It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide. The editors and inspectors do not accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels. All hotels in the Guide receive a free basic listing. A fee is charged for a full web entry.

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'Miles of single-track road' lead to this remote hotel with 'a breathtaking vista of the Summer Isles and the distant mountains of Wester Ross'. Bedrooms, some in an eco log cabin, have their own style. Our inspectors' room was 'simply furnished and warm, with a most comfortable bed', a 'clean, spacious' bathroom. Garvie suite, and Ben Mor in the boathouse, have a sitting room with exposed stone walls and a log-burner. At night, 'a meal to savour' included 'cullen skink with generous quantities of beautifully smoked fish, pink venison, Hebridean cheeses in peak condition'. Breakfast was not up to the same standard, although yoghurt and compôte won praise. 'The welcome and service from manager Alex were genial and engaging.'
