Situated in the 'arse end of nowhere', The Summer Isles Hotel is somewhat of an enigma. On one hand the rooms are small, the temperature of the shower water has a mind of it's own and the cattle grid outside the room annoys the hell out of you. On the other, the drive to get there is fantastic and the... more

For our first wedding anniversary we decided on a trip up north staying in places known for fabulous food. This was the most remote place we went to, and we loved it. We were accommodated in what was the lowest tariff room in the place... and felt like we were being punished for it! The room itself was clean, comfortable... more

Spectacular location for walks (if you don't mind rain) and views. We had a room at the front - large - looking out to the water over the sheep etc. Bathroom not wonderful - problem about hot water for bath. One comes here for the food and/or the location (which is the middle of nowhere). There will be no tour... more

Didn't stay but did eat dinner at this hotel. The meal and service were as good as we had remembered...if not better. Great wine-to-food matching advice, superb five-course set meal with good veggie options and the cheese board has to be the best in the UK. Convivial atmosphere on the Friday night we dined; not at all stuffy. Take your... more

Always wanting to visit the Scottish highlands, we were recommended to the Summer Isles hotel by friends who had had lunch in the bar, this being a fantastic find at what must be the most remote hotel in Scotland. Or so we thought. Considering the first day of our holiday was rain from morning to night, it would have been... more

Having enjoyed several previous visits to this Hotel, my wife and I recently stayed here for three nights on our recent Scottish holiday, and I'm glad to say that it was just as good as ever. Lovely room(s) (we changed rooms during our stay - which we knew about when we booked), friendly service, and excellent food, and all in... more

Most of the other reviews have touched on all the essential qualities and points of this hotel and apart from the Americans from Algonquin, the reviews are accurate. The road in from Ullapool is breathtaking, gob smackingly beautiful infact, and provides much better scenery, in a much shorter distance, than the Wester Ross driving experience that is recommended in many... more

This is an amazing hotel, with superb views. We stayed in one of the log cabin rooms ( a room with no view at all) which was basic for £122 per night - it also have the hardest bed I have ever slept on , we could also hear everything in the room next door - which is I guess... more

We spent a night here in September, as part of our "gourmet" tour of the west coast of Scotland. We stayed in Williams Cottage within the hotel grounds which was "homely," cozy and adequate. The views were fantastic and the location was well worth the long and winding journey. Guests (of the carnivorous variety) were shown a no choice pre... more
