Average
The hotel is a bit tired. No smiles on reception and the breakfast start times are far too late for anyone that wants to have an early start. Food quality average, restaurant service was good.
Perfect for an overnight stay en route to the ferry. Has a public and hotel bar and short walk to a few other options.

Hotel with a GREAT View Could Use Some TLC
The hotel has a great view of the harbor which is so lovely! The hotel could be so much more charming just by simplifying the hodge-podge and sprucing it up a bit, it does have character. The rooms had some issues like very old carpet, mildew in the bathroom, the bathroom fan sounded like a 747, and the beds were not very comfortable.
The manager so kindly accommodated the booking error with twin beds instead of a double bed.

Expensive but fine
It was fine the horror reviews are bonkers it’s pretty on point for Scotland. It’s over priced for what you get but it’s nothing terrible

The dog on the counter is not taxidermied. He is alive and friendly. This hotel is a bit dear in price but it has its charm.

Overall, this property was what we needed for the night we got onto Skye. We found the staff to be helpful and the bathroom was updated. While the room itself seemed older and was small, the furnishings were new enough and it was clean. We thought this was a good value hotel for the money especially considering the breakfast that was included which provided many options. The location was convenient as well.
