Friendly staff, but expensive stay.
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

There was nothing very premium about the premium room we had booked. At almost £600 for the night, it seemed very poor value. From what I hear, that’s just Skye for you.

Remote, casual but comfortable inn.
Pros:

Beautiful property, well maintained.

Cons:

There were no personal touches, a garden full of flowers but none inside the hotel or the room. The staff were all very nice just short handed, always in a hurry and not trained. I asked 3 different times if they could get a reservation for dinner at a neighboring inn. Nothing was done and no dinner the second night. It’s not like you can take a short drive anywhere nearby for dinner.
