Top Handa Island Hotel Reviews

The Drumbeg Hotel

The Drumbeg Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was my wife and I’s best stay in the Highlands. The hotel is incredibly cozy, clean, and uniquely personal. Richard and Fiona are incredibly hospitable, kind, and genuinely care about their guests’ experience. We accidentally arrived after dinner (and after all available food options for two towns had already closed). Fiona was kind enough to reopen the kitchen and cook us full meals off of their menu and allow us a full service dinner. We are incredibly grateful. The room was the best we experienced in the Highlands. We stayed in the stag room upstairs. The bathroom was incredibly clean and very charming and beautiful! We plan to return and would love to rebook at this hotel (and hopefully get the same room). Cannot recommend highly enough. (P.S. the Drumbeg viewpoint is absolutely stunning! We almost missed it and are very thankful to see it.)"

"Very lovely stay in the pod. It was clean and cozy and comfortable. We did not receive the instructions for how to check in but contacted the host and solved the problem. It was stressful because there is very little internet access in that area. The beautiful beach is a short walk away."
