Rooms were clean but dated and the sink in the bathroom was minute.The car park at the back was a mess , empty bottles etc ,just strewn around. Evening meal was good but in my opinion overpriced .

Hôtel charmant, où on dort et on mange bien.
Pros:

Hôtel très agréable avec son Pub en dessous et néanmoins les chambres sont très calmes. Les chambres sont propres. La restauration ainsi que le petit déjeuner sont très bons, bien présentés et copieux. Le personnel est très agréable et serviable.

Cons:

Nous sommes restés deux nuits, la chambre n’a pas été refaite entre les deux. Ce n’est pas très grave, mais on aurait apprécié. Mais peut être, est-ce l’habitude…

Prima, kan allemaal wat beter maar wel bijzonder aardig personeel
Pros:

Heel rustig gelegen maar prima om met een dagtocht the Isle of Skye te bezoeken.

Cons:

De kamers zijn wat klein. Weinig opbergruimte en het raam kan niet open.
Badkamer redelijk maar ook daar te weinig mogelijkheden om spulletjes neer te zetten.

Jolie chaumière
Pros:

Très joli établissement avant d'arriver sur l'île de Skye.
Bon petits déjeuners
Aucune nuisance sonore du pub juste en dessous

Cons:

Établissement le + cher/nuitée de notre séjour de 15 jours en Ecosse alors qu'il équivaut aux autres en termes de confort et de services.
