Rooms at Eddrachilles Hotel

Staying at Eddrachilles is to experience a peaceful Highland home with a long story.

Our rooms are comfortable, modest in scale, shaped by the original manse, and gently modernised during our stewardship. Nothing here is grand or showy — this is a house that has welcomed people for more than 200 years, and our aim is simply to keep it cosy, cared-for, and true to itself while fully meeting AA 3 Silver Star standards..

Because each of our ten rooms is slightly different, we allocate rooms personally to ensure that every guest’s needs are fully met.

Guests may select sea view or courtyard or cottage garden view when booking.

If you have any other preferencebath or shower, step-free access, twin set-up, or bringing a dog — please contact us and we will match you to the most suitable room.

 

What Sets Our Rooms Apart

Eddrachilles began life in the 1800s as a manse — a Church of Scotland minister’s home — built on the hillside above Badcall Bay. That heritage still shapes the character of the building today. Rooms in both the original building and the sympathetic later extension follow Church’s original design: solid, peaceful, comfortable, honest in scale and layout, and a far cry from purpose-built, uniform, modern chain hotels..

Since taking on the hotel in 2016, we have undertaken a steady programme of careful improvements including: rewiring, replumbing, new bathrooms throughout, décor, and major exterior protection work including extensive work to the original roof and crow-stepped gables. Our aim is excellence in stewardship rather than instant transformation — updating the house respectfully, keeping its sense of place intact, and ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy it.

All rooms vary slightly in shape, furnishings or and outlook. What they share is a sense of calm, a connection to the land and seascapes, and the gentle simplicity that has served well this Highland home and hotel across the years. .

Connectivity

We provide Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, suitable for browsing, emails and messaging. Streaming may be slower that urban settings due to our remote location - you may find it better to download a movie and then stream to view, for example. While we always seek to be reasonable and helpful, we do reserve the right to restrict or exclude any device which is making sustained disproportionate use of the network at the expense of other guests (corporate VPNs are sometimes a culprit of excessive usage)..

Mobile coverage is almost non-existent inside the building and only available in certain spots in the grounds. Wi-Fi calling works well, but guests may also borrow a landline handset from reception with a direct dial number. This is free for fair and reasonable use.

The vast majority of the ground floor is step-free, including reception, lounges, and Rooms 1 - 4. The outer dining area has a small 3-inch drop from the flagstones to the wooden floor . All first-floor rooms are reached by stairs. Our full accessibility policy is published on the website here.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes — we welcome pre-booked, well-behaved dogs in certain rooms. Full details are on our Dogs Welcome pagecription text goes here

  • For accommodation we welcome guests aged 12 and over.

  • All rooms are peaceful by urban standards. However, this is an older building and some sound does travel.

  • No — we use a gravity-fed system. Showers are comfortable but not power showers.

  • Rooms 1, 2 , 3, and 4.

  • Yes, rooms 1, 2, 5 and 6 have baths with showers over

  • We have four rooms, all on the ground floor, that can be configured as twins. Please request this at the time of booking and we’ll do our best to allocate you an appropriate room.

  • No. The rooms are typical of a west coast heritage manse, built to be cosy but not spacious. They are comfortable for two adults sharing but there is no room for an extra bed. We therefore have a policy of accepting bookings for 12 years and over.

  • It’s good for the area but that’s not the same as urban settings. Perfectly adequate for emails, browsing, social media, but we suggest that if you want to watch a movie you may get a better result if you download first.

  • Very poor in the grounds (we can tell you where you may get a 4G two bar service) and virtually non-existent in the hotel building. WiFi enabling calling (if your contract permits) is best. This is just a feature of the remote location.

  • Yes, your room will be serviced by housekeeping between 10 am and 2.30 pm each day, unless you notify us at reception or fix a Do Not Disturb notice to your door. Bed linen and towels are changed at least every third day of a stay or on request.

  • Yes, on request we have some cheerful coloured towels for the beach and there is no charge for using these. Please do not use your white room towels at the beach.

  • Our standard is hyper allergenic bedding. However, if you would like feather bedding please ask in advance of arrival and we will make up your room accordingly.

  • Yes, we can make up your bed with blankets. Please request at the time of booking or before the day of check-in.

  • A fan can be requested from Reception during you stay. We also have some small portable fridges available on request for use in guest rooms.

  • No, we do not have room service.

  • Take-aways are strictly not allowed in the hotel due to the risk of stains and damage. There may be a deep cleaning charge or damage charges levied.

  • Most guests come to Eddrachilles for our views so we don’t provide screens. The infamous midges can be deterred by drawing the curtains and keeping the light off in the evenings if you wish to leave the window open. Our sea breezes are also a very effective counter.

  • Yes in each room you will find at least one double plug electrical socket with 2 USB charging points . At present these are USB A but Richard is on the case in the winter of 2025-26 to provide more USB C facilities. In case he fails, please bring an adapter or ask at reception where we keep a small supply to borrow.
