Old Library Lodge And - Highland

We were attracted to this restaurant by the great reviews. Our experience was mixed. Service was great: friendly and efficient. The building itself is really atmospheric. However, we were disappointed with the food. I was really looking forward to the Skye Lamb rack and made sure to confirm with the waitress that it would be served ‘pink’. It was tasty but overcooked and fatty. I did mention this to the waitress, who was obviously not happy with the feedback.

Excellent Takeaway and excellent service. Reasonably priced, excellent food and service with a smile. Will sample the Restaurant service another time. Would highly recommend and will be back ourselves.

Unfortunately we did not get to taste your food. After reading the great reviews we decided to try. As we have a dog and indoors is not dog friendly, I asked if we could eat outside to be told “sorry we’ve decided not to serve outside today as it might rain!” We are in Scotland, the weather is always unpredictable!!! I explained we only wanted to have the Cullen skink to be told , still- no sorry!!! We would’ve had a drink also so approx £30 lost on us sitting outside for half an hour!!! Just doesn’t make sense!! I’m happy you can afford to lose customers in these quiet times! The lady was very nice who had to tell me this but think it’s embarrassing for Scottish hospitality!!

This is the second time we have stayed at The Old Library Lodge Restaurant. David and Penny Buick were again very welcoming and the food was excellent. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The room we had was very comfortable and the restaurant excellent. Breakfasts were excellent. The fish and chips superb. The Rack of Lamb was ideal and just as I like land. The Scallops were freshly caught and ideally cooked. The views from the front of the hotel were beautiful at all times of the day. An ideal location for a holiday. It was a shame that we had to move onto to Skye. We hope we can return in the near future.

The lady who took our order was very helpful and the quality of the food was superb, excellent venison and the haggis pakoras were delicious. They also have a good range of single malt whisky.
