the welcome of the hosts and the quality of the food and the decoration of the place were outstanding. the dinner was shared at a long table with guests and hosts ( but obviously you could opt out) and the conversation were very uplifting. You feel that you have arrived at a friend house. The place is indeed remote and you feel to be in a very unique place. the whisky selection in the drawing room was very good and the host has my favourite one from the Scapa distillery in Okney.

that my google maps did not sent me to the right place first but the host kept my dinner option open despite my late arrival.

The staff and owners were friendly and helpful, the owner Adrian was a good host, including dining with two lone travellers, making their stay nicer. The food is mostly locally sourced, with limited choice of meals, pretty much being take it or leave it. The shower was great. The property has the feel of being within someone’s home, which it is, there are huge amounts of interesting items on display. A great remote location, providing refuge.

Ollie the general manager, appeared very aloof, unfriendly and unhelpful at times

In it's communication, the hotel owners mention that it is the most remote hotel in Great Britain...that's true! but wow, I never imagined that being so remote could be so rewarding. This was one of the most emotional experience I have ever had in a "hotel". This is large guesthouse in its spirit, with very nice rooms, great food, a lovely bar and most importantly its people. In summary you chose the place to get an accommodation in this part of Scotland and you leave people.

Nothing. Please keep it this way.

Absolutely phenomenal hotel. The most remote in the UK too. By the time you leave the owners are like your best friends. Lots of interesting nooks and crannies to explore in the hotel, with allsorts of quirky delights on the walls and shelves. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, I can normally never be bothered to write reviews but for this place I had to. Tip: Ask to join the main table for dinner. Thank me later!

The location is stunning, it’s out in the sticks. Exactly what we wanted and you’re not far from the next town. The staff at garvault was lovely and attentive. We got tea and cake on arrival and the dinners were home cooked and very delicious!

The only negative I could find was the beds in our our room. The mattress tropper was so soft and uncomfortable and I struggled to sleep on it. Maybe a little upgrade on the mattress topper front would make this place absolutely perfect!

The location was stunning and I enjoyed a streamside walk before dinner. A 4 course dinner, all home cooked, was delicious and worth every penny. Eva and Adrian went out of their way to help their guests enjoy their stay and were entertaining hosts. Single room had a very comfy bed.

The decor in the bathroom needs attention.

This is a very special place that is wonderfully remote. The people who work here care about the landscape and community and its rich history and share insights for exploration. You can explore directly from the front door - it is stunningly beautiful: silence, clear night sky, amazing air, and such long open views.

What could have been better: a longer stay.

If you like off grid and quirky (which I do) then this is for you. The staff are great, the guests mixed well and the location is both remote and stunning. The bedroom I was in was functional and clean and in line with expectation. The public spaces are awash with bric a brac and curios from another era. It makes for an unusual and interesting environment and a perfect antidote to homogeneous hotel chains😊

Garvault House is an absolute gem. Situated in the most secluded of settings, it offers unforgettable nights under a starlit sky, where the only illumination comes from the heavens above. The cuisine is top-notch, and the service makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can truly experience the essence of Scotland. It is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Scottish retreat.

A truly special place. The staff and atmosphere were brilliant. A very warm welcome with tea and cake. We felt very looked after and as though you were visiting family friends. Dinner and breakfast were great and the whole stay felt very personal. There are lots of books to pick up, and things to pass the time with puzzles, a piano and other guests to chat to by the fire. The bedroom was large and the beds very comfortable and along with being so remote it meant a perfect nights sleep. The views are phenomenal as well but it really is the people who make this place special. We would have liked to have stayed a lot lot longer!
