Shieldaig lodge is a lovely building in a beautiful location with terrific views over the loch. The loch view rooms have a great aspect. There’s been investment in the public areas with the whisky bar and lounges furnished to a high standard. The staff were great, very friendly and welcoming, particularly Portia who was very helpful. Unfortunately the bedrooms haven’t seen the same investment. Our room was tired and shabby with mismatched dated furniture. The windows in the bedroom and sealant in the en suite both showed sign of mould. The walls between the rooms are quite thin so you can hear conversations from nearby rooms. It’s a dog friendly hotel. We were woken each morning by dogs barking next to us. Breakfast was fine if you want a full Scottish but other options were limited. No fresh fruit salad, but tinned fruit was available. The hotel has an overpriced restaurant on site which I’ve reviewed separately. Overall we felt let down by the room quality. We expected better at this price point.

Our one night stay in May was a nearly, but not quite experience. The traditionally luxurious style works well on initial impression and the room was lovely. However on closer inspection the public rooms are not quite up to the same standard. The location and grounds are great. However the service really was lacking. This is an expensive hotel (close on £400 per night) and for that I expect very attentive service at all times. Instead, it was difficult to find anyone at all sometimes, and the bar and front of house service wasn't what it should have been. The restaurant is a whole other (bad) story - see my separate review, one star. Go somewhere else for dinner.
