Recommended stop on the NC500
You can't help being impressed by the effort put in by the hosts to make this hotel work. It isn't perfect but thoroughly enjoyable and the location makes this a winner.

Perfect stay
Excellent stay, we were made to feel very welcome. The owners went above and beyond to make sure the place was spotless. The food was fresh from local suppliers and was perfect, my scallops were caught fresh that morning. There is a lovely garden which we sat and had some drinks in. Couldn't fault one thing, our favourite stay from our trip round the north coast of Scotland.

Good location on the NC500 route
Over priced hotel. Room was very small (room 4). Tiny bathroom, close to breakfast room. Strange sort of porch area with a door direct to the car park, though this was handy for unpacking. Nice towels. Carex was the provided soap in the en suite, bit downmarket, as was no orange juice at breakfast. Burgers were excellent bot when asked for mayonnaise the waitress literally plonked a squeeze bottle of Hellmann on the table. Good real ales. Staff pleasant enough. Breakfast ok.

Great place and fabulous hosts. They went out of their way to accommodate us and friends for a wonderful dinner. This was a shared bathroom, which is not my preference, but it was spotless and we had no problems. I would definitely recommend this hotel, but book early!

Relaxing village hotel with a few caveats.
We had been up hill walking in the Munros around Torridon and booked the hotel as a place to have a nice meal and bed for the night. On arriving it was a cosy and welcoming place with a comfortable seating area by the entrance. The room was nice enough although it didn’t have a TV which was a little missed. We had booked a shared bathroom room which seemed a little archaic of us at first but their was no issue and a big clean bath helped ease our tired muscles. We had dinner in the bar and although the menu looked good, when our food arrived the chips were oven cooked. I never thought it would have bothered me but if I go to a hotel I expect proper chips. Another thing was that being a hotel in the highlands, after a big day on the hill, not having a fire on in the bar was a bit of a downer. After a good nights sleep we had a hearty cooked breakfast and headed off. Overall a good experience but with a few things that could be done better.

Overpriced!
Kinlochewe Hotel charges like a city hotel with full amenities but delivers little. Considering the room was with a shared bathroom down the hallway (through another door), did not have a tv, or even a chair in the room, or an accessible powerpoint, I still paid far more for it than most other places in Scotland that had far better rooms. Coffee and tea had to made made squatting on the floor! The food was good but equally overpriced. The people were nice but the shortcomings of this hotel were far greater than any positives to be had.

Nuce Hotel. Dissapointing Rooms
Nice hotel public areas. Food was excellent. Room was small and in need of updating and a proper clean. Bathroom was cold and draughty. Had to use a plug in heater to warm the room. Overpriced.

Remote. In process of being updated.
While this hotel was comfortable, we felt it was overpriced for the facilities offered at present e.g. there was no TV at all. Bathroom was small, but food was very good and nicely presented. Definitely needs a paint job and we were told that this was going to happen soon.

Authentic feel in Scotland
Landing, then driving on the left hand side, and then even maneuvering single lanes with passing zones brings you to this authentic gem. Very friendly staff, local hangout in the bar, and comfy bed are just a few of the highlights. Very good meal and great breakfast rounded out or experience.

Comfortable room, great location
The room was fairly basic but comfortable enough, and reasonably priced. The location was excellent for a weekend of walking, just a short drive from Torridon. The attached bar was a great place to wind down in the evening, with a good selection of beers and good food. Breakfast was also pretty good. Would stay here again if in the area.

Way overpriced
Worst hotel we have ever stayed at in many years of travel. Room dark and dismal with "view" over a back yard. Furniture looked as though it was pre world war two. The top of the "bedside cabinet" was badly blistered and peeling. At £110 per night b&b the price was way above what they should be charging, especially in view of the lack of tv and non-existent wi-fi in room. Hotel does point this out on their website, but that is no excuse for excessive price.

Passing through...........great stop over
A one night stop over in a typical Highland hotel. The new owners are very welcoming, not forgetting how pleasant and friendly all the other young staff are. Convenient location. Bar and restaurant serving good food. Would stay again if in the area as the owners have big plans for updating the hotel.

Stayed as a starting point for hill walking in the Torridon area. Good: Friendly staff, good location, good food and fun selection of whisky Bad: double bed was 2 singles pushed together which were themselves very saggy. Room was cold, we were given a portable heater which did not help
