The Airds is one of the loveliest small luxury hotels in Scotland. Located on the west coast right in the Scottish Highlands. This romantic boutique hotel, a converted ferry inn, is set in one of the most stunning locations in the UK and is one of the AA's Red Star award winning luxury romantic hotels in Scotland. It is where personal service, luxury and a gourmet dining experience in the 3 Rosette restaurant (Michelin recommended) are the very essence of all that is great about a visit to this exclusive retreat.

Stunning location , we booked at the last minute due to a spell of lovely spring weather , booking on the hotel website gave us an excellent deal for a smallish room on the top floor with great views ( photo attached ) Room was very well fitted out with slippers robes etc , comfortable furnishings and good ensuite . Steep stairs might be an issue for anyone with mobility problems. Reviews last year were mixed I noted but the hotel seems to have had a significant upgrade over the winter and now definitely 4 star in my opinion . Staff are pleasant and a good breakfast ( I had the eggs Benedict which was very good ) . We didn’t eat an evening meal here so can’t comment on that . Very convenient for the ferry across to Lismore where there are nice walks , the cafe there doesn’t open until April so we took a picnic lunch . A great short break but of course would have been a bit different if bad weather . The area around the ferry was very busy and might be difficult for parking mid summer but the hotel has its own car park .

The Airds Hotel is a superb place for some desperately needed RnR which it gave in spades. Everything from the staff (who were there) but never intrusive. The food just seemed to hit the right spot and the rooms were quiet and had beautiful loch views. It's so good we're already planning our next visit.

We have just returned from another stay at Airds Hotel. . The hotel is looking good and there have been several noticeable improvements since last year particularly the relocation of the dining room. Food service and welcome were of the highest quality. Thank you Katie and the team.

We were warmly welcomed on check-in and showed to our beautiful, spacious room over looking the sea. We stayed 3 nights and didn’t want to leave! The staff were fantastic from start to finish, friendly without being too full on. The hotel feels high end whilst also being very relaxed. An excellent base to explore the surrounding area. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

A lovely spacious room with a beautiful view over the loch. Staff were very helpful and chatty. Food was good. Beautiful area with lovely walks and lots of wildlife. You can take a short trip by ferry to the island of Lismore where there is a cafe
