Monachyle Mhor Hotel

One of the best and most unusual places to stay in the Highlands. Well worth the long drive from the main road. Particularly special if you enjoy gourmet food and don't need to eat "traditional" Scottish food. Everything is seasonal and unique to Monachyle Mhor. Owner Tom Lewis is a treat and Betty is such a friendly dog. We love suite 15.

Great people, great hotel, great food, in an amazing setting. we've been a few times. each time has been a special experience. ideally situated for a relaxing break far from the madding crowds or for bagging a few of the munros right on the doorstep.

Didn't stay in the hotel, but attended for an athletics event held on site. The location is stunning, the view superb. The event utilised the catering and halls from the hotel and these were second to none. The drive there featured what feels like the longest single track road on the planet (5 miles!) but that isn't really something you could complain about being as the charm of the aforementioned stunning view and location is the fact that it is so far removed from everything else. Highly recommended and somewhere I'll definitely be looking at staying myself

Monachyle Mhor is a wee gem of a place. It's set in an amazing location surrounded by Scotland's natural beauty - green hills, lochs and wildlife. Our family just love visiting here. We are always greeted with a warm welcome from the staff. We've stayed in 3 different rooms and all of them were different from each other but all have the same stylish charm.
We usually start our stay with a drink in the bar next to the log fire then a walk in the countryside to breathe in the fresh air. We always feel so relaxed when we stay here. The food is really fantastic - for both dinner & breakfast. We normally go into Calendar for lunch. Mhor Bread & Mhor Fish in Calendar are also worth a visit. Can't wait for our next stay.

A fantastic restaurant in a stunning location. Having eaten here on average twice a year for the last 8 years, I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal.
My wife and I holiday in the area once or twice a year and we always make a point of eating at the restaurant and always look forward to the experience.
The food is locally sourced and as fresh as can be, while the service is impeccable, attentive without being pushy.
The lunch menu is incredibly good value at £30 a head for a 3 course meal without drinks and leaves you feeling nicely satisfied. There are also great value options on the wine list, but if you are feeling flush then the wine cellar is extensive and can damage even the fullest wallet. The evening meal is even better, with an avalanche of delectable courses and fizzing, lively atmosphere.
The restaurants setting is amazing with some of the finest views in the Scottish Highlands, being situated at the end of a beautiful loch down a deep and picturesque glen.
Casual during the day with walkers stopping in for tea, cake and sandwiches. Dog and children friendly. The evenings are definitely a more formal and glittering affair with out being in any way stuffy. It does get very busy, especially during peak season and at weekends any time of year. Booking ahead is a must.

Stunning location and beautiful building. Waitress was a bit rude otherwise nice afternoon tea after hiking.

We were visiting the lochs and it was raining heavily. So to warm up we went into the hotel. What we found was a room that looked like your aunts living room. Fireplace, music from vinyls and comfy chairs. The coffee was good, the tea was even better. The scones weren't to great, sadly. The prices are a bit upscaled and the staff is mostly nice. One was a little rude, but we didn't interact too much with her. It really is a place to enjoy, especially on a rainy day.

Absolutely lovely place, and ultra friendly staff. We felt at home, not in a hotel at all. Because it's small, you also feel at ease with the other customers. I recommend cuddling up with their dogs in the lounge in front of a roaring fire.
