Didn't stay here but stopped for lunch. Had the most wonderful panini. View and atmosphere very nice. Could have sat outside fussing the cats and looking at the view all day. Bliss.

Just back from a wonderful trip to Rassay:
As owners of a small hotel in Edinburgh we know how important reviews are. We had a great 3 day stay and would love to have stayed longer - plan to go back in October.

The hotel is not far from the Ferry so even if travelling on foot (we took our car over) its easily accessible.
We were not expecting a luxury room but were pleasantly surprised with our room with a fantastic view over the sea. 2 single beds together which made a comfortable large double. The room and ensuite were of a good size, very clean and comfortable the usual complimentary tea coffee hot chocolate Scottish shortbread etc were welcome after a long drive from Edinburgh. Bottled water is also provided in the room which is a good addition, as these can be refilled from the tap on other days if needed. We ate in the hotel for breakfast lunch and dinner - although we did buy a few items from the local post office which is only a mile from the hotel. So guests do have this choice if they wish to purchase extre food items.
The young team of staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Some previous guests had commented on slow service - we did not really find this but to be honest its not the sort of holiday destination you require really fast service as we were taking our time enjoying the views etc..
We were well set up for the day with a hearty breakfast. Enjoyed the home made soups at lunch times and sampled the local venison and fish in the eve. The standard of cuisine was much higher than we expected for a small island which must have difficulties with deliveries ets so we were pleasantly surprised. The prices were of an average with mainland Scotland - but to be honest we thought this was very fair as there is obviously more cost in bringing both staff and stock to the island.
Great trip to Brochel (may be wrong spelling) Our son managed to fish on the loch up here. Also had a great day out kayaking - the instructor was brilliant putting us at ease and making the whole experience one we won't forget. Make sure you also ask about Coasteering - although I didn't do this my son and husband thoroughly enjoyed it.
We took some bikes out, which was also a great way to see the other side of the island.
The bar is lively with a few locals which makes the whole experience very real. We will definitely be back.....Thanks guys keep up the good work.

Stayed here for a night on a touring holiday. Hotel itself is very rundown; the food was OK though and they have a lively and vibrant bar. Good place for getting away from it all, just don't expect too much comfort.

Our check-in experience was fine, we were shown to our rooms promptly. The rooms themselves were in poor shape, with a broken shower head in one and some mouldy damp in the other. The TV didn't work in one due to a broken aerial cable. Not sure when the room was last cleaned.

The evening meal was OK, service was a little slow but the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was again OK, with the service slow once more.

The bar in here is just what you'd expect of a small island community. Full of people drinking and having a good time. I'd have joined in but had a long drive the next day.

Location is what it's all about here. If you want to see the wonderful scenery and explore the island, this hotel is fine as somewhere to flop out after a day in the hills.

I give it two stars for the location, the pub and the reasonable food. Things to pay attention to are the price (£85 a room) and the state of the facilities in general. It's not even youth hostel standard; but if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind it so much.

Didn't stay here but stopped for tea and cake. Best cake I ever tasted! Came back later on that day for more cake. The cake was even better!
