Kintail Lodge Hotel

We just returned from a spectacular tour of Scotland. Kintail Lodge was one of our stops, where we had a wonderful time. They are located right on a lovely bay and our rooms were well appointed, the service was excellent and we truly felt Helen and her staff were dedicated to ensuring we saw the best side of their magical country. We appreciated the Wee Bun House located outside the main lodge where you could get hot drinks or pastries throughout the day. They also have a bar on the premises. I would highly recommend Kintail to anyone traveling through the area - you won’t be disappointed!

After a very wet walk we ate a really good meal at the Kintail Lodge. The food is (in the best sense) homely and well prepared. I cannot speak to the accommodation but it is a very convenient stop off to eat for walkers, and, motorists heading to Skye. We were stuck for a taxi at the end of the evening and Helen, the manager, stepped in and gave us a lift back. Those actions really make a holiday. Thank you Helen.

On arrival nice cosy stove on in bar where we had great choice of food for our evening meal , very tasty . Entrance to the hotel the ambiance set straight away very homely , comfortable and fresh and our room did not disappoint!! Equally in the morning in the breakfast room plenty of choice something for everyone from fresh fruit salad , cereal to a delicious freshly cooked Scottish breakfast . All staff we met made us feel very welcome , well worth a visit , also the views down the loch & the towering mountains make this a place to go anytime of year 🤓

Let me start off by saying, this place is amazing. This lodge has what it takes to have true Scottish hospitality at the highest level. My son and I drove up to this hotel very late in the evening looking for place to lay our head since the hotel up the road 5 miles gave our room away at the height of peak season. As like all the other hotels and B&B's we stopped at before getting here, they also didn't have any rooms available. We sat in the bar as Aoife, the bartender made numerous calls to B&B's in the areas to see if she could locate a room for us. She gave it her all and in the end my son and I were ok with sleeping in the car. She was going to locate some blankets for us and told us to park around back and we will be safe. The deer and the goats that come by in the overnight hours are very friendly. Before she brought us the blankets she made a call to the manager, Helen, making sure if it was ok. Aoife brought us the blankets and then she walked back to take a phone call. On the other end of the line was Helen, the manage, she said, she wouldn't have a mother and son sleeping outside in the cold and made an executive decision. The owners of the hotel were on a holiday vacation and they have their own private suite at the lodge. Helen and Aoife put us up in their room for the night. We both couldn't believe what has happened. I think both my son and I were in shock. We went from sleeping in the car to laying our head of a plush pillow and comfy bed. The next morning we were able to meet Helen face to face and to tell her how much their generosity meant to my son and myself. We even got to play with her dog Bailey who is a real cutie. In this world, some people are sent to protect and take care of you when you least expect it. I think on this day it was Aoife and Helen. We will ever be in debt to you. If you make it the states you both have a place to stay in Texas. Sending our love to Scotland <3, Sheryl and Casey Curtis

Lovely friendly welcome , gave the dogs treats so everybody was happy. Rooms were lovely and the food in the restaurant was great . Breakfast was good quality ( perhaps though a little tight on one of everything bacon , sausage etc) but wife smoked salmon and eggs was a massive portion that she could finish!!||All in all a great place and would happily visit again

Eat here!!!! Great food! Fish and chips, the boar sausage, the desserts!!!! Helen is phenomenal, great staff and great atmosphere. Comfortable beds. Nice shower, full sized toilets. Highly recommended.

Tbh I had low expectations but everything was great. Really friendly switched on staff. Food with big heart. Great atmosphere on the bar and clean modern bedroom. A part from a slightly raw tomato for breakfast I couldn't fault it. What a beautiful part of Scotland.

Great location…….However it’s very pricey for Paper thin walls and a bathroom that smells like sewage. Very really hoping it would be amazing for the cost. Very underwhelming. Much better at our last stay at the Loch Ness Lodge. We ll see how breakfast is in the morning…

Nice respite on the way to the Isle of Skye. Our tour bus stopped in for a few minutes to enjoy a dram or two and use the facilities. There's a large bar and restaurant area, though at 3 in the afternoon, it was pretty quiet. The highlight was the canine companion who sat calmly by the windows and let you snuggle away from the dreary weather as you sipped your dram. Worth a stop, especially since we were told there's not much else in the area. Apparently, it's nicely situated for some good hiking.

Our first trip to Scotland for my son's wedding and we were fortunate enough to find the Kintail Lodge Restaurant. We had a party of 9 and we made a quick reservation which was ready when we arrived. The bartenders set us up with drinks including locally sourced specialities which were amazing including " Tommy's Gin"gin and tonic which was a real winner. When the food arrived we started to eat and everyone was silent for a while and then all we could do was talk about how amazing the food was. We had the fish and chips, Caledonian steak pie, Salmon, Duck, and Venison. Every dish was prepared to Perfection ... then came desserts... rubbed tarts, pavlova with lemon curd, and berries with ice cream... we had an amazing time and are returning tomorrow night with our full wedding party of 11 to feast again! Thank you for the special evening kintail

Great selection, service, and food. 5 star experience for an excellent price. Great beer and wine selection. We chose an abundance of items and they all delivered. Food was piping hot and excellent. Pictured is the Sea Beam. Nothing short of perception. Best chips I've had in Kyle, great soup rep pepper with basil fresh & light. Quick service. The table next to us got ice cream, the portion was out of this world I was praying someone at my table would order!

Just spent 4 nights here. Great location good rooms and a very friendly, busy bar and resteraunt. Food has been good with good variation ( Soup of the day changed every day) Specials rotated abot 30% a day. Standard menu has good options - the sticky toffee pudding is particularly good. Friendly, fun staff. This is a good base to explore this area.

This is a review for the restaurant. Had a couple of lovely meals there while I was in the area. My hostess had suggested it as one of the better places close to where I was staying and I was pleased enough the first night that I returned again for dinner the following evening. My first dinner there was late and the place wasn't too full. Dinner took a little while, but it was fine. The quality of the food was very nice and the waitstaff were very polite and friendly. I was well taken care of. The second night was good as well, even though it was somewhat earlier in the evening and the place was packed. The smoked salmon starter is very tasty and I enjoyed the salmon entree the second evening. The vanilla bean sauce is really wonderful.

I recently stayed at this hotel/lodge for several nights and although the room decor is a little dated, the hotel staff is extremely nice and the view is incredible. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is very relaxed and it reminds me of a large Bed and Breakfast. Were I to visit this area again, I would definitely stay here again.
