I must admit I do find the Inver Lodge a tad poncey and I preferred the old Culag Hotel down by the harbour where it felt forever 1912. My favourite - now gone sadly - was the Tomdoun Hotel on the dead end road to Kinlochhourn. If you expected modern facilities you would be disappointed and you'd post waspish comments on Trip Advisor; but I loved it. Great food, massive measures of whisky , an eclectic clientele and whippets and labs everywhere. No poncey en suite, and the bath water was peat stained . Stunning views and total silence. Stayed there one December and recall the local keeper helping out with breakfast then suddenly disappearing with his rifle and bagging a stag a few hundred yards from the hotel.You don't get that at a Travelodge ....

Out of interest, Kylesku have just added 4 new rooms. View from balconies = fab.
If you're booking ask to be put in 'Willies Hoose' - as that's what they've named it.
I'm going to try that place next time, already booked up for this year in the light house at the top of Loch NessIf you're booking ask to be put in 'Willies Hoose' - as that's what they've named it.

They've made a great job of that. Had dinner there last October but yet to stay since the new owners have taken over. If you're booking ask to be put in 'Willies Hoose' - as that's what they've named it.

Sounds like my kind of hotels. However, I do go on road trips for the roads and this one just doesn't cut it for me which is probably why I missed seeing this hotel.
Maybe I'm just "hypercritical".
Have a look at the bigger picture, the A837 isn't bad

New restaurant is very lovely
...and they have new decking:
...and a bizarrely tame wild deer who wanders about.

Was meaning more the Lochinver to Ledmore Junction section
Did that this morning at 05:30. Not a single car seen.The pics you posted of the hotel look great, quite a transformation in a comparatively short space of time.

Terrible isn't it? Clogged with traffic, cameras everywhere and just rubbish views...
