We arrived after dark and left before sunrise each day so I can’t comment on the exterior of the property. But the room was clean, the restaurant served good food and the staff was helpful. The patrons of the bar seemed to enjoy themselves but we didn’t stop by ourselves. Would definitely recommend!

The staffs absolutely know nothing about the area even though it is very popular tourist city. They even do not know where to book a taxi, bus or any other translation. The breakfast buffet was horrible, they do want you to order some hot foods from the kitchen. If not, they would treat you like a jerk. Whenever I ask the questions about the area like tour spots, routes, transportations and restaurants, they told me, “I do not know.”

We didn’t receive the warmest welcome when we arrived. Said after he had us mixed up with another traveller arriving later than us. We had only booked an hour before so that might have been frustrating for them. We were planning to travel further but we didn’t know the area that well so thought we better get a room for the night and this place looked great and had nice reviews. Hotel was very nicely decorated, it was clean, as were the rooms and bathrooms and it was quiet. It was a nice respite from a long day of travel.

The hotel stands on quite a busy road in to Skye so during our stay there was quite a lot of cars and trucks going past. There is a spar shop located next door for any essentials and the town itself is a few miles down the road. I believe that the hotel has a few arrangements set up with companies who drop large groups off there as a stop over before / after their trips over to Skye. We found as customers on a one night stay there was no great customer service given when we arrived and we didn’t see anyone at all when we left? Both times we did notice most of the staff who were possibly family members grouped in areas talking or eating and completely switching off from their customers? It’s a nice enough hotel for one night, we didn’t eat there as the prices were very inflated. Clean, warm and enough free parking. Best feature was the view over looking loch Alsh.

This hotel was beautiful. The room was clean, bed was huge/comfortable & bathroom beautifully clean with an excellent shower. Had breakfast and evening meal & both were delicious. It was lovely to have additional choices from full Scottish breakfast or continental and the Eggs Benedict was lovely. Staff very friendly & welcoming.

This is the place to stay at if you're visiting Skye but don't want to pay island prices. Price is great, accommodations are well maintained (albeit a little cozy), and the dining staff are very friendly. It's 15min from Plockton for live music, and ~5min from the Skye bridge. There's also a convenience store next door for all your snacks before heading to see the Fairy Pools or have a dram at Talisker. There's also good taxi service. Mavis is the person/company we used in order to have a couple drinks up in Plockton. She was very friendly.

Overall, I wont be staying here again. The "King bed" is slightly smaller than a queen bed, walls are paper thin to where you can hear your neighbors conversations. The dinner was delicious though.

Nice enough
Nice little hotel, modern enough rooms in an older building. I didn’t eat, or go in the bar but both looked nice. The bin in my bedroom was however full of somebody else’s rubbish. Made me want to check the cleanliness of everything else but it seemed okay…

The front desk has friendly people. Beds need update. Not comfortable ! Restaurant has good food but the waiters needs more customer service. Breakfast was ok. They brought us different items that the ones we ordered. We did not complain and did not send it back. Overall the hotel was ok.
