The food was fabulous and staff incredibly accommodating and sweet! Very helpful and available although we got in late! We were made a Huge lovely box breakfast because we had to leave before breakfast to catch a ferry!

The Mingarry is a “boutique hotel” of 8 rooms where the host, Emma, gives personal service. The entire hotel: entry, room, restaurant, is beautifully decorated. At the entry, there’s a little bookcase gift shop of postcards, journals and other locally-themed and locally-made items. We stayed in the Mingarry Room. The living room area was huge with a large sofa, coffee table and desk and a tiny balcony that felt very safe. A little table and two chairs were provided and the balcony offered a great view of the highlands and the surrounding fields. Not a dramatic view but a quiet and calm one. The bedroom included nightstands, another desk, and a little bench to sit on to enjoy the view from the window. Skylight in the bathroom which was really nice to let light in but keep the bathroom private. The bathrobes were huge fluffy, so luxurious! The bed was so soft and we slept really well. The living room included a Nespresso machine and tea kettle with teas, instant coffee and cocoa, biscuits. There was also a small fridge with mini-bar with free waters along with liquors and luxury snack items for a fee. Behind the hotel is a lovely grassy field, ponds and farm ducks. In the field were three, clear geodomes to relax in style! Each “pod” kept the cold and the bugs out. Inside each pod is a heater, love seat and lounge chairs that can seat 4, a coffee table and lights. Mimosas on arrival (can’t beat that!) and Emma will also deliver snacks, desserts or libations. The attached restaurant—hands down, the best food of our trip! Their Cullen Skink is to die for! The menu changes frequently according to the availability of local produce. There are few tables and there are few restaurants in the area so having a reservation is a good idea. The restaurant includes a bar with a good selection of local whiskies and gins. There was plenty of parking. A car is needed to get here and to the area attractions. Most of the roads are single lane but the drive is worth it!

Quiet and comfortable. Good food, they have the best clam chowder anywhere.

The hosts were welcoming and the food was amazing! Everything was home cooked and baked, of the area and in season. Fabulous. The hiking trails leaving from the hotel were great and the train station very close. Loch Shiel is so beautiful. Staying here allows you to see the viaduct and loch when there are few tourists.

Loved the quiet location, the decor, the staff.

Everything. Super nice staff and beautiful accommodations.

Good location.

Location. Friendly efficient staff. Restaurant.

This B&B offers fabulous views of the water as well as dinner and breakfast. We arrived after dark, but it was still easy to find; it was so late, the restaurant kitchen was about to close, but they accommodated us, and we had a wonderful, hot dinner. The dining room was cozy and warm, a wonderful place to come home to on a chilly, blustery night. We would recommend this place.

Absolutely beautiful place with equally beautiful views. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
