Monachyle Mhor Hotel

First visit, much to like, but room for improvement. Location excellent Staff Excellent Breakfast Excellent Dinner very good (food and service). Room for improvement? Little or no ambience in dining room (in conservatory) not helped by babies and dogs. Would expect something more akin to The Peat Inn or Prestonfield at similar price point. Plumbing,heating, lighting in room. Often an issue in old Scottish properties, solved by investment and thoughtful design. We had several problems, and judging by the reviews issues with hot water are not new. Bearable since we were on an Itison deal, poor value if not.

Beautiful views of loch and mountains. Food and service outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Accommodation comfortable. Perfect for Annimal Lovers. A baby highland cow ( Donald) comes to visit after breakfast with its handler lovely lady.

We took friends to celebrate their 60th birthdays and had the best of times from start to finish. Drinks in a cosy living room followed by a lovely dinner where the six of us were sat in a separate area from the other guests, at our request, to let our hair down a little. At all times the staff, from reception to the dining room, were excellent and went out of their way to ensure our stay was a happy stay…..they succeeded. Our room was super clean and comfortable with nice smelling hand and body wash etc. The grounds of the hotel are very interesting and we enjoyed games on the lawn outside as well as a lovely walk in beautiful countryside. Can’t recommend this place enough

What can we say? What a fabulous experience. Thank you to all the staff. Leanora , Brandon, Morne, the young Hungarian waitress (sorry we didn’t get her name). Location,food ,cleanliness friendliness…it has it all. The staff were super knowledgeable about every aspect of hospitality and it showed. Fresh fresh food beautifully presented and delicious , paired with exceptional wines. I’ve never seen a bathroom with two baths before! Simply stunning. Impossible to describe properly. Must be experienced. For us, the best hospitality experience in Scotland ( coming from people who live in Scotland ) bar none

If you want a place that gives you a change of scenery, this is the right place. Let us start with the only black spot : The 6 or 7 miles to go to the hotel is a one way road with cars in both ways, with a driving on the left side (very difficult for us). So, as often in Scotland, you do not reason in terms of km / miles but in term of time. Long long time to get there. There are parking areas here and there to allow cars to stop when someone is coming towards you. But when you are there, a great pleasure. The place is charming, the old building with the terrace has an unique charm. the room we had was very nice although the bathroom was very tiny (due to the building itself). You can also book little houses. The landscape we saw from our room or the restaurant was absolutely beautiful : two lochs, mountain, colors.... Do not hesitate to explore the surroundings. Staff is very nice especially the owners (father and son). In the restaurant, you will encounter many nationality and character. The is a great chance that a waiter or waitress will speak your language. The service is of good quality without being too affected. Finally the food is of good quality, very good chef, and the daily special changes every day.

We hadn’t heard of this gem before we were given a gift voucher - and I’m so glad we were able to! We stopped at the Mhor bakery on the way - definitely a good idea! It is quite a long single track road to the hotel but the scenery is amazing! When we pulled up, we weren’t quite sure what to expect - there’s definitely a charm to it! The grounds aren’t polished & landscaped but to be honest, it makes it feel really homely & authentic. Our check in was lovely, can’t remember the chaps name, but he was South African & super friendly! Our room was massive and very comfortable - we stayed in a courtyard room. The weather was your classic Scottish summer - aka rain - but the surrounding scenery was just breathtaking, even in the rain! We put our waterproofs on and went for a walk through the field, saw some cute farm animals! When we went back to the hotel, we sat and watched the rain out the window - bliss! We asked about the menu for the nights dinner about 5pm - the food is so fresh that the menu still hadn’t been finalised! We didn’t have to worry because it was delicious! Great service & the food was amazing. We sat in the bar and chatted to some other guests, with the staff attentive and friendly. The only slight let down was the breakfast. The sausages felt a wee bit greasy and while the bacon was beautifully presented, it definitely could have been crispier. But the pre breakfast scone was a winner. Really enjoyable and relaxing experience! Would recommend to anymore looking for an escape to the beautiful Scottish countryside who enjoys good food & wine!
