We stayed at Culanie Inn on our way back from Skye. This inn had the best service and was very pleasant to book with. I highly suggest staying here for the views and for the kind service. There was a great walk close to the inn which was wonderful for the sunset views.

The Cluanie Inn is a very cozy and quaint hotel in the Highlands. The staff are extremely attentive – from the receptionist to the restaurant team, everyone was helpful and welcoming. We were travelling with our nine month old, and the baby cot provided was comfortable, as were the beds. The room had great amenities, and overall we felt very comfortable. The only minor downside was the shower/bath, which is a bit dated and could benefit from being updated. That said, the food at the restaurant was good, and breakfast offered nice options and was enjoyable. A charming place to stay if you are exploring the Highlands.

Excellent stay over 3 nights, room was good, comfortable and had everything you would expect. I had a single so not huge but more than enough room for me. Staff were all excellent, friendly, very willing and efficient to help when required. Breakfast (hot or cold) was very good, bar meals were also good though not the cheapest.

This was one of my all time favorite locations for a hotel in Scotland - out in the remote highlands, misty mountains and lush green valleys with rivers running through. The bedrooms were decorated perfectly to fit the vibe and were cozy, although a little small. It was quiet, even leaving the windows open to let the fresh air in (as long as you were on the side of the hotel facing out to the mountains). The part that really hit home was the breakfast in the morning which was in the most epic part of the restaurant privately reserved for guests with a delicious breakfast buffet. It looked more like a Switzerland lodge. The staff were excellent the whole time. The only issue we had was a later checkin (9:30 pm) where the phone number on the door was unreachable that left us in a bit of a panic to not get in for about 20 minutes but we were able to go next door to the staff accommodations and get someone to let us in. Across from the hotel is their cafe and this was a staple spot to get caught up on laptop work during our trip, with excellent wifi speeds and good coffee. We loved it and would make this a for sure stop on the way to the Isle of Skye.
