Ledgowan Lodge Hotel

An impressive lodge at Achnasheen offering full facilities and even the sight of deer in the grounds. The hotel was a welcome sight after the drive from Ullapool via the Bealach na Ba (Pass of the Cattle) which winds up to 2054 feet – in cloud in our case - and is the steepest pass in the UK. The manager was most welcoming and we happily mingled at dinner with guests from Jersey, Australia and the USA. Breakfast was extensive and, after an excellent night's rest in a stylish en-suite bedroom, we were well set to continue our journey home via Inveraray.

My father in-law and I stayed here as a stop off on the NC500. Wow, what a gem of a place. The building is a former hunting lodge. The entrance is grand with a large wooden staircase and hunting trophies on the wall, this theme continues around the hotel. We stayed in a twin room. The room had high ceilings and two very comfortable twin beds. The room was clean and very quiet. The bathroom was nicely finished and even had a jacuzzi bath, which was great for a soak after a long day driving. The lodge was without a chef when we stayed, therefore the menu was limited. However, we both had pies and chips with veg and the food was cooked nicely and delicious. We also had two lovely deserts. I have to say, although limited, the food was very good and hit the spot. Breakfast was also really good. There were cereals and continental options as well as cooked. We had cooked and it was delicious. The bar is well stocked and has a large selection of whiskies. The customer service was fantastic. The proprietor was very friendly and we had a long chat when he served us in the bar. Nothing was too much trouble. Something that is sorely missing in many places today. Overall a gem of a hotel and not to be missed, with a warm and friendly welcome. Would definitely stay again if I am back in that area.

The property is GORGEOUS! Rooms are super clean and comfy with tall working windows, chandeliers, and great shower pressure - my favorite things. The night after we checked out, we ended up STRANDED in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire. The proprietor at the property helped to get us back to safety and gave us a family suite to recover. Really, really nice people here. We are definitely coming back! PS - breakfast is delicious.

It was great to be back at Ledgowan after some years. To me, it's a very special Highland place and I hope to be back soon!

Ledgowan feels like home…friendly staff, charmingly appointed rooms, and a warm welcome. Showers tend to run slow and wifi signal is weak but that really didn’t matter when you felt so relaxed you didn’t want to leave! AND to see the Northern Lights from the end of the driveway! Epic! A really memorable stay! Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

We were just driving past the lodge and dropped in on the odd chance that we might get a cup of tea. What a surprise! The atmosphere is authentic, the service professional and friendly and the morning tea delicious.

Even though the Restaurant was closed Craig was really good and made our stay memorable with us celebrating the engagement of our son and fiancé. While the food was limited it was more than adequate. Beds were a little tired but in general the hotel was clean and pleasant to be in. We had a nice stay at the hotel and if in the area may return at some point.

Hotel was a very clean ex-hunting lodge with all the grandeur of high ceilings, chandeliers and big rooms. The only issue on the one night we stayed was that their chef had left - but we were advised beforehand and decided to have the only items offered - steak pie and grilled fish. Both were excellent.
