Monachyle Mhor Hotel

Visited with friends on a DB&B deal. Friends had been before and highly rated the establishment. Location is very picturesque. Room was comfortable; lock didn’t lock from outside with the key; tv had very confusing channel set up; room lighting could have been more flexible; would be very easy to hit your head on the glass shelf above the sink. Before dinner, went into lounge; were given drinks menu and wine list. Had to chase to place drinks order; and had to ask for menu to decide on wine choice. No one came to get second drinks order nor to take food order. We were told to place food order at table; so we went to table. Menu was limited and phrased in language I had some difficulty understanding. Portions for all courses were very small; and there seemed to be no way to add “sides” if you were hungry. Several of us including myself had the venison; it was very disappointing - chewy. The wine was good. At the end of the meal, we had to sign for wine and drinks as they were not part of the “deal”. We noticed that a gratuity of 12.5% had been added not just to what we were signing for, but the whole deal. Inappropriate timing. We were not offered coffee, but were given an unusual infusion of a sort of lemon tea. No digestivs offered. Next morning, we came down for breakfast. I asked for two poached eggs, firm yolks and crispy bacon. The bacon was incinerated and the plate had some form of grease pooling from the bacon. The egg yolks were firm but somehow they lacked flavour. The female staff were very pleasant and helpful, charming. The male staff did not seem suited to their roles.

Beautiful views of loch and mountains. Food and service outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Accommodation comfortable. Perfect for Annimal Lovers. A baby highland cow ( Donald) comes to visit after breakfast with its handler lovely lady.
