Myrtle Bank Hotel — Hotel in Great Britain

Absolutely perfect. Stopped over for a night on our drive from Ullapool to Inverness. Situated on the bay with a lovely view from the front patio. This hotel has been owned and run by the Hennesy family for 19 years. Mom and Dad plus their two sons provide the personal touch. A wonderful family-run hotel rarely found today. We stayed in a recently renovated large suite with a private patio overlooking the bay. One son provides the on-going renovation/maintenance and the other son is the head chef. And he is quite a chef. The dinner was next level. Our dinner was the best meal we had during our week stay in Scotland. The main courses were creative without being fussy. The desserts were divine. The creme brule was perfect. Wish we could have stayed for their weekly Sunday roast which I'm sure is amazing. Reserve your table in advance since the quality of the food is well known to the locals. On the morning of our departure the Mom packed us a box of homemade shortbread for our drive to Inverness. Just such a wonderful dinner and overnight stay. Many thanks to the...

I booked 7 rooms for a six night photography tour. From the first minute we were made to feel at home. A lovely, warm family style welcome put everyone at ease for the week ahead. All the rooms were spacious and immaculately clean at all times. One guest had an issue with a radiator being bled and it was fixed immediately. Another guest had a gluten free diet and was looked after perfectly. Breakfasts were varied and substantial. One guest ordered the full Scottish breakfast on the first morning and was given a feast fit for a king. The bar had an excellent selection of beers, a number of which were local and some excellent whiskies as well. We ate there every evening bar the last night (a trip out to Badachro) and the food was excellent on all occasions. I'd like to praise every member of staff for the way they welcomed my clients. Every one of them was friendly and efficient. I really can't fault the experience. A week full of smiles. Thank you. I've added a couple of photos from Gairloch and the surrounding area to show why...

Lovely situation with splendid views. Helpful friendly staff front of house. I was not a resident but booked for an evening meal on recommendation.

Good to big portions, reasonable value too, we have very nice starters, scallops and smoked salmon and would recommend them.

Unfortunately the mains were very poor hence three stars. Duck was not rendered and was very chewy, the mash had hard lumps. The fish and chips, the cod was lovely but batter was disappointingly soggy and the chips were clearly frozen which is understandable given the remote location (we originate from the outer hebrides so appreciate the difficulties of supply), but they were also very soggy. The pea puree however was fabulous. We should have raised this after the first mouthful but persevered and didn't want to cause a fuss. More the fool us. We will know next time.

In short, the experience was disappointing for the food but there was a very good choice so perhaps...
