We have just returned from another stay at Kinloch Lodge and it was better than ever. We stayed in one of the brand new superior suites (room 2) and it was superb. It was beautifully decorated and the bathroom was exquisite with a luxurious bath and separate shower. We noticed lots of improvements around the hotel which are sure signs... More

This is our 3rd visit to Kinloch Lodge in five years and it just gets better. The rooms we had in the newly refurbished south lodge were beautiful, with the biggest bathroom and best views over the loch. Marcello's menus were genuinely inspiring and the service was flawless from a family led team of super friendly and helpful staff. Can't... More

We were accompanied by my daughter-in-law, Kate and grandsons Eachan and Seoras. We looked forward to what was anticipated as a special experience and we were not disappointed. The... More

We visited Kinloch per our good friend's recommendation. It took us quite a drive to get to Kinloch; however, it was worth the visit. The grounds are beautiful; food is to die for. AMAZING. The bathroom wasn't as modern as we expected; but quite nice nonetheless.

We have been visiting Kinloch Lodge periodically for 15 years and have never been disappointed. The friendly welcome from Isabella, Tom and their team is wonderful at the end of a long days drive. The food is better than ever....the perfect retreat to recharge your batteries.

Another super visit to Kinloch Lodge, service excellent as was the food. Canapes before dinner so tasty. My only comment and I note comment and not complaint is, some fresh fruit choices on the breakfast menu would be appreciated.

We recently stayed in the newly redecorated rooms. The whole stay was simply amazing. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly it was refreshing to come across people who were genuinely interested in your time on the island. The food in the restaurant was incredible and well worth the trip. We can't wait to go back. Would... More

We had a wonderful 2 nights here in March. The food was amazing, I loved the tranquility of the setting and the warmth of all the staff at the hotel. The pre dinner drinks in the lounge were very relaxing and the staff so attentive. I hope to come back and sample more of the beautifully prepared food. I loved... More
