We stayed in a Deluxe room with a phenomenal view of the loch. Room was quiet & well-kept with a comfortable bed. The hotel is a really great location, just 10 minute drive outside Portree. Staff was service-oriented & very friendly. We ate at the on-site restaurant every night b/c everything was delicious! Breakfast was also very good as well. The only negative was housekeeping... they did not do a very good job of tidying our room & we had run out of toilet paper that was not replaced... it was not enough to deduct a star, but worth mentioning.

Cost definitely did not match expectation

Probably great back in the day. We found it quite dated and sad. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good. Room was small. Bathroom tiny. Toilet paper sat on small counter (no holder!). Definitely not worth the price paid.

amazing location and property. Our room was lovely but we did not have use of the shower for the three days we were there. We kept getting excuses that someone would come to look at it, then the plumber said it was fine ( it wasn't) then we were told that the shower needed to be completely redone and would be after our stay. We were compensated with 2 free lattes. I feel they should have done better than that. it is a small inn and full so they couldn't move us but 2 free lattes is poor compensation for having no working shower. We did have a tub, but not the same, and not what we paid for.
