Ceilidh Country Lodge

Ceilidh Country Lodge: A Trip Back to the 90s, and Not in a Good Way If you're considering a stay at the Ceilidh Country Lodge, let me save you the trouble: don't. This establishment is a prime example of how to grossly overprice a product while delivering a service and aesthetic that feels like a forgotten relic from the early 1990s. The only reason you should ever darken its doors is if it's the dead of night, you're stranded, and the alternative is sleeping in your car. Even then, I'd seriously consider the car. From the moment you step inside, the overwhelming impression is one of severe neglect and a complete lack of modern comfort. The decor is jarringly outdated, making you question if any renovations have occurred since the first Gulf War. For the exorbitant rates they charge, one expects at least a semblance of contemporary standards, but what you get is a tired, worn-out facade that offers absolutely no value for money. The air conditioning unit in the room isn't just old; it's a testament to forgotten technology, wheezing and groaning with a distinct, unpleasant, musty odor. It's the kind of smell that clings to your clothes and makes you wonder about the last time, if ever, it saw a cleaning. Forget about a refreshing night's sleep; you'll be too busy trying to air out the room. The staff are equally disappointing. Far from being welcoming or helpful, they come across as utterly impolite and unhelpful. Simple requests seem to be met with a sigh or a vacant stare, as if your presence is an inconvenience. The front desk staff are particularly egregious, lacking any semblance of professionalism. They look as though they've just rolled out of bed and into the lobby, giving the distinct impression that they'd rather be anywhere but assisting guests. Their demeanor only amplifies the feeling that this lodge simply doesn't care about its patrons. And then there's the continental breakfast. Oh, the continental breakfast. Prepare for a culinary low point. The orange juice is so watered down it barely qualifies as flavored liquid, and the bread is unmistakably old, bordering on stale. As for the coffee, it's a sad, anemic brew so weak and devoid of flavor, it tastes like it was brewed not just yesterday, but perhaps two days ago. It's a breakfast that actively discourages you from eating, forcing you to seek sustenance elsewhere. In summary, the Ceilidh Country Lodge is a colossal disappointment. It is extremely overpriced for the abysmal quality and non-existent service it provides. Save your money, save your sanity, and book another hotel at all costs. This place is a last resort, and I mean last resort.

Friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Breakfast is simple. Not many power outlet. Hard to charge phones.

Awesome location right in town walking distance to anything you could want.  Stunning views and grounds.  We stayed in Skye house.  We will be back

Place was comfortable, and clean. However not enough plug ins or hardly any plug ins for and electronics(phones, ipad, hearing aids....). Could also be providing soap(?), thought this was a basic. Breakfast was good, could use fruit and/or yougurt.

The rooms were clean and spacious (stayed up the hill in the motel like rooms) and the view from the room was fantastic. We were able to sit outside in the morning and enjoy the view. The people working there were friendly and helpful. The kind size bed was the only downside as it was old and uncomfortable - you could feel the springs in the mattress. The breakfast was great and appreciated.
