changed the way that the sewage was draining? We did not mention it at the time as it was mild, and it did not interfere with our enjoyment.

This was an amazing place to stay, with spectacular views, very clean and cosy

Nothing

Bedroom Facilities were good and comfortable. Recommendation to eat at PEETS

Venue was not in Lochinver. It was 14 minutes away on a road off a single lane road. For price would have expected more choice than a set continental breakfast which was left in fridge to find. Other than a 5 minute introduction to dining room and bedroom on arrival did not see host again. No one around when I left. Over priced
