A remote position in an area of great beauty....even when the weather drives sleet parallel to the ground! A hotel with completely charming staff,few sea facing rooms which are well worth it if they can be booked but for the sake of the superb food one might even be happy sleeping in a wardrobe.If you want an experience to remember...

dosn't quite reach the levels it used to. I love this hotel, have been twice before and really appreciate that it is small, friendly, relaxed but with a top notch restaurant with an outstanding wine list and (usually) discreet and efficient service to the very highest standard. I'm afraid it falls down on the latter at present. The attention to... More

We spent a very relaxing three nights at the Summer Isles Hotel. The location is enchanting. We ate in the restaurant. Food, staff and service were excellent and pre dinner drinks make the evening feel like an occasion. We also had welcome refreshments in the pub after long days in the hills and found the staff friendly and welcoming. Our... More

By far the best part of this hotel was the drive there and away. Both were terrific. However, the hotel was a great disappointment after some of the other wonderful little places we had stayed in in the Highlands. In fact the best part about staying here was the drive from Scourie to the hotel via. Lochinver and then the... More

Dear BeachSwaggie, Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I am naturally sorry that you felt so negative , although I notice that you gave us individual scores of 5 for cleanliness, 4 each for rooms and sleep quality, 3 each for service and location, and 2 for value: that makes an average score of 3.5, rather higher...

This is a hotel with high aspirations and, remarkably in such a remote location, they succeed most of the time. We had two nights at the beginning of June and that is probably the right length of stay. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed the room in a separate cottage a few steps away from the hotel. In... More

We spent two nights at the Summer Isles Hotel in May 2013 - the first night we ate in the pub, the second night in the restaurant. Service was extremely friendly and efficient: we were met with smiles and helpfulness from everyone and every stage, and on the night we were celebrating my partner's birthday he was even given a...

We spent three nights at the Summer Isles in May. We had our dog with us as well and the whole thing worked well, with a room outside of the main hotel. it was surprising to find such an up-market hotel in such a remote location. The staff were excellent: very friendly and helpful. The food and service in the... More

We had 3 nights here after having a week on the Isle of Harris (www.rodelvalley.com) and it was extremely relaxing. The food was very good. We ate in the main restaurant for 1 night and the bar for the other 2 and really enjoyed the food in both. Breakfast was great and the staff were extremely attentive.

We stayed two nights with another couple/friends from the Netherlands at the Summer Isles Hotel driving with our own cars through NW-Scotland. The travel to the hotel alone was worth the visit. Fantastic scenery of mountains and lochs over a long single track road (unthinkable in crowded Holland!). We didn't expect to see such a lovely country house hotel at... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night during a short break touring the West coast. We had previously had lunch in the bar 2 years ago, and enjoyed both the lunch and the setting so much that we vowed to return some day. Our accomodation was adequate but disappointing. Only one useable socket in the room for the hair... More

Dear Laura K, I am sorry that you had such a poor experience with us. I have noted your initial comments and have pointed them out to Housekeeping. However, your major criticisms revolve around my personal behaviour towards you. I honestly do not recall the incidents you mention; I always try to give the same high level of service to...
