Our opinion of Kintail Lodge improved throughout our stay. Unfortunately we entered through the bar, not realising that the intended entrance for the accommodation is around the side, which we only saw when we left. As such, we arrived in the bar and felt a bit conspicuous walking through with our luggage while everyone was enjoying a drink. The room was fine, nothing particularly special but clean, spacious and functional. We ate in the bar, enjoying watching the goats pass by over the road, and the food exceeded our expectations. The chef clearly takes pride in the food and you could tell the ingredients and preparation are carefully thought through. We spent a lovely, relaxed evening enjoying dinner and then playing pool, realising that the bar is actually a really welcoming space. The hotel is on a busy road but the sound insulation is excellent. Also the view from our room and the hotel generally is spectacular if the weather co-operates, and you can ignore the road as it did for us. All in all, we were happy with our stay but, looking back at what we paid across our road trip this was our most expensive room and I'm not sure this is justified as the high point was the evening meal which is obviously paid for separately.
