Disappointed with room
Disappointed to find our “non-king” bed we reserved and paid for was in fact a queen bed. Pricey hotel and very small room and bathroom.

We absolutely loved our stay. Wonderful place and people. The staff were amazing; particularly John and John, who were thoughtful and took care of us the entire time. Rooms were kept very nicely and having the option to do laundry was an added bonus. Skye is a gorgeous place and staying at this hotel only made our experience better. Terrific restaurant, which we spent 2 dinners 3 breakfast’s at. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon

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.
