Top Scottish Islands Hotel Reviews

Eilean Iarmain

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spacious, with a picturesque water view. Hotel staff are friendly and engaging; made us feel welcome. The restaurant is great. Breakfast, too. And the pub where we chatted with some very nice folk. Worth the splurge."

Isle of Skye Guest house

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely old house nicely renovated and decorated in a light and simple modern way, and quite well maintained. There is lots of parking and the bus from Portree can drop you off at the bus shelter right in front. Although my single room was small, it was very clean and had some pretty decorations and a comfy bed. It was lovely to hear the birds singing outside the window with the view of tall rhododendron bushes. The tea tray and a small fridge were helpful to have. The heavy curtains were also great, since dawn comes very early in the morning in the summer in the Hebrides. I liked most other things about the place so much that I hate to complain, but I feel that prioritizing communication with guests (I had a couple of minor issues and found the owners very difficult to reach), and getting better organized with the breakfast items provided needs to happen. There was no yogurt at all in the self service fridge on the first morning when I went down. On the second day, there were no napkins or spoons, and the cart holding used dishes was so full it was hard to find room to add mine. Same with adding my rubbish to the trash can. There was barely enough space. The room is generally very clean and pretty with Victorian style wicker seats overlooking the garden, but on that morning there were a lot of crumbs on some of the tables."

Auchrannie Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great Base for Exploring Arran We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Auchrannie Resort and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Arran. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, providing a relaxing base to explore the island. One of the highlights was dining at the resort’s Cruize Restaurant, which offered healthy menu choices along with prompt and friendly service. The resort facilities are excellent and cater to guests of all ages and interests. I particularly appreciated the fitness centre, which was well equipped and a great way to stay active while travelling. Another bonus is the location. Just around the corner is the local Ormidale Hotel, a lively and welcoming pub that was a great place to meet locals and enjoy some authentic Arran hospitality. Overall, a fantastic stay and a property we would happily return to on a future visit to Arran."
