Shieldaig Lodge, Gairloch

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shieldaig. A former Victorian hunting lodge, the Shieldaig is a fine building in a wonderful setting right on the waters of Loch Gairloch. The place has a traditional feel, both in its decoration and in its service, which was no bad thing. Staff are extremely polite and well-turned out with in formal attire and the place has a fair few antiques (though it could always do with more), a traditional snooker and pool room, a bar and a traditional dining room. It was here, that we enjoyed the best that the S...

Beautifully restored hunting lodge. Spacious rooms featuring traditional style, elegant furniture. Our room overlooked Loch Gairloch. Dining was elegant, traditional and creative, overall outstanding cuisine. Incredible selection of Scotch whiskey and beautiful lounge to sit, chat with other guests, and enjoy the ambience. The summit of our experience in the Highlands. We stayed there only one night, but will return. Lots to do at the Lodge's estate and environs.

Having stayed here previously in the summer we were pleasantly surprised that when we decided to take a last minute Hogmanay break that there was availability. Initially we had some reservations about spending our New Year's Eve with a group of 6 other couples who we didn't know but these fears were soon put to rest. Ismet the manager and his team try hard to make you feel your enjoying a personal house party in a very beautiful part of Scotland, coupled with lovely food and a relaxed atmosphere. We wished we could have stayed longer as the wea...

Shieldaig Lodge is fantastic....relaxing, comfortable, friendly, great food and service....Thanks to Ismet and his ‘Team'. We also had beautiful weather which allowed us to have a lovely walk to the Fairy Lochs and Crash Bomber sight which was very moving. This was our 2nd visit to Shieldaig Lodge and we enjoyed it even more than our 1st visit, so we booked a 3rd visit before leaving. ????

A fabulous charming period hunting lodge. From the moment you step inside you feel at home in this splendid accommodation. The staff are so helpful and don't hesitate to meet your needs. The lodge bar has an amazing selection of whisky and gin, or a cuppa if you wish. The quiet library and lounge, with roaring fire, offer tranquil escape with amazing views over the Loch and comfortable stylish decor. The pool room offers a full size billiards table for a relaxing afternoon of snooker or billiards. Easy to while away the hours. Our room was the...

We've just returned from a wonderful weekend break at this hotel. The location is stunning with beautiful sea views with an abundance of wildlife to see. The hotel is very comfy with beautiful furniture/decor. The staff were very attentive and the food first class. We cannot fault this hotel in any way and will hopefully return some day. Thank you

We've just got home from our fourth visit to Shieldaig Lodge in the last year. As always it was a perfect break in the most beautiful surroundings. Having first discovered the hotel by accident last March we keep getting drawn back by its myriad charms. The staff are amazing. Each and every one we meet looks after us so well, from Ismet the general manager to the young waiting staff and Sandra the housekeeper. The view from the front is captivating, and there are few pleasures in life greater than sitting in the lounge enjoying a G&T while wa...

My wife and I had the great fortune of staying at the Shieldaig Lodge in the summer of 2017. We found the lodge on the internet and took a chance. It is an old hunting lodge of the Shieldaig estate (Gairloch) that is located on the foot of an ocean Loch. It is in fantastic condition and located in A highland area that has much to offer. Gairloch and Poolewe have great small village charm and real Scots live there. We attended a caleigh in Poole that was a lifetime memory with the music, dancing, tea and cakes. Such warm and welcoming people. Al...

We stayed over the Christmas period - 4 nights. Our trip North was good, even on the single track road nearer the Lodge. Amazing scenery. On arriving at the Hotel we immediately felt in a Christmas mood - Christmas tree in the hall, "Santa stop her" sign on the door and the very majestic staircase decorated in lights, baubles and holly - as indeed was the rest of the Lodge. Tastefully done. Cosy and warm. We were with 2 friends and we had booked rooms with a loch view - wonderful views of lawn, down to the sea and the herons, seals an...
