This hotel is not as advertised. It is “photo magic”, because it actually is very poorly maintained. The carpet is pulling up in areas, and the floors are wonky. There was only instant coffee for the room, and there were absolutely no special touches, such as chocolate cookies in the room. The breakfast was OK, but the hallway smelled of fish.

A perfect piece of luxury in remote Skye

Picked this hotel on a whim, and turned out to be the nicest part of our trip in the Highlands and Islands. A beautiful building with lovely period decor, however still kept up to date where our en-suite had a fabulous wet room with bath. On top of the fabulous building and location the food was excellent, and the bar was well stocked. Finally. The staff. Perfect friendly, helpful and welcoming. Every single person we interacted with mate is feel welcome and at home.

We absolutely loved our stay. Wonderful place and people. The staff were amazing; particularly John and John, who were thoughtful and took care of us the entire time. Rooms were kept very nicely and having the option to do laundry was an added bonus. Skye is a gorgeous place and staying at this hotel only made our experience better. Terrific restaurant, which we spent 2 dinners 3 breakfast’s at. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! It’s super beautiful with historical charm and elegance. We sat by the fireplace with a delicious old fashioned after a long day of traveling. The dinner we had was phenomenal!!! I ordered the Cullen skink which is now a new favorite - it was out of this world good! My partner had the monkfish which was also just as delicious. The staff were all super friendly and helpful making for a lovely holiday for us. Our room also had a cute outdoor balcony (1st floor) where we could sit outside with a coffee in the morning and see a nice view of the loch. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely be back!

Almost $800 US per night for a VERY TINY room with view of the water. Poor baggage assistance from the young porter with a beard. We are seniors and had 2 heavy bags, a smaller carry on bag, and a golf bag because we were at the tail end of a 3 week golfing and hiking trip, and we had a lot of gear. He chose to carry the smallest bag. There was also no wheeled baggage cart to assist us. Then when we got to our room, he hastily gave us our 2 room keys, but did not explain how to lock the door to the back sitting area, which required us to tilt the handle up first before locking. We spent some time trying to figure that out, and then the room next to us had the same problem. He was not welcoming and was not the first impression we wanted of this hotel. He was on his cell phone a lot during our stay. However, the older gentleman at the front desk and all of the female staff members were wonderful!!

I would have awarded five stars except for the fact that our room was the size of a walk in closet. We tried to upgrade to a larger room but we’re unsuccessful. Staff and location were excellent, however. Breakfast was superb.

Did not receive two twin beds that were separate but rather pushed together with king sheets, which is not what we needed. Way too expensive especially because we stayed in a garden unit, which is nice but not cool like the hotel itself. I wish breakfast had been served until 10:30 rather than 10 because I did an AM hike and was hoping to eat afterwards. Not sure about the golf course but yeah too expensive. We loved the neighbor cat though, very friendly!
