Quiet and peaceful after London stay! Bathroom was fabulous - clean and new. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant / food was great! Staff also gave us great tips on places to eat in Skye. It’s worth staying on this side of Inverness.

Fantastic food and very nice rooms. The staff were also great with the a special mention of the girl with the awesome pink hair - she was a great host! The food was great, we recommend the scallops, duck and venison dishes. We stayed in room 6 which was lovely and a really nice ensuite bathroom. Very quiet and slept well so can’t complain!

Lovely boutique style rooms in a gorgeous location with a terrific restaurant and bar on site. I’m so glad we stayed here. It was a perfect start to our visit to Scotland. Beautiful views over the water from the front porch of the hotel. Plenty of available parking. And a bus stop across the road from the hotel if you don’t want to drive. Beds were very comfortable. Blackout curtains genuinely darkened the room. Bathroom was very clean and well appointed. Huge fluffy towels. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice and clean accommodations, people were very friendly, nice location and enjoyed the terrace with a drink. The room had no hooks to hang clothing, a towel or a toiletry bag. The electric shower was terrible, no water pressure and temperature was continuously changing, warm to cold. Otherwise enjoyed the stay.
