Top Aultbea Hotel Reviews

Harbour House Bed & Breakfast

Harbour House Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel has undergone a substantial amount of refurbishment since we last stayed in 2020. We very much enjoyed our King Room with a lovely view of the lake. There is ample parking. We received a great welcome. It's worth noting that the hotel does not offer dining, nor does it have a bar. However you are welcome to bring your own drinks and they provide glasses and ice in the lounge. The breakfasts are good. Just a short stroll into the town centre which has also seen great improvement over the past 6 years. Plenty of places to eat, including a fine dining restaurant. A really nice location."

"A nice, classic-style hotel and probably one of the larger hotels in the town. Itโ€™s conveniently located within walking distance of Co-op and Morrisons Daily. The hotel can be very busy, especially with coach groups, but it was surprisingly quiet at night. The staff could have been friendlier, though. Overall, a pleasant and convenient place to stay."

"Having a personalized owl/falconry session (like you could never get in the states) was magical (though can be impacted by weather as birds don't like the rain either). David (the falconer) was excellent and educational. David (the everything else inside the house) was equally magnificent."
