A ravishingly romantic escape with designer rooms and suites, each unique, overlooking Lochinver Bay. The panelled conservatory lounge has a terrace with seats outside overlooking the garden. Books, flowers, interesting objets galore. There's a snug sitting room with open fire where we’ve enjoyed surprise oysters before dinner. Finest food is at the heart here and the Michelin star-winning dining room serves superb, beautifully wise dinners in a handsome candlelit space with an air of rugged rusticity to its elegant, formal qualities: stone and wood floors, rich tones, carved seating, arched windows. Grand breakfast served on local Highland Stoneware. Overlooking it all, the mountains Canisp and Suilven. Quite simply, one of Scotland's best.
Need to know
> Ring to discuss bedroom options before booking as each room / suite is very different
> The Byre suite is the largest, most private; has small conservatory, terrace, outdoor hot tub
> The Penthouse is a beautiful space on top floor (steep stair); The Loft is new and gorgeous
> Here’s the accommodation information page on the hotel’s own website
> Dinner is from a set menu so discuss in advance; they’re happy to make changes
> And here's a link to a typical (and typically exciting) dinner menu
> Don’t miss: the superb fish and seafood freshly sourced from this wild Assynt coastline
> Wi-fi is free to guests – it’s not available in all rooms but easily in the conservatory
> The Albannach's own website is a bit ropey and undersells the quality of the place
> Parking is easy, simply unload at the door and later park by the garden gate
Love it…
...The food, which is of the first order, is wildly fresh, original and yet restrained, balanced
...Views: the area is magnificent and where better to come at the end of the day than here?
...The choice of suites and rooms: each very different. Try them all! But hot tub here is super cool
...The Loft suite is newest and not only has terrific views but its own secluded deck area
...Colin and Lesley, though very busy cooking, are gifted - and passionate about what they do
