Larchside Guest House

Larchside Guest House

8/10 Good
"The hospitality ,cleanliness and breakfast was excellent. Very sweet couple . Safe place to stay. The drawback I found was that there was nothing nearby to move around or a cafe or restaurant at a walkable distance. They had fitted a new shower in our room...but we did not find it comfortable as we were not getting hot water continuously."

10/10 Excellent
"What a gem. Although a bit far from Portree square (a 30 min drive) the escape was well worth it from the hustle and bustle. From the lovely scenery accompanied with sheep and sea gulls to the large, well-equipped rooms, it was a really nice backdrop to the lovely area. However, it was the staff that exceeded expectations. They were accommodating with our early departures, serving delic. breakfast and coffee, and eased our minds with help finding taxis, which can be quite difficult - thank you, Thomas! The kindness that was shown throughout left us feeling we were among friends. I look forward to going back!"
