"Ok, so the hotel room was a little faded, not to say shabby, although not offensively so. But this was more than made up for by everything else this characterful hotel offers. It’s like a cozy home-from-home in the northern highlands. The fact that the Altnaharra Hotel is genuinely in the middle of nowhere makes the comfortable lounge and roaring open fire seem even more welcoming. Management and staff were extremely friendly and attentive too. Most surprising of all though, was the food served at dinner. On arrival, the host explained that the hotel had only just reopened for the season (early March) and was not providing a full dinner full menu, but they could rustle up fish and chips, or a pie perhaps. So expectations were not high. However, the food actually served to me in the attractive dining room was a revelation. My haggis fritter starter and sticky toffee pudding dessert were both well above average, but the seared chicken and haggis main was a tour de force, similar to what you might expect from a top-end Edinburgh restaurant. The truth is, the hotel manager is actually a highly accomplished chef, but just doesn’t like to boast about it. So overall, if you’re looking for a cosy highland retreat, brimming with charm and character, and you value great food and friendly personal service, then I would recommend the Altnaharra Hotel unreservedly."

"The pictures do not do true justice to this outstanding property. It really is a rare find having rented many properties over the years.This is an exceptionally large open plan real log house, beautifully constructed with huge tree trunks. No effort has been spared in the attention to detail, it has an impressive lly immaculatel and well stocked kitchen, which includes spices, oils, teas and coffees, pans, gadgets etc.The seating area is inspired, with a well stocked fire place, made up ready to use, and plenty of logs to use.The Turkish steam room was wonderful to use and well constructed on the lower of 3 levels.There are multiple utility rooms, including washing machines (detergents in cupboards), cleaning areas.On arrival, we were also very thankful for the extra touches of bread, milk, a welcome gift pack.The communications from booking through to after we left made a real difference. Heather was so helpful, considerate and attentive. Thank you Heather!!I would challenge anyone to stay and not have their breath taken away.Lastly, not fair away is the village of Lairg where there are two convience stores, a petrol station, and The Pier: a local produce restaurant we loved.From the lodge you cqn quickly drive to amazing Highland mountian ranges, and the spectacular beach at Clachtol near Stoer. Lots of walks, wild deer and superb countryside.We can't recommend this place enough, we shall return!"

"Recently had a 3 night stay here. Our room and the hotel itself was beautiful. However the prices of food and drinks were quite high. We were at an event here and there was only one member of staff on the bar, he was often leaving the bar to get glasses, having to go for drinks from other bar etc often leaving customers waiting about 20 minutes at a time! there should have been at least two people serving such and event! Snow and ice were covered all over the grounds making it very dangerous for guests. Some guests of the event actually had to clear a path themselves to try ensure a safer walkway, especially as there were guests with disabilities. Such a shame for these things to let the hotel down. Staff were very pleasant and friendly though, so credit to them for that. "

"The room was fantastic with a view to match and all the staff were amazing. We will be back soon in the summer if possible 🙂"
