"Nearly £500 a night, but a complete lack of hospitality
We stayed for one night at Hotel Eilean Iarmain, paying £496.57 for our suite and breakfast. While the setting is beautiful, the service and management response were completely unacceptable for a hotel at this luxury price point.
At dinner (which was not included in the room rate), my wife's bread for her bouillabaisse was served burnt. By the time it was replaced she had finished the dish, had she waited it would have gone completely cold. We raised it with the waitress, but no gesture of goodwill was offered. The real disappointment, however, was at checkout. When I brought this up to the manager, expecting a professional apology or a small deduction from the bill, he dismissively told me I "have to understand the kitchen was busy."
When you are paying nearly £500 a night, a busy kitchen is not the guest's problem; it is a management issue. The complete lack of accountability or goodwill over a spoiled dining experience showed very poor hospitality standards. Extremely disappointing."
"Property is under repair work which I would expect due to its age , but they didn’t start until about 10 am and finished around 6.
Breakfast was hot and had a wide variety"
"We just loved our stay at the House of Juniper. Great calm atmosphere, beautifully appointed room and every staff member we came across was warm and welcoming. The breakfast had many wonderful options and was included in our stay. It is obvious that the staff are fully engaged in making this a special place!"
"Good choice of food for dinner. Staff were very friendly and efficient. We were helped with luggage on arrival and on leaving.
The bathroom was really cold with no hot towel rails to heat it."
"The room was extremely dirty and dingy. There were crumbs and white stuff all over the carpet, hair all over the bathroom floors, and my pillow was wet, moldy and smelly."
"When every thing was booked up we ended up staying at Morar Hotel for three nights instead of one. We had to do some room switching here and there as each night was booked separately due to our situation and they were most helpful in the process. It is a bit of a budget place but the location is lovely and the views amazing. The staff were great and the food was good in the restaurant. On the last night my room was a little unclean (crumbs on the floor and desk shelf) but I was tired and it really made no big difference to me, again the view was there! Overall I would recommend a stay here as there are not a ton of options in the area and things book up far in advance."
"Great apartments with lovely views over the Loch. Well equipped and clean with everything you need.
Very good email communication with the staff with smooth check in and check out. "
