The Airds Hotel and Restaurant

Beautiful location. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. We slept well - comfortable bed. Enjoyed the log fire in the lounge. Food was very good. We had an evening meal and breakfast. Really enjoyed the porridge. Will certainly stay there again if in the area.

We were two couples. Scottish & Canadian. Loved Airds. We had a ground floor bedroom, very spacious with a bathroom that looked brand new. Robes, toiletries, kettle etc. My Canadian cousin & her husband had an upstairs room with a surprise…a balcony. They thought it was fabulous. Very good value with breakfast included. We had dinner at Airds; excellent food & wine with super service from Jasmine who was simply lovely. Highly recommend. We’ll very likely return.

We stayed for one night in Airds on a long cycle tour down the west coast. The staff were very welcoming and found space inside the hotel to store our bikes. The room was clean and comfortable, at the top of the hotel, with amazing views across the loch. The ensuite shower and bath was well appointed with clean towels, soap and shampoo. We ate in the restaurant, and had notified that we were vegan. The chef had prepared an entire menu with a selection of starters, mains and desserts. The food was beautifully presented, and tasted delicious. Breakfast in the morning was equally exceptional. We enjoyed our stay here.

I just came home from a two week trip to Scotland, touring the country. The Airds hotel was one of my favorite hotels we stayed in. I am looking at the bad reviews, and I guess it all just comes down to expectations. I knew we were staying in an old building (hence, the creaking floors), with a limited number of rooms (hence, the small number of staff on board). We did receive a call earlier in the day letting us know their dining room was going to be closed that day. Thanks for the heads up and we found a different place to eat. No big deal. The hotel was clean, our room was so charming and the view out of our window was amazing. True, we were assigned one of the few rooms that have a view of the loch. They have a big lawn area, that if you have the time, you can play a game of croquet. It is just a charming, quaint place. The staff was friendly and breakfast was good. I don't drink coffee so the coffee machines in hotels never do me any good, but they had hot chocolate packets available as well. I would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Charming hotel with the most amazing staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The food in the hotel was fabulous and we had the best fish and chips we have ever tasted
