Hotels near Strath Oykel Forest

"First impressions were not great and it was downhill from there. No greeting, were made to feel we were interrupting the receptionist and we were told that because there were two bus groups staying the night that it might be a problem having breakfast when we wanted in the morning. While our room was clean, it was akin to a motel room, almost identical to the actual motel room we stayed elsewhere the next night. The property feels tired, long overdue for a facelift. Breakfast was a waste of time. When we arrived two staff members were too busy having some kind of heated discussion to acknowledge us, so we stood there awkwardly until they were finished. The young girl then waved us to an area vaguely, clearly wishing she was elsewhere. We did too once we saw the ‘food’ on offer. Wet scrambled eggs are never appetising, the sausages somehow tasted floury and a number of items needed replenishing. Tables weren’t being cleaned leaving new guests no clean or set tables to choose from. Bus tour group guests were leaving their dirty plates on the buffet and filling their water bottles with juice from the dispensers. The staff we did encounter were morose and some seemed on the verge of tears. My husband didn’t even have his morning coffee once he saw the state of the long overdue for a clean out sugar bowl."

"A gem of a find in a remote location next to a beautiful Loch. The rooms are generous in size with large windows overlooking the loch, and fully functional, including a kitchen area and bathroom. Meals and breakfast are available in the Inn next door, not a huge menu but ideal if you don’t want to cook as nearest town is 18 miles away. Food was very tasty."

"I cannot rave enough about my stay at the Castle! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food, both dinner and breakfast were superb ( the sea bass at dinner was delicious and the black pudding was to die for!) The room was immaculate and beautiful (we stayed in the Oak Suite). If you can stay there for sure!"

"The hotel is very dated but clean and served our needs for a stopover during a motorcycle tour with plenty of parking for the bikes. Breakfast was plentiful and the haggis was amazing. Not much to do in Strathpeffer but we found a lovely little cafe a few mins walk away "

"Very small room, no where really to put bags except bathroom. but otherwise happy"

"Really helpful and caring staff. Good food in the restaurant and for breakfast. We would stay here again."

"We had a lovely one night stay at Foinaven. Warmly greeted on arrival, given good advice about the town and a nice route to get there. Very comfy room with the added bonus of a complimentary breakfast brought to the room in the morning. Perfect to set us up for the next leg of our trip. Thanks very much :)"

"The room was small but perfectly functional and well furnished as was the bathroom. The breakfast room was attractive and the breakfast itself of a very high standard. The scrambled egg and smoked salmon was delightful "
