We had a great one night stay at the Clachain Inn. We had arrived wanting a bit of people space and our room delivered that space and haven after the journey in by train. The room was clean, the highland soap toiletries were great. The bed was comfortable. We ate in the inn for dinner which had a good choice and delicious food, we also took advantage of the breakfast which was included in our overnight stay. This was absolutely delicious and survived the full day on this alone. We would stay again.

We had a lovely stay. The hotel has been nicely renovated and you can tell they have paid attention to the small details. We especially liked that they provided The Scottish Fine Soaps Company toiletries, which was a nice touch. As we had an early ferry to catch the next morning, the hotel thoughtfully prepared a takeaway breakfast for us the night before. It included fresh fruit, yogurt, handmade cheese and pickle bread, snacks, and sparkling water. It was really convenient and much appreciated. Great service and highly recommended.

We had a delightful overnight stay in the room with twin beds. The shower is small but has lovely shower heads with good water pressure for washing long hair. The room is just up the stairs on the side of the Inn, so a quick walk to the restaurant for the included breakfast. There are cold breakfast options, and I had a nice strength latte and the hot breakfast. The service was good. I would stay here again.

The hotel is actually 3 rooms above a pub. The staff in the pub were helpful and kind, the food was amazing - shout out to the chef! Breakfast is included. The room itself is quite basic but ok for one or two nights. There didn’t seem to be consistent hot water for the shower. And the walls are paper thin and the floors are squeaky. Being by the sea there is the obvious noise of seagulls early in the morning.

Proper stay for a night or two. Very friendly welcome at the bar. Room was recently renovated with a good mattress and clean bathroom. Improvement points: Hallway to the rooms smells to smoking. Service at breakfast could be improved, the lady seemed in a bad mood.

The room and dining area were very nicely updated! The staff on hand went above and beyond to help us out. One note: if you do “reserve now, pay at property,” they did charge us within a few days of reserving rather than waiting. We weren’t able to get this resolved. I would still stay there again, but just be prepared to pay when booking.

Very convenient for us in the heart of Maillag, the food at the pub was great, room clean and comfortable, we had to leave very early in the morning to get on the first ferry to Skye and the staff was very attentive to make sure that we had what we liked for our breakfast/lunch to take away with us! They gave us multiple choices and packed it carefully for us leaving it in a refrigerator close to our room so it was effortlessly easy to grab in the morning. We truly loved the place and had an amazing time! I wish we had one more night! Thank you all at Chlachain inn, I’d love to come back one day!
