“Local Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Stayed here for three nights in a room overlooking the rear car park... The hotel is situated on the road to Portree in the centre of Broadford which is a busy wee place but which was a bit quiet on our visit.
The hotel itself is fine, the decor (which seems to have offended some people) can basically be described as "Brown" but is clean. The rooms were of a good size, fairly basically decorated but perfectly fine.
Visiting in February meant that the hotel restaurant/bar was closed which was unfortunate and meant that it was only open for breakfast. Breakfast was excellent on two of the mornings but a bit poor on the third when I'm fairly certain the chef must have had the morning off.
My main gripe is that due to the restaurant being closed any meals at the hotel were taken in the "locals bar" which is attached. That was a bit of an adventure. Locals gather round the bar, which is at one corner of the premises, about two deep and chat loudly about their lives, never looking round, never budging to let the visitors/strangers in. This means that ordering from the bar requires the visitor to jump up and down in the air, much like how the tribesmen on the Maasai Mara dance, in order to gain the attention of the staff.
I'd go back but in the Summer when Skye is actually open for business and when the rain isn't coming in sideways.

Room Tip: Not overlooking the rear car park

“Birthday weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Stayed in room 28 for 2 nights. Very comfortable; spacious bedroom, own sitting/tv area and spacious en-suite with bath and shower. Staff thin on the ground but very helpful and pleasant. Brilliant value (booked thru LateRooms) breakfast excellent. Very clean although decor somewhat sub-dued.

Room Tip: Top floor probably quietest. We stayed on first floor and there was some floor-creaking from above

“Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Myself and my husband came to Skye for a weekend away before the Christmas madness they staff were lovely a young Glaswegian girl was very friendly and helpful thoughout our time, even the old woman behind the bar that many locals had said was nippy was lovely. Defiantly would recommend as staff were lovely and also the food too. Hope to come back soon

“Not recommended”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Their ads are misleading-they are just going on the fact that the hotel is the home of Drambuie, which gives the property some flavor, but it was the dreariest place I've ever stayed in: the walls, furniture, and carpet are all covered in stained, dirty dark brown fabrics, there is a pervasive stale smell throughout the lobby, and it just generally seems abandoned. This is not the type of welcome that one is looking for after a long day of travelling. They show you pictures of their "bar area" but it's just a couple of old dirty sofas next to the dining room. The breakfast there was terrible, my porridge was soaking in water, the toast was the lowest quality bread, the coffee was undrinkable, the eggs must have been from a mix and worst of all, the salmon was not fresh. The people at the reception are generally absent or clueless. Not at all professional. The room, however, was surprisingly good with most modern conveniences. The room was not worth the stay, though . Skip this hotel and stay at the Three Chimneys, The Kinloch or any other property that can give you the Highland experience that you're looking for.
