Over rated...

Hotel caters for large parties which can compromise access to lounge. Tiny shower/toilet. Access road has large potholes. Pricing definitely matched to availability rather than hotel standard

I had a fantastic stay at Skye Inn! The place has a really cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and tasty options to start the day. The location is also a big plus—just a short and easy walk to the town centre and harbour, making it perfect for exploring Inverness. The only minor downside is that the rooms are a bit small And less utilities.

Do not stay here if allergic to aninals. On arrival there was a cat sitting on the reception counter and we witnessed a dog dedicate in the dining room. Unhygienic.

Overall, my stay was very good. The staff were friendly, although not very attentive at dinner. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable but the lukewarm shower was not great considering the water out of the tap was very hot.
