Reviews and Ratings
I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right by the loch on Skye island. The rooms were cozy and clean, but the tiny electric heater in the front bedrooms could have been more effective. The service was warm, though some staff members could use more customer service training. The dining experience had a splendid view of the water, but could improve on offering more options, especially for vegans. The facilities were top-notch, with a lovely welcome drink provided. Overall, a great value for a stay in a charming area.
