“The Pillar Mountain was fab”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Polcraig Guest house was an excellent choice for me, the owners have thought of most of the irritations which can plague you when you select a place to stay, you know like the shower not being quit right, the breakfast being a bit of a poor effort, the bed not being comfortable, hearing the people next door etc etc. Well have no fear, not here with these guys all is much better than expected. Check it out.

Room Tip: Ask Cathel if he can give you a lift to your start point for that huge first day walk, dont tell him...

“Best breakfast I've had in Scotland, lovely people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband I stayed here for one night in April 2011. We liked it so much we went back for another night on our way back through. Great location in the middle of town (although close enough to nature that my husband encountered a female deer in the car park at about midnight). The hosts are lovely - and extremely knowledgeable about this wonderful area - especially if you're interested in fishing or hiking around Stac Polly or Suilven. The room was immaculate as was the bathroom, with nice shower gel, fluffy white towels etc and a tv in the room. But the best bit was the superb breakfast. The usual full Scottish was enhanced by optional extras of either a generous portion of the excellent local black pudding or a delicious piece of salmon. I think there was another option (might have been a kipper?) which I would be keen to try next time. We would happily go back. If you're in Lochinver, dont miss the wonderful pie shop (perfect hiking snacks). Handily, the local butcher can not only supply great meat and sausages but also disposable barbecues, burger buns, barbecue sauces, fresh milk, plus fresh fish to order.

“12 Years in a Row”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2011

person found this review helpful

My two friends and I have stayed at Polcraig for 5 days each June for the past 12 years and can recommend this guest house as one of the best. As indicated in other reviews the Polcraig breakfast is renowned - as well the 'full Scottish' the choice could be the smoked haddock of even the Scottish salmon fillet. This will set you up for all activities during the day. The accommodation is first class the rooms are a good size with tea and coffee facilities provided. Hair driers are also provided as well as toiletries. Cathel and Jean the owners have a vast knowledge of the local area and can advise on hill walking, birds etc and our reason for being at Polcraig the vast amount of fishing in the area. Cathel has vast experience in fishing in the area and is pleased to help in the selection of loch, river fishing and most importantly what flies to be used.
In the Lochinver area - looking for accommodation? Try Polcaig first.

“Excellent hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011

I have stayed at Polcraig regularly for the passed 5 years and have always had excellent treatment. The rooms are extremely comfortable, and the breakfasts outstanding (setting me up for a day of hill-walking etc.). The availability of internet in the rooms just introduced has provided extra icing on an excellent cake. Furthermore the owners are extremely helpful in advising on actvities/excursions and warning about potential hazards for those wishing to explore the wilderness areas in this part of Scotland.
I can recommend this accomodation to anyone without any hesitation.

Room Tip: Each of the rooms that I have used has been excelt
