The staff was so accommodating even though we were a late arrival. Ensured we knew the kitchen would be closing shortly and let us get our dinner order in. Beds were clean and comfortable. Felt wonderful climbing into that after a long day. Warm towels and a robe made showering feel fantastic! The complimentary breakfast was very well stocked and they cooked fresh to ensure there was warm food for everyone. If I were to travel in the area again I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for the exceptional service.

We stayed at Culanie Inn on our way back from Skye. This inn had the best service and was very pleasant to book with. I highly suggest staying here for the views and for the kind service. There was a great walk close to the inn which was wonderful for the sunset views.

The Cluanie Inn is a very cozy and quaint hotel in the Highlands. The staff are extremely attentive – from the receptionist to the restaurant team, everyone was helpful and welcoming. We were travelling with our nine month old, and the baby cot provided was comfortable, as were the beds. The room had great amenities, and overall we felt very comfortable. The only minor downside was the shower/bath, which is a bit dated and could benefit from being updated. That said, the food at the restaurant was good, and breakfast offered nice options and was enjoyable. A charming place to stay if you are exploring the Highlands.
