Grand Hotel a Skye
Pros:

La struttura è curata e pulita, immersa nel verde, caratteristica e fuori dal “caos” dell’isola. Lo staff è gentilissimo e super disponibile, siamo arrivati per il check-in con le scarpe bagnate dopo aver visitato le Fairy Pools e si sono prontamente offerti di asciugarcele (la mattina dopo erano asciutte e noi di nuovo operativi!).

Cons:

La mancanza di un ascensore anche se lo staff si è offerto gentilmente di aiutarci con le valigie.

If you’re willing to splurge, a night at the Duisdale is a lovely choice. Skye is beautiful and a great side quest off t
Pros:

Quiet location on the Isle of Skye. The house was pretty, room was of good size and the staff were all friendly. Food was excellent. Dinner was fine dining with quality local flavors. The lamb was wonderful. Breakfast was a lovely Continental spread along with hot options. The smoked salmon with scrambled eggs was a win for both of us.

Cons:

Not a great value. Over $675 a night for a room without true view. All the places I looked at for Skye were slightly elevated in price because of location.
