“First class stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We had the pleasure of staying here for three nights last month and I can honestly say we would stay again at the drop of a hat. Good food, hospitality, views and rooms.
Reading some of the negitive reviews on here I can only think these people are living in a parallel universe, where people dont have the bottle to say anything by way of complaint but are happy to assasinate peoples livleyhoods behind their backs, shame on you!!!
To any prospective guests, you are not paying five star prices, the hotel is great value for the money you are paying tho and the views and hospitality would not be out of place in a five star establishment.
To quote a previous guest, when god comes to Skye this is where he stays!!!!!!

“knock it down and start again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

The hotel is in the most beautiful location, the view is priceless. The building itself however, instantly makes you feel depressed. It is so unloved and gives the impression that the owners really do not want visitors. We did venture into the bar as beer was needed. We stood therefore for a good five minutes before there was movement in the corner. This was possble a girl but was difficult to tell. Without a word 'it' disappeared through a door and I am guessing 'mother' came through to serve us. Apart from the stero playing Enya there wasn't much of a welcome. The bar was at the back of the hotel and the stunning view was therefore wasted. There was a lounge but it was made abundantly clear that this was for residents only. A massive shame as those fortunate enough to visit this part of Skye deserve a warm welcome and indifference does not make a busiess flourish. Please can someone take over this hotel and make it beautiful and welcoming, not wasted.

“Lovely Hotel in amazing location with welcoming owners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Stayed here for 2 nights, was welcomed by a roaring open fire in the bar on what was a bitterly cold and wet day upon arival... The owners were very friendly, had fish and chips the first night, the fish had just been caught that day and could not have been fresher or nicer (Or bigger)... Great views out of hotel over the bay, wifi available in the bar, (please note there were no TV's in the hotel but that just added to the peace and tranquility of the hotel and its views) when we were there they had guests from Canada, Australia, France and Germany stopping with them... one word of caution, dont play the owner at darts you will not win, he's a total shark... but the fact that the owner was willing to play darts in the bar with you shows how friendly they were....He even offered to lend us his map on day 2 and pointed out all the attractions on the island, some which are not on any guide and are well worth a visit.... would return to this hotel at the drop of a hat...

“Lovely views, but pretty tatty!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

people found this review helpful

Stopped here for afternoon tea whilst travelling round Skye and thought we'd stepped into a 70s time warp. The decor is very shabby and outdated, loos desparately in need of some TLC (the most garish yellow walls I've ever seen). Tea was good but served in battered old stainless steel tea pots on a dirty and stained tray.
Views from the 'lounge' were stunning but it felt like we were sitting in the living room of an outdated old age pensioners home. A real shame because with such a lovely location - it could be a great place if the owner put a bit of effort into a general tidy, update and clean up. It is very telling that the hotel's website does not include any images of the interior of the hotel!

“Never Again !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

Arriving on Saturday afternoon after a long drive, we were looking forward to staying in a comfortable hotel with good food . However the beer selection was mediocre considering that there are excellent breweries on Skye and roundabout, which would add to the selection. The food was of mixed quality , the steak & ale pie was reasonable , the haddock with tomato and thyme sauce was tastless as were the vegetables. The breakfast had limited choice and quantity , maybe because of the coach party staying , however this should not have affected our stay. The rooms were of poor standard , the Hotel desperately needs an overhaul to pull it out of the substandard 1970's decor.
The 4% charge on Credit and DEBIT cards was the final straw!
