I stayed at the Mackinnon House whilst working at Kyle. We were starting early and finishing late so we didn't see much of the staff or the owners until breakfast on ther last day, but they were very friendly and welcoming. I think we were the only guests there for a couple of nights. Anyway, the rooms were clean, and... More

We stayed for 2 nights here. When we arrived the receptionist really did not speak to us during check in process. This was uncomfortable. I had asked for a ground floor room so we were in the lodge building behind the main hotel. The room was large and comfortable,but, we could see that the carpet had not been vacuumed before... More

I booked the MacKinnon Country House hotel for an evening meal on the recommendation of another guest-house further down the road. I almost didn't bother to turn up as the receptionist had been distinctly unfriendly on the telephone, making me feel that perhaps outside dinner guests were not really welcome. However, as there didn't appear to be any other good... More

First impressions of this hotel are really good. It looks very stately from the exterior, with lovely grounds. The entrance is grand and, although a bit worn, still has an air of grandeur. There is much potential; but there's just something about the MacKinnon that makes you feel like you need to keep your voices down. We received no greeting... More

We stayed here for two days in September as a base for exploring the Isle of Skye. The hotel has an "honesty" bar, two comfortable sitting rooms, a restaurant, and is surrounded by lovely green gardens. It is right across the bridge from the Scottish mainland. The hotel serves dinner as well as breakfast, and we ate here both nights.... More

We got married near by Eilean Donan Castle and booked into the Mackinnon Hotel for both our wedding meal with friends & family and also our wedding night . We had the Honeymoon suite which was gorgeous....beautifull four poster bed draped with tartan swags. The room was clean and very spacious and the bathroom looked like new. The water pressure...

For £110 a night, we expected better. The room (4) had dead spiders and webs on ceiling, en suite is so out of date, not country hotel but cheap student flat bathroom with a disgustingly dirty loo brush yuk! The Walls were paper thin we could hear people talking and snoring. Bed was two singles pushed together, which aren't very... More

We found the hotel very disorganised. We were given a double room instead of the twin room we had requested. Had to provide proof of our booking before it was changed and were made to feel a nuisance over it. Found the owner of the hotel very unfriendly, though other members of staff were pleasant enough. The food in the... More

My wife and I stayed with our three boys for one night in August. We had had a great day on Skye and the hotel was the perfect place for us to spend the night. We were in the Garden Lodge and had a lovely big family room. The owner, Ian, is a really smashing bloke. What a nice guy!... More
