Top Aultbea Hotel Reviews

Highland Rooms - Room Only No Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great guest house. We had a lovely view overlooking some of the harbour. Walking distance into town which is great. AJ met us with a beautiful smile and laughter in her talking. How could you not respond in smile! The bed was extremely comfortable. Has a refrigerator yay!!! Coffee pod machine Yay! Television could be updated, sound quality was poor. The pre check in instructions could be reworked we found them confusing and a little abrupt. This made us feel that the hospitality would be unsettling. It wasn't of course when AJ greeted us with warmth. All the very best AJ and Luke with your young family."
