We loved the Arisaig Hotel restaurant and its friendly pub. We were a large group with two wee ones and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive to our needs. There is a good selection of food on the menu; delicious, fresh seafood is available. We highly recommend Arisaig Hotel.

This was a short break to see a beach that we have recently bought a painting of. Everything about booking in was done online and when we arrived we were met by Adam. He was very helpful and confirmed our dinner booking. BOOKING FOOD IS ESSENTIAL AS IT IS VERY BUSY. We found our room at the front overlooking the sea. it was well appointed with a settee, big wardrobe and a lovely ensuite. The room had, as all doorways encountered had, a sanitiser dispenser. We knew in advance that staff would not access our room for the three days we were there and this did not worry us. The staff cleaning vacated rooms were very willing to help. The restaurant was excellent. Usually when staying for three nights you are tired of eating off the fixed menu. This was not the case here. Adam and Lucia( hope spelling correct) were to hand and the food was excellent with a good choice and nicely presented as was their service and chat. The breakfasts were very good in a nice part of the hotel and other guests were friendly. Great to see so many visitors from other shores. All in all we had a very good time weather not great but what do you expect for the West of Scotland!!!!. If going to this area for the beaches give this hotel a twirl and on a Friday evening or a Sunday afternoon you will get local music to accompany your twirl in the bar. Jimmy and Marnie Room 8

The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and nicely presented. The staff were very efficient and really friendly. We were in a wee snug at the back which was good as we had two dogs with us but it didn't have much atmosphere and the decor was a bit dated. Luckily we were able to move to the main part of the pub afterwards and enjoy the warm ambience and great live music.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Arisaig Hotel. From check in to check out the service provided was 100%. Staff were welcoming, friendly and courteous. Bedroom really pretty with a spacious en-suite. Dinner was great and they even added a last minute guest to our group (with very little notice). Lovely ambiance in a beautiful location …. we’ll definitely be back.

I thought the whole experience very good. The IT set up is second to none and I found it easy to book a room at a reasonable price. The room was small and the ensuite smaller but both functional. I thought the message that the rose on the shower should be removed before it blew off on my head amusing - I did not have the opportunity to carry out this manouvre, I did wonder though should I have removed the rose, how would I get it on again if the shower was blasting water at me!! The staff were charming and the food both dinner and breakfast simple and wholesome without frills - fine for me. Thank you for a non issue stay in Arisaig - I will use you again sometime.

Return visit having had haddock & chips outside on terrace a few days before. This time: inside table was too near other tables (covid worries) so we (3) are crowded together around two sides. No service on outside tables. Veggie option of Spinach & mushroom lasagne was tasty but mushrooms not visible ( were they there?) Chips wonderful as before. Cull and skink great.

Lower rating on food relates to dining experience in Hotel's bar. Food was very basic "pub grub" but priced accordingly, however we ate in the bar where there were a group of "colourful" locals whose language was somewhat ripe. Breakfast was good - given the overall standard of the hotel the dining experience was well below par and thus reduced the overall rating

When we arrived at the hotel for food we were seated in a tiny room on our own and had to ask to be moved. We were told the tables in main dining area were being used but they would shuffle things around and eventually accommodated us. There were 3 tables where we were seated and one of them lay empty all night. We didn’t let this incident spoil our evening. The ambience, service and food were superb apart from the chips that accompanied the burgers (2 of us had this). The chips looked and tasted like they were cooked in dirty fat and were disgusting. We did complain and were advised that chef would be informed but never got a reply or reduction to the bill. These mishaps although small were disappointing as I had recommended the Arisaig Hotel restaurant to my friends for our evening meal whilst holidaying in the area.

Overall we had a good experience at the Arisaig hotel. Our room was small and there were a couple of minor housekeeping faults. The curtains were missing a couple of hooks and were hanging off at the edge.Luckily there was a blind to keep the light out. One of the drawers in the bedside cabinet was broken too. these are things that should have been noted when the room was being made up. Also there wasn't a bath mat in the shower room-tiled floors are very slippy when wet! One day there was a pile of dirty towels left in the foyer all day -not a nice welcome for visitors! Breakfast was traditional, but you got a mighty portion of smoked salmon with the scrambled eggs. We enjoyed the food in the Crofter's Bar. It is nice that our dog could join us everywhere. We were especially impressed with Robbie who served us food, drink and breakfast and was always very helpful and chatty. It's a nice place and with a few improvements would be a great place.

A pleasant seaside holiday hotel. The degree of IT based communication before, during and after, and the absence of staff on the hotel side, made for a somewhat impersonal experience. We have already given deservedly poor feedback about Reception, not just of itself but because of the cloud that hung over the early part of our stay as a result. First impressions count. Individual staff were pleasant but were few and hard to find. Too few to interact with customers.

Efficient table service, good menu plus specials. Staff all great. Back room lacks ambiance though, more like a waiting room. As a solo diner being in the bar would have been more enjoyable, although unfriendly regular stood at bar saying out loud, out of town strangers not welcome spoilt my night after my meal. He physically kept turning his back to me to illustrate his dislike , old guy with grey hair drinking Tennents. Surely he should welcome tourism trade as keeps the place open and people in jobs?!

The food was excellent although felt like we were being rushed to finish. No relaxing place to sit down stairs apart from the entrance hall. But the worst part was the bed in room 11. The worst nights sleep I have had in a long while, in fact that bad it felt like I was sleeping in a hammock and longed to be back in my sleeping bag and campervan. Not good. Mattress definitely needs reading. Sorry, I wanted to tell staff next morning but no one was available just a key drop.

We have been coming to the hotel for ten years plus on our annual holiday and always love our trips to the Arisaig hotel. As usual the food was excellent, however on this particular visit the service was very poor. My father who is severely disabled was left waiting to be seated for a considerable amount of time and then upon seating it took an age for the staff to bring menus and take drink orders, they were attending to tables who had been seated after us and seemed to consistently bypass our table. This is a shame as on previous visits we have never had any cause for complaint, I think a bit of training for the staff might be required.
