Ein liebevoll geführtes, wunderschönes Hotel mit außergewöhnlichem Frühstück und unvergesslicher Atmosphäre.
Pros:

Wir waren hier im Urlaub in Schottland und haben gemeinsam mit meinem Sohn eine unvergessliche Zeit verbracht. Das Hotel ist wunderschön, sehr liebevoll geführt und strahlt eine besondere Atmosphäre aus. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Frühstück – unfassbar gut! Auch das Essen insgesamt war großartig, vor allem das beste Haggis, das wir je gegessen haben. Vielen Dank für diesen besonderen Aufenthalt.

A privilege to stay in such an iconic hotel.
Pros:

Everything. The breakfast was second to none, we loved the friendly staff and the history, location and vibe of the hotel was romantic and wintry.
The room and bed very comfortable and warm, with a lovely view.

I was travelling for work but the location and staff made it feel like a holiday.
Pros:

The location was stunning, the staff were lovely lovely and the room was excellent- despite a powercut we had the best time

The breakfast was brilliant and everyone was really friendly.

We really appreciated your use of Gàidhlig, especially on the doors & the word of the moment at reception was a nice touch.

Cons:

I have nothing to add here

We felt comfortable and very well cared for
Pros:

What a charming and comfortable stay we had. We’re so happy to have booked 3 nights here as our base for Isle of Skye exploration. The inn is beautifully sited along the water and includes a cozy pub and art gallery. Rooms are very comfortable and well appointed and the meals - fantastic. It’s possible to reserve in the dining room or have the same menu choices in the attached pub for a more casual experience. At the end of a day of traveling the isle it was so wonderful to sit near the roaring fire in the common room. But what made this stay particularly special was the well coordinated and cheerful staff. And in particular we have to point out that Matty, the jack of all trades, welcomed us at reception, kept the fire stoked, offered helpful advice and came to the rescue with a tire pressure gauge when we had some minor car trouble - all with a smile on a face. He’s a true gem and wonderful face for the inn.

Excellent location, many rooms looking out over water. Great dinner and breakfast. We liked the dinner so much we returned for a second night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Nice dock area, bar, and even a little art studio as well.
