Kingshouse Hotel

Second visit here, first since the pandemic. A large group of us travelled up for the weekend. Hotel was both disabled and child friendly. Our accessible room was bigger than last time , so plenty of room to manoeuvre. All the accessible rooms look out onto the back, which is a shame, missing out on the view. Plenty of grab rails and wet room shower & seat in bathroom, the shower has a tendency to flood bathroom, not ideal if in a power chair. Red cord in bathroom, and bedroom. Only fault I would find in bedroom is that all the storage hooks are up high, and no wheelchair height spyglass on door. Public areas roomy and accessible , staff fantastic, and tasty food. The rooms are unbearably hot, even without heating on, and the hotel have signs advising to keep the windows shut to keep the dreaded midge out! They do supply fans, which didn’t help much, but they say they are getting air conditioning installed in the future.

Newly refurbished with a lot of thought given to accessibility, much needed in the highlands, as it can be difficult to get good accessible accommodation.All public areas accessible, although the main restaurant has to be accessed through a large public bar, so some distance for those with mobility restrictions, food can be obtained in the bar and the Old part of the Inn. ( Way Inn).Bedrooms and Way Inn accessed through a narrow lift, larger power chairs may struggle. Accessible rooms are located near lifts.Plenty of seating of various heights in all public areas, to enable resting. I loved the views, the bedrooms were well equipped for accessibility and roomy. They were also not charged at an extra rate as in some hotels. There were minor imperfections in the accessible rooms, see extra comments,but they could be addressed , as hotel has only been open 6 months. Staff were friendly and helpful, and if they saw me without my companion, I was always asked if I required any help. A bit pricey, but my first holiday in 2 years, and was happy to pay for peace of mind. Food was good, although I thought the menu was quite restrictive. Well stocked bar, especially of whisky. I was brought up in the area and it was an ideal base for catching up with family in Argyll. I would definitely visit again The friendly staff , friendly deer just outside the door, and the magnificent views made it special, but most of all knowing I could have a stress free break in truly accessible accommodation.
