Top Elgol Hotel Reviews

Balmacara Hotel

8/10 Good

"Initially annoyed at check-in when the rooms that I paid for were not provided. Booked two Standard Twin rooms, and got two Queen rooms. They were able to separate the beds in one room, but not the other. I was told by the front desk that I would have needed to contact the hotel in advance if I wanted standard TWIN room, which is exactly what I had booked (!). Then one room came with a handicapped bathroom, which normally wouldn't be a concern. But the entire bathroom is an open shower room. Everything gets wet; almost no shelves to place things on; no lighting above the small/low sink. Miserable experience. The hotel has recently been updated, and everything is nicely refurbished. The new floor to ceiling heating units and bathroom towel heaters were all on upon arrival, so the rooms were unbearable hot (over 80F) with no way to cool the room down. On the bright side, the restaurant food was incredible."

West Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"The view from the hotel room was spectacular. However, there were some shortcuts in the room that were disappointing. There was a towel heating rack that was on but didn't work and a heater in the room with a melted control knob. This gave us cause for concern with electrical problems. The hotel restaurant also had horrible service, but great food as I have posted about previously. There was a bit of a wait for checkout due to traffic too and from the train station with many parties checking in or out at the same time. Mallaig is a great town off the beaten path, though."

Kings Arms Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is like staying at a relatives house that has lived in the same house for 50 years. It's outdated but clean. Bathrooms were updated. Mattresses and pillows were fairly low end. Staff was friendly and accommodating overall. Parking is a bit of an adventure. Not many options for dining in the immediate area. The food from the hotel, both dinner and breakfast were good with nice variety. View is spectacular if you get a bay view"

Tingle Creek Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great inn conveniently located within driving distance of the town supermarket and dining areas. Friendly staff. Nice common areas which included an outdoor gazebo overlooking the water from which you could see amazing sunsets. Also a nice lounge/living room area with plenty of board games and books and a large kitchen. Terrific breakfast buffet. Rooms were comfortable and quiet and spacious. Recommend."

Tongadale Hotel

4/10 Poor

"We hardly had a wink of sleep in the tiny first floor room we were allocated at this pub (I hesitate to call it an hotel) because of the noise from the lively bar below. Even when the pub emptied some time after midnight the disturbance continued as staff quarters were situated directly above us and, once they left the bar, loudly creaking floorboards continued to keep us awake until much later. But when we went down for Sunday morning breakfast at 9.15 we were told it had finished at 9a.m. and, though we had been told on check-in it would be served until 10, the staff were unrelenting. Later I spoke to the manager who promised a refund for their error, but none has been forthcoming. The whole two-night experience was poor, we could not wait to leave!"

What is the best area to stay in Elgol?

The best area to stay in Elgol is directly within the village itself, or in the immediate surrounding crofting townships like Glasnakille, for the most convenient access to the boat trips and the stunning coastal scenery.

Elgol is a small, picturesque village on the Isle of Skye, renowned for its dramatic views of the Cuillin mountains across Loch Scavaig. The village is essentially a cluster of houses and crofts spread along a single track road that leads down to the pier. You'll find most of the accommodation options, from guesthouses to self-catering cottages, located among these crofts.
