Summer Isles Hotel

We had the most delicious meal at the summer isles hotel last night. Everything was outstanding from the service to the oysters to the wine and amazing seafood. We’re glad to have had a chance to experience the summer isles before it moves to new owners and a full refurbishment. It was a wonderful end to our trip to Achiltibuie and we’re excited to come back and see what’s next for this wonderful local institution.

We stayed here for two nights but I wish it had been more! Getting to this hotel involves a long drive down a single track road, however, this road passes some of the most incredible scenery. Once you arrive at the hotel you realise how much of a plus this remoteness is. Looking out at the summer Isles you would struggle to find a more idyllic view. The staff are a true credit to the hotel and offer you a warm welcome. The food in this place is second to none, the menu changes regularly and is some of the best food I've ever eaten. Local produce and freshly caught seafood are the stars of the menu, and we walked away both impressed and very full. With an impressive array of scotch in the bar alongside various other refreshments, you are all set for those cosy evenings by the fire. During the day, you can just pick a direction and set off on a beautiful walk. I'd thoroughly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed.

We have just spent three weeks in Achiltibuie and most nights in the Summer Isles Bar.||A very big thank you to all the staff, Ricky & Ricky, Simon, Joe and all the others we didn’t catch the names of. The service in the bar and restaurant was exemplary, especially the evening of my birthday. The staff went the extra mile to make it an unforgettable evening for myself and the family.||Thank You.

What a joy to spend a night here. Beautifully positioned with stunning views. Warmly greeted. A gorgeously kept, almost frozen in time, hotel. Tiffany Lamps and beautiful stained glass doors added to the feeling of going back in time to good, old-fashioned comfort and elegance. The food was sublime. The best dinner we had on Skye in our 2 week holiday. You feel the chef loves his job! |For a twin room we were a little squashed in one of the little lodges but the views were magnificent. Thouroughly recommend this hotel….

What a disappointing experience. The 5 star reviews for this hotel are far from reality. |Considering the room was over £400, I wouldn’t expect most of the bathroom tiles to be loose and cracked which we tripped over time and again.|Now onto dinner… £36 for the highlander beef for the ‘manager’ to not ask us how we want our fillet cooked, to forget the side dishes, to not give us steak knives and to point at us eating our dinner when another guest asks that the highlander beef is! |Then it got even messier when we tried to check out. Whoever prepared the invoices the night before got them completely wrong. Some guests had the correct amount due but the wrong name on the invoice and others had a completely wrong balance to pay. For example, we paid for our dinner on the first night so our balance should be around £250 for half the room costs and the dogs surcharge of £30. However, overnight our bill miraculously racked up to over £600 because a member of staff added someone’s else dinner onto our invoice! |The only thing holding this place together is the blonde lad, I unfortunately didn’t get his name but I believe he was the assistant manager. He was helpful, energetic and attentive throughout.|I had a quick look at the trip advisor reviews before deciding on whether to share my experience and it is evident that the owner is unwilling to open his ears to concerned guests and take on their comments on how the hotel could improve.

What a beautiful location for a fabulous hotel. All staff were super friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived to leaving early the following morning. Great atmosphere in the bar where our hungry teenagers enjoyed some of the wonderful small portion options before evening dinner. Dinner was served by a very attentive team and the food was superb - clean plates all round.|Our only regret is that we didn't leave ourselves time to enjoy the area the following day.

I don't think you can put into words the way in which this place makes you feel. The location is like something from a film set, the staff are attentive and feel like friends and the food 😍...blimey, incredible, seriously the best meal i have ever eaten. Thank you so much to Ricky and team for a wonderful time ❤️

Called for food and was not disappointed. Excellent service, prices reasonable and food very good. Wonderful view over the Summer Islands. Well worth a visit.
