Good Hotel Guide Review

Take a drive on the wild side via the North Coast 500 to this small private hotel, a former Church of Scotland manse in a ‘magical place right on the water’ overlooking Badcall Bay. Some older guests have memories of Youth Hostel stays here in the 1950s, but nostalgia for cold showers, lumpy beds and lumpier porridge melt away in the warmth of the welcome from hosts Fiona and Richard Trevor. ‘What a fantastic hotel!’ readers write. ‘Wonderful porridge.’ A complimentary cream tea is served in the conservatory. You have a choice of 60 malt whiskies in the lounge/bar. Six first-floor bedrooms have a king-size bed; four, on the ground floor, have a super-king/twin. Views are over the loch or the courtyard garden. ‘The bedrooms have had a complete make-over and have been beautifully decorated.’ ‘Miracle worker’ Trevor Williams cooks a short, nightly changing menu of dishes such as roast lamb rump with red wine jus. ‘Breakfast was also lovely.’ ‘Food and service always exceed expectations.’ ‘Our dog wants to live there (so do we).’ (James Barclay, Roger Meachem, Tina Swanson, Peter Saunders, and many others)

Comments about Eddrachilles Hotel

We stayed here half way through our NC 500 camping trip for a break. Perfect place , lovely stay. We had forgotten they offer complimentary cream tea in the afternoon so that was a lovely surprise. We had a beautiful dinner too. They are well equipped for dogs and have a lovely little garden to walk around. Breakfast was also lovely. If we find ourselves up on the North Coast again im sure we would stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay. - Laura Mynett - October 2021

Excellent visit Highly recommend Delicious dinner Staff friendly & helpful - Gilliard - September 2021

Great Hotel good food and a warm welcome - - September 2021

We have just returned from a delightful stay at Eddrachilles Hotel in north west Scotland. The hotel is set in a magnificent location with a lovely garden going down to the water's edge and views of the distant mountains. Richard and Fiona are delightful hosts who have created a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for their guests whist maintaining first class service. All the staff could not have been more helpful. The chef is a miracle worker who produced the best food we tasted in a three week holiday in Scotland. We particularly enjoyed the afternoon tea of scones and clotted cream and home made cake that was served in the conservatory. This extra was free, included in the very reasonable room price. This was a return visit and we were not disappointed. We shall certainly be returning in the not too distant future. - Bob and Gill Dean - September 2021

A most pleasant and restful stay. Room was wonderful as was the evening meal. Set in a wonderful location, perfect retreat after a tiring day - James Short - September 2021

Set in an outstanding position in extensive gardens, overlooking the beautiful north west coast of Scotland, the endless views are fantastic. This was my second visit. Richard and Fiona look after their guests well with splendid food and wines to choose from and comfortable rooms. The hotel is on the NC 500 route and is worth the drive to get there! I hope to return. - Roderick McIntosh - June 2021

It feels as if we are sharing the hosts' home; they are are always nearby. Afternoon tea is included and perfect. Room details well above the standard of most hotels. The lounge and glassed veranda have unbeatable views. Filled bookcases around the premises.The bottled beer choice is beyond criticism. I like to wander down the short garden paths to the sea. Cannot think of a criticism but must try to control food consumption next time! - Keith Stringer - June 2019

Absolutely wonderful. After a warm welcome we were shown to a delightful room. We had tea and home-made cakes in the sunshine. Dinner and breakfast were both of a high standard . We came across many extra touches which served to make this a hotel that is right up there with the best. I can’t recommend it highly enough. - Helen Wilson - May 2019

A superb position, and a wonderful retreat in stormy weather. Our very comfortable room had a view across the garden to the sea, two comfortable chairs and a desk/dressing table. Afternoon tea with home-made cakes and scones was served at no charge in the sun lounge with a wood burning stove. Before the full Scottish breakfast I particularly enjoyed porridge served with cream and Drambuie. One dinner which stood out comprised local scallops beautifully cooked. We loved the veloute soups. Richard and Fiona were hands-on, hospitable hosts. After three days of being cossetted we were sorry to leave. - Mr and Mrs Edward Knowles - September 2018

Stunning location and first-rate food and drink. An authentic taste of the best of Scottish produce at a bargain price. Our room was basically furnished but comfortable. - Robert Gower - September 2018
