Ardeonaig Hotel & Restaurant

First evening was nice. The hotel had been advised that my husband was diabetic and provided extra veg instead of potatoes. The next evening again was nice however there was a very limited menu. It appeared if you stayed more than 3 nights you would be repeating your choice of food as the menu did not seem to change. The food was lovely but a wider choice would have been appreciated.

Very disappointing stay – not as described

We stayed at Ardeonaig Hotel & Restaurant from 24–26 December 2025. On arrival on Christmas Eve, our lodge had been double booked, with another couple already inside, causing significant stress and disruption to our Christmas plans.

There was no Wi-Fi, the lodge was unclean (long black hair in the bathroom and bed), and there was visible mould on the bathroom walls and ceiling. The bathroom door handle was broken, making it unsafe to close. Despite raising these issues, no offer was made to move us to another lodge.

We were later offered a £50 discount on a future stay, despite the booking being non-refundable even when cancelling two weeks in advance, which felt inappropriate given the circumstances.

Overall, the accommodation and service were not as described, and the stay was very disappointing.

Zero

The room was very dated

The property is a bit tricky to get to - along a challenging single track road. But this is also a positive unless you plan to use this property as a touring base.
Our breakfast was over-cooked and gave the impression of having been kept hot too long or reheated

Limited hot food for breakfast.
We had to wait for check in not helped by being late in the season. They did ring ahead but some confusion on times but we got there in the end and they were helpful

Nothing not to like, but perhaps a positive suggestion for additional signage in the reception area for clearer directions down to the lower bar area would be helpful for guest orientation.

No hairdryer in room

Nothing really, the only thing I would highlight is that our room was really hot at night even with the window open and I think what contributed to that was that the towel radiator in the bathroom could not be turned off so even in July was giving out heat. It's an old building so the walls are thick and I guess that also holds the heat. Be aware that your room doesn't get cleaned every day and you don'tget fresh towels daily, which wasn't an issue for us as we were only there a couple of days but might be for some.

The reception areas and lounges need some work! They’re odd - some feel unfinished or not in use! It was all rather confusing - a reception desk in the middle of nowhere with a sign to reception that takes you to toilets! (Just to name a few oddities)! The most bizarre part and one which was a constant source of a good giggle for us was the staff situation! There was one person, dripping with sweat, checking people in, showing them to their rooms, serving at the bar and the restaurant - it was insane (all done might I add with a very big welcoming smile on his face). The next morning, the Spanish man who we had serving us at breakfast (an absolute character), was knocking on our door calling out ‘house-keeping’! I’ve seen complaints about this but for us it was quirky and at times made us feel like we were on a sitcom!
