Pros:

Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut und das Personal sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im obersten Stock ohne Lift mit "tollem" Ausblick auf den Nebentrakt des Gebäudes, der ca. 2 Meter von unserem Zimmerfenster entfernt war. Das Badezimmer war sehr alt mit einer Plastikbadewanne und einem Duschvorhang! Der Fernseher war kleiner als so mancher Computerbildschirm. Die Tische im Restaurant bzw. im Barbereich wurden von den Mitarbeitern zwar mit einer Flüssigkeit aus einer Sprühflasche "geputzt". Sie waren zwar sauber aber durch die Reinigungsflüssigkeit sehr klebrig. Mit dem selben Reiniger dürften auch die Böden geputzt werden, da man da auch das Gefühl hat, kleben zu bleiben.

Bien pour 1 étape
Pros:

La literie.
L’emplacement et le parking.

Cons:

Le service du petit déjeuner devrait être servi plutôt, pour être adapté avec le départ des ferry vers l’île de Skye. Car nous n’avons pas pu profiter du petit-déjeuner inclus au tarif initial.

Pros:

De ligging, net buiten het dorp bovenaan de weg. Statige uitstraling en van binnen ook keurig. Hier voor het eerst haggis en black pudding gegeten, heerlijk!
Kamer was groot en de bedden prima. Ontbijt is ook prima geregeld.

Cons:

Communicatie met personeel liep niet altijd even vlekkeloos...denk door de drukte.

Fijn hotel op doorreis!
Pros:

Pluspunten · Fijn Brits hotel, met goed restaurant. Communicatie was in orde, medewerker van het onthaal super vriendelijk, we kregen een emmer en wat doeken om de motor schoon te maken na een ruwe overtocht met de ferry (zout). Schone badkamer, nieuwe douche.

Poor quality
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is ideal for train travellers and good for Mallaig. Bedroom spacious.

Cons:

Initially no bedside cabinet, no bathroom shelving or hooks mean toiletries and clothes have to be on the floor. Low quality buffet style breakfast with limited choice. Overall we were left with a feeling that limited investment compromised guest satisfaction.

Pros:

Ładnie położony hotel, blisko do plaży i na prom na wyspę Skye. Obsługa bardzo miła, przyjechaliśmy chwilę przed zamknięciem restauracji i pan z recepcji sprawnie pomógł nam z zamówieniem jedzenia, a potem zameldował. Jedzenie było pyszne i chętnie byśmy zostali tu dłużej.

Cons:

Wszystko było ok

Pros:

Staff were very attentive and friendly. Good food in silver sands restaurant for dinner. Did not have breakfast as catching early ferry. The rooms are basic but clean and bedding fresh and clean. It is a no frills hotel, but we had no complaints. Maybe a little overpriced .

A great looking hotel in a great location but the standard of upkeep disappointing for the price.
Pros:

The location of the hotel and the views from the room are superb.
The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately the whole hotel feels as if it is in need of a refresh. It feels like a hotel that has been allowed to slip with the rooms not decorated appropriately for the cost. This makes the prices charged for accommodation and food high for what was actually delivered. This however, from looking into accommodation anywhere near the NC500 route, seems to be depressingly normal.
