Excellent but over priced.

A comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. However, it did not come up to the standard expected from the price - no lift, small room, no shower gel or shampoo, and a bath mat the size of a flannel. For this price, the highest by far I have paid for 4 star hotels throughout this trip to Scotland, I expected a lot better. I would give it a 5 star review at about two thirds of the price.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff. Only a few wee niggles.. toilet seat didn’t fit and wasn’t secure, bathroom dark, mirror light didn’t work.. light bulb missing from over bed light… window wouldn’t open/ close ( hotel aware so fan supplied)… window blind wouldn’t go up in the morning correctly. Room very noisy in the morning due to other guests, thin walls. Saying this we would stay again.

Loved my stay!

This hotel was so lovely. I absolutely loved my stay. The hotel has some historic charm, which I loved. Even though it doesn't have an elevator, I made it through and would love to stay here again. The check-in process was very simple. The view from my window was gorgeous and worth every cent. My room was small, but had everything I needed. I also loved the terrace restaurant they have. It had an amazing view and the waitstaff was very kind. Mallaig is so peaceful and the hotel just added to it.
