Reviews...

On a 14-day NC500 trip staying in 10 different hotels, this one stood out food wise as the best, including over some more expensive accommodation. We had a DBB rate. Usually hotels only provide a table d’hote menu if dinner is included but McKays allowed us full range of the menu. Our dinner was perfect even without a glass of wine to go with our steaks due to covid regs in Scotland. The breakfast was also the best on our trip. Top marks to the kitchen staff. I gather the hotel is family run over a couple of generations and it shows. Friendly, attentive staff at reception and restaurant. Warm and welcoming.

Showcasing Scotland's best produce

This event has been running for many years here at Mackays. The idea behind it is that we collaborate with some of our very best local farmers, sourcing their award-winning meat and putting it together into a delicious dish for our guests. We are proud to support Scottish farmers, serving up meat and produce in our champions’ dinner is not only award-winning but locally sourced.
