The hype
Hikers adore the location and the hearty breakfast, but almost everyone mentions the steep price for what is essentially a refurbished pub.

以下の場合は予約してください You're a Munro-bagging hiker or Skye-bound road tripper who wants a hot curry and a cold pint in the absolute middle of nowhere.
人々が愛する理由
- Unbeatable location right at the foot of the South Glen Shiel Ridge
- Surprisingly authentic Indian cuisine alongside Scottish classics
- Resident Highland cows you can actually meet and pet
クイックテイク: A historic, remote outpost with stunning views and great food, but the thin walls mean you might hear your neighbor's entire conversation.
@scotland_sidebyside_ によるレビュー: I escaped to the Highlands for a few days and this place was pure magic. The mountain views are insane, and relaxing in the jacuzzi after a rainy hike was exactly what I needed. Plus, the bakery next door is dangerous!

Reality check
The 'rustic charm' translates to creaky floors and zero soundproofing—you will hear footsteps, voices, and plumbing from adjacent rooms.
- You plan to hike the Seven Sisters or South Glen Shiel Ridge
- You love authentic Indian food (butter chicken in the Highlands!)
- You want a photogenic stopover on the road to Skye
清潔さと保守管理
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally praised as 'spotless' and 'clean' in recent reviews.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and clean bathrooms. A viral complaint about mold from 2022 seems to be an outlier/resolved issue.
- Maintenance: Renovated recently, so fixtures are good, though the building's bones are old (creaky floors).
- Linens & towels: Fresh, good quality linens reported by most guests.
- Odors & scents: Usually fresh, though some hallways can smell of food/cleaning products.

予約前に
知っておくと良いこと
- The hotel is owned by Black Sheep Hotels (Indian ownership), which explains the excellent curry menu.
- Nearest gas station is technically on-site but often expensive; fill up in Inverness or Fort William if possible.
- Dinner reservations are recommended even for guests, as it's the only place to eat for miles.
持ち物
- Smidge (midge repellent) - absolutely essential in summer
- Earplugs - for the thin walls
- Offline maps - Google Maps will die once you lose signal
ルームジニー
おすすめ
- Highland Suite: The only room with a private in-room sauna (or Jacuzzi in the other suite)—worth the splurge.
- Mountain View Rooms: Ask for a room facing the glen for waking up to deer grazing outside.
避けるべきお部屋
- Standard Rooms near the reception/bar: Highest noise traffic.
- Ground floor rooms: You will hear every footstep from the guests above you.

FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is there cell phone service?
Virtually none. You will rely entirely on the hotel's Wi-Fi, which is generally okay but can struggle during peak usage.
How is the food?
Surprisingly good. The menu is a mix of Scottish staples (haggis, fish & chips £18) and genuine Indian dishes (butter chicken £22) which are highly rated.
Is it dog friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a fee of £25 per pet per stay. They are allowed in specific rooms and parts of the bar.
Is there a gym or pool?
No. There is a spa at their sister property (The Whispering Pine Lodge) about an hour away, but no facilities on-site at Cluanie.
Can I charge my EV?
There are no dedicated fast EV chargers listed on-site; the 'gas station' is old-school. Plan to charge in Invergarry or Kyle of Lochalsh.
What is the parking situation?
Free on-site parking for guests. Note that signs may say 'Patrons Only' to deter random hikers, but guests are guaranteed a spot.
インサイダー情報
- ✨
The 'Landour Bakehouse' across the road is part of the hotel and serves excellent cakes and pastries—great for a hiking lunch.
- ✨
You can pay £2 to enter the paddock and pet the resident Highland cows (or just watch them from the fence for free).
- ✨
The tap water is safe but may have a slight brown tint from the peat—this is natural for the Highlands.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'gas station' outside is extremely expensive—treat it as an emergency-only option.
💡The 10% service charge on food is 'discretionary' but added automatically; you have to ask to remove it.
💡Some 'Standard' rooms are quite compact; don't expect sprawling square footage unless you book a suite.
💡The Indian menu items often outshine the Scottish ones—don't be afraid to order curry in the Highlands.
💡The drive here from Inverness is stunning but deer are a major road hazard at dusk—drive carefully.
