A short walk from the house we were staying in. Bar opens at 4pm with food from 5pm. It's a good idea to book a table so they know you are coming. There's a pool table and dart board in the bar plus a selection of board games. Serving local beers and delicious local produce. Cosy when the fire is roaring and great views too.
Went to the loch shiel hotel for lunch about 12:00 on Aug 21. The bar door was open so we all went in and I looked for a member of staff. The woman I encountered was extremely rude and aggressive and ordered me to get out as the bar was closed. She became more and more angry when I explained that my wife was in the toilet. At one point I thought she was going to attack me. Absolutely awful experience. My wife and I were shaking with fear afterwards. I will never go there again and neither should you. UPDATE 18 Sep 2023 Back home in the US and haven’t heard a peep from the hotel management about the shocking behavior of the staff member. I guess that says a lot about their attitude toward their customers.
Our last night staying at The Salen Hotel, we decided to have our evening meal at the Loch Shiel Hotel. Oh boy, what a meal, I had their langoustine platter and Haggis as a starter. It was absolutely gorgeous. If you have a dog, no problem, our 5 month old puppy was welcomed with treats they keep behind the bar.
Lovely rooms with magnificent views over the lake. Really friendly staff and service. Dog-friendly. Excellent food in the main restaurant or bar. Breakfasts fit for a king. Fab location for anyone wanting to explore this beautiful unspoilt area.
Two-night stay. The rooms are very comfortable, and the staff are welcoming and friendly. (The hotel is showing its age and could do with a spring clean but is nevertheless a lovely place to stay). Bar and restaurant are open to the public so sometimes you may have to wait for your food, but it's worth it! (Prices on the menu are reasonable and cheaper than some other local restaurants, with plenty of courses to choose from). Situated in a beautifully secluded and peaceful area in Acharacle. (Unfortunately, the ferry is no longer available from Curran, so you have to get to it via Fort William which can add 30 to 40 minutes to your journey). The surrounding area is stunning but be careful when driving as the roads can be single-lane and narrow (but plenty of passing places). Highly recommended if you want to get away from it all! Places of interest include Silver Sands of Morar(a must-see) and Mallaig to the north and Kilchoan/Ardnamurchan along the southern coast. (12th century Church off-road at Kilchoan which requires a short walk).
