Great location, lovely cosy feel to the hotel. Brilliant views across the harbour and beyond. Only negatives were: Small shower in a large bathroom! Poor water pressure in shower.

A compact, comfortable place but not great frontage

3 / 5 Okay

We booked this last minute as nothing was available on Skye. The pictures are very limited and don’t give an accurate account of the place. The flat is small but modern and well furnished and comfortable. Parking outside is challenging and the frontage and access is terrible.

The staff are amazing. However, potential guests should be full informed that the sofa beds are a small twin mattress on the floor. This is important for mobility impaired guests who may not be able to get up& down on the floor.

Excellent little place. Friendly, accomodating and good value. First impressions was that it was a lively pub but actually it was just the tonic we needed. The staff were great - told is what we needed to know, welcoming of the dog and calming of those first impressions! Room was very clean and the bedding excellent. Which is exactly what you want. They sorted us a dinner reservation, which was great as everywhere was booked out. Really hearty food and a decent breakfast too
