Perched on the north west corner of the country is a real treat, our home from home which we used as a base from which to explore amazing beaches, nearby lochs and the imposing mountain landscapes. MacKay’s is not a 'traditional hotel' so if you turn up expecting 24 hour room service, a capacious dining room and an endless culinary... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a large airy room located to the rear of the property. We could hear some noises in our room, from the kitchen/preparation area below, but nothing to worry about. No stunning views from our room - we could see the sea, but had to look past the local amenities block to do... More

Very stylish room with beautiful bathroom (with wet room shower). Very comfortable bed. An unexpected bonus was the large flat screen TV with freesat HD. First class food was served in the small but attractive dining room. Great attention to detail throughout - good design is obviously very important to the owners. The staff were efficient and friendly. Highly recommended. More

I was on a dream trip to escape 24/7 self employed pressure. My tent had broken, air bed punctured and a walk on Balnakeil beach had relieved some stress. I needed a room somewhere. Called into reception to enquire if a single room was available (hotel is attatched to a bunkhouse) A very snooty young lady replied to my question... More

Hi - thank you for your review. At macKay's we strive to offer the best possible customer service and take all feedback on board. In this case a prospective customer enquired about the availability of a single room - as we only have twin and double rooms we offered this but the customer was not prepared to accept what we...

We stayed 3 nights as part of a 2 week holiday to the NW Scotland. We loved Mackay's rooms. Excellent welcome, wonderful style ( modern scottish we'd call it) superbly comfortable beds with feather toppers and best linen, great bathroom and a very peaceful night. ( Was at first a bit dismayed by position on the road, but don't let... More

We really liked this hotel. We were made to feel very welcome in that quiet highland way....if you are looking for an effusive welcome you might be disappointed. The room was very comfortable - great bed, good t.v., lovely bathroom, very calming. Well executed local menu and great service. The two resident dogs (kept outside) were an added touch. Will...

My husband & I went on a 5 day trip through North west Scotland and this was one of the 5 upmarket B&B / guesthouses we stayed in. Mackays surpassed our expectations in every regard. The staff (as well as the owner, Fiona) was very friendly and welcoming (changing our double bed into twin beds whilst we had dinner), the... More

On arrival the receptionist was so off-hand that we thought we had made a mistake. Fortunately she soon left for the evening and the other staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable, and quiet even in a gale, and the evening meal was very good. A bit pricy, and exorbitant charges for credit card use, but... More

Stayed in July for 9 days, was welcomed by very friendly owner Fiona. Room was very cosy with really comfortable bed crisp white bedding and copious amounts of hot water. All the staff were really friendly with nothing being to much trouble. There was always a really pleasant atmosphere in the hotel, and when the temperature dipped there was a... More
