Monachyle Mhor Hotel

Visited with friends on a DB&B deal. Friends had been before and highly rated the establishment. Location is very picturesque. Room was comfortable; lock didn’t lock from outside with the key; tv had very confusing channel set up; room lighting could have been more flexible; would be very easy to hit your head on the glass shelf above the sink. Before dinner, went into lounge; were given drinks menu and wine list. Had to chase to place drinks order; and had to ask for menu to decide on wine choice. No one came to get second drinks order nor to take food order. We were told to place food order at table; so we went to table. Menu was limited and phrased in language I had some difficulty understanding. Portions for all courses were very small; and there seemed to be no way to add “sides” if you were hungry. Several of us including myself had the venison; it was very disappointing - chewy. The wine was good. At the end of the meal, we had to sign for wine and drinks as they were not part of the “deal”. We noticed that a gratuity of 12.5% had been added not just to what we were signing for, but the whole deal. Inappropriate timing. We were not offered coffee, but were given an unusual infusion of a sort of lemon tea. No digestivs offered. Next morning, we came down for breakfast. I asked for two poached eggs, firm yolks and crispy bacon. The bacon was incinerated and the plate had some form of grease pooling from the bacon. The egg yolks were firm but somehow they lacked flavour. The female staff were very pleasant and helpful, charming. The male staff did not seem suited to their roles.

The hotel is in an amazing location. We were there for the Wine Safari and overnight stay - a Christmas Present from our family. The safari was so much fun and well thought out! The musician playing at all the stops magical. Plenty of wine ( and food) tasted. Tom made the event a lot of fun. Lunch at the barn afterwards was also amazing. The food lovely and well paired with the wines we were served. A great opportunity to meet and chat with new people. Our room was possibly one of the nicest I have stayed in- eclectic decoration , clean and everything thought of. We definitely return for the safari and/or an overnight stay

First visit, much to like, but room for improvement. Location excellent Staff Excellent Breakfast Excellent Dinner very good (food and service). Room for improvement? Little or no ambience in dining room (in conservatory) not helped by babies and dogs. Would expect something more akin to The Peat Inn or Prestonfield at similar price point. Plumbing,heating, lighting in room. Often an issue in old Scottish properties, solved by investment and thoughtful design. We had several problems, and judging by the reviews issues with hot water are not new. Bearable since we were on an Itison deal, poor value if not.

Beautiful views of loch and mountains. Food and service outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Accommodation comfortable. Perfect for Annimal Lovers. A baby highland cow ( Donald) comes to visit after breakfast with its handler lovely lady.

We took friends to celebrate their 60th birthdays and had the best of times from start to finish. Drinks in a cosy living room followed by a lovely dinner where the six of us were sat in a separate area from the other guests, at our request, to let our hair down a little. At all times the staff, from reception to the dining room, were excellent and went out of their way to ensure our stay was a happy stay…..they succeeded. Our room was super clean and comfortable with nice smelling hand and body wash etc. The grounds of the hotel are very interesting and we enjoyed games on the lawn outside as well as a lovely walk in beautiful countryside. Can’t recommend this place enough

What can we say? What a fabulous experience. Thank you to all the staff. Leanora , Brandon, Morne, the young Hungarian waitress (sorry we didn’t get her name). Location,food ,cleanliness friendliness…it has it all. The staff were super knowledgeable about every aspect of hospitality and it showed. Fresh fresh food beautifully presented and delicious , paired with exceptional wines. I’ve never seen a bathroom with two baths before! Simply stunning. Impossible to describe properly. Must be experienced. For us, the best hospitality experience in Scotland ( coming from people who live in Scotland ) bar none
