This hotel is not as advertised. It is “photo magic”, because it actually is very poorly maintained. The carpet is pulling up in areas, and the floors are wonky. There was only instant coffee for the room, and there were absolutely no special touches, such as chocolate cookies in the room. The breakfast was OK, but the hallway smelled of fish.

A perfect piece of luxury in remote Skye

Picked this hotel on a whim, and turned out to be the nicest part of our trip in the Highlands and Islands. A beautiful building with lovely period decor, however still kept up to date where our en-suite had a fabulous wet room with bath. On top of the fabulous building and location the food was excellent, and the bar was well stocked. Finally. The staff. Perfect friendly, helpful and welcoming. Every single person we interacted with mate is feel welcome and at home.
