What a surprise!

David & Geraldine met the Darntons earlier this month, who were their first guests at the Kinlochbervie Hotel, all those years ago & who also visited several times at The Torridon...maybe they will make it to The Lovat soon!

5 years on...

David & Geraldine accepted some lovely gifts from the staff as the Lovat hit its 5 year anniversary.

The Lovat team surprised them both, expressing their dedication & commitment to the continued success of the business.

Thanks go to all those involved, in particular Lesley (Head Housekeeper) who had a large role to play in pulling all the efforts together.

Both David & Geraldine were thrilled with the attention that means so much & makes us all remember where we have come from, where we are now & where we aim to be.

Eating & Drinking Guide 2010

Is it wrong to start a review with ice-cream? If so, special rules must be invoked: the home-made ice-cream at The Lovat deserves headline status, with dreams made of a scoop of the lemon crème fraiche.

The restaurant for The Lovat Hotel is a little bit different. There’s a girlie, 'SATC' hint to the décor that’s a surprise in the Highlands, but it's sufficiently funky not to scare your boyfriend off. As oft-claimed as it is, a number of ingredients here do come from near rather than far: Lochaber salmon and venison, West Coast mussels, Stornoway black pudding . . . these are served with an inclusive vibe that aims to please everyone.

The dairy-intolerant aren’t excluded from the ice-cream experience with a home-made soya version available, along with gluten-free options. The slight quirkines of the décor extends to the food: original touches such as a fried poached egg or chicken liver and fois gras brûlée rouse the curiosity but also deliver on the palate.

As far as service goes - The Lovat recently won a gold medal from VisitScotland, so no worries on that front either.
