Cairn Hotel

Nice bar and restaurant, good atmosphere, good food and beer. Room ok but could do with a little TLC though

As we sometimes do we added another day on to our holidays. This time we decided to stay here on our way to Ullapool. We could not check in until 4pm but thankfully the bar was open and we simply sat there and had a drink until we could. There is ample parking behind the hotel so you do not need to park in the main street. The hotel entrance is different from the bar entrance and whilst our son only had to go upstairs from there to get to his room, we had to go to the next again entrance to get to our double room. The room itself was on the small side but since it was ony for one night we could live with it. We had our dinner there that evening and it was very good as was breakfast in the morning which was included in the very reasonable price for all three of us staying there. I would have no problems staying here for one night, but to be honest, given the room size I would not want to stay here for more than that. There was nothing wrong with the hotel in any way and the staff were very friendly, it is just not somewhere I would plan to stay for more than one night.

Food at Cairn was fantastic from evening meal to breakfast, really good portions and first class quality. Staff from check in to restaurant & bar were great, very accommodating and helpful and nice to see cheery faces. The room was a great size, reasonably priced with all amenities, overall hotel probably needs a little updating but this did not detract from our stay. Would definitely recommend staying.
