Nothing. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Pros:

Fabulous dinner and breakfast, and great value for money. Friendly and professional staff. Really nice atmosphere, beds were comfortable rooms were clean.

Cons:

Lights in the restaurant could be dimmed as the evening darkens. Lager was just so-so, having been drinking Menabrea for the last couple of weeks.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, gutes Bett, gutes Abendessen. Frühstück ab Karte war gut.

Cons:

Ein wenig ungemütliches Restaurant. Recht in die Jahre gekommen. Bettwäsche hatte einen speziellen 'Duft' Frühstück vom Buffet war sehr mikrig. Cornflakes, Saft, Milch, ein paar Früchte... weder Brot, Toast, Butter, Marmelade... für uns zu teuer im Verhältniss zum Angebot und Lage.

Pros:

The staff were extremely attentive, the food was good and the room was fine.

Cons:

Breakfast went a bit pear shaped as they thought they had finished so everything had been cleared away, they dod fetch us coffee and juice though. The cooked breakfast was cold and had a piece of bread and butter ( we assume in the absence of any toast etc ). Just a minor error but the room was quite expensive to be without a proper breakfast.

Amazing dinner, comfortable night of rest, delicious breakfast! Do not pass this one up!
Pros:

We arrived later in the evening and ate dinner there. BEST food we had on our whole trip was at this Inn! Wonderful staff, amazing chef! The dinner was exquisite and the breakfast was amazing! If you cannot stay here, at least stop in for dinner! The brisket was delicious, cullen skink soup, homemade bread, drinks, all of it top tier. Breakfast offered different options than other places also. My husband had the smoked fish for breakfast and I had french toast made with that same homemade bread and also some yogurt with homemade granola. Pics attached.

Really good stay
Pros:

Lovely inn, the staff were lovely and evening meals were delicious and homely

Cons:

The room looked like it was missing some little touches that would make all the difference, a little art on the walls and some softer touches, the room was comfortable but the odd throw, canvas, picture or chest of draws or a place to sit to get ready would just make a big difference though I would absolutely stay again. The guy that works in the restaurant/ bar with the long hair is an absolute asset and very polite and friendly.

Pros:

Lovely staff and homemade meals with bread made on-site. As expected for an Inn by the side of the road in the Highlands.

Cons:

Dated (i.e carpet) but, that is part of the charm of Inn stays. Friendly and helpful staff. Good variety of food options.

Notte a Lochailort
Pros:

Camere pulite e accoglienti, posizione strategica lungo la strada per Mallaig, da cui partono i traghetti per Skye.
Cibo ottimo, ma il personale è quello che dà veramente valore al posto! Gentilissimi, accoglienti e super simpatici!
