The hotel has a very outdated look and feel. This made me feel not too comfortable during my stay. However the location is good, just at the beginning of Isle of Skye.

My experience

Basic template for your hotel review: The room was not that clean. For example, it is not nice to find someone else’s dental floss on the carpet, coffee stains around the kettle. Even though we had booked 3 people for 3 nights, both the shampoo and body wash containers were empty. The next morning before leaving for the day’s activities, we politely asked to get refills which did not seem a problem to the front desk. On our return later that evening, the bottles had not been refilled. Inquiring a second time, we were surprised to be told that we should bring the bottles down ourselves to be refilled. Even though ended up the staff came up and refilled it, but it wasn't a good experience. The bathroom is newly done but the room is outdated and the mattresses are very old and no support.

Great location and good value for the price. We enjoyed our dinners. Breakfast buffet at 7:45 AM was disappointing because the food was almost cold, although the selection was ok. Most of the staff were very good but one young lady at breakfast was very unfriendly and moody.

hotel was clean enough,however there was no shampoo or shower gel in bathrooom.there was only 1 toilet roll and it wasn't even a full one.there were tea making facilities but there were no spoons.there was no fire safety instructions in the room.stayed for 2 nights and housekeeping did not do our room or change the towels which was a bit inconvenient as there was no towel rail in the bathroom where you could hang the towels to dry.but the worst thing i found was the fact that the large bathroom window had clear glass in it,there was no blind but it did have a curtain,but the window was on a slant so even if you closed it there was still a big gap at either side

I understand why others have rated this property poorly however I suspect they had high expectations. Whilst my room was not perfect it was perfectly adequate with plenty of hot water, a bed and a TV. All I needed for a single night stay for work. The local area isn't great for getting supplies so arrive with everything you need. Other than that have a cheap stay with nice views, or pay double elsewhere if you need the luxuries.

Needed more time!

Beautiful location, we didn’t eat in the hotel for dinner we used Saucy Mary Restaurant which was excellent for the price and we also walked up to the castle ruin on the hill near the harbour which was lovely to watch the sun go down. We had the window seat for breakfast which gave that little bit extra to a really lovely breakfast. Parking was easy as well. We will return once I’ve recovered from all the driving

This hotel is not worth the money. It's clean and comfortable enough but not worth what they charge. The location is convenient for exploring skye and Lockalsh but the hotel is not nice. We saw two staff members doing literally all the jobs. I don't blame them. We had a remarkably bad and overpriced meal there

Run down and rude

The room was outdated and not thoroughly cleaned. There was old water sitting in the kettle from previous guests so there’s no way I was going to use the kettle even though I wanted to have tea when I got here. Who knows how long that had been sitting uncleaned. there was a dead bug on the bed next to the towels. The bed is a very old spring mattress that was very uncomfortable and difficult to sleep on. Room was cold and there was no way to adjust the temperature. Very very noisy all night and morning you could hear people outside our door and in neighboring rooms yelling and slamming doors. We asked if we could get dinner as soon as we checked in because their diner was 95% empty and the very rude woman at the desk was having a power trip and told us no they’re completely booked which was a blatant lie. We decided to walk down the street and get food elsewhere but not before hearing the manager ask her why she turned us away when they had plenty of room to seat us and plenty of food. She was just being mean for no reason. Never staying here again.

Dont stay here!

Bed was so hard i have pressure bruises on my leg because it was so uncomfortable and i suffer from major back issues so didnt sleep for the 2 nights we were there as was in so much pain. Had to let them know early in the day if you wanted to eat in the restaurant, not practical when youre out all day. Room was subpar, walls were dirty and scuffed, handles on bath were loose, shower screen wasnt long enough. Pillows were terrible, 3 stacked on top of eachother and that wouldnt make 1 normal pillow thickness. Door to room looked like it was a fire door from another part of the hotel, had a 'push' sign on it which none of the others had. Waste of money for what we got, will not recommend to anyone. Go further inland and find somewhere else of better quality and value.

Not likely to stay again here

This was a very basic hotel. The room was tiny but did provide the basic amenities and coffee. The hotel was more expensive than what it offered. However, it is located by a beautiful lake which was the only advantage of staying at this hotel. You would need a private transportation for staying at this hotel.
