Breakfast was good. Staff seemed to be new and not ready yet. New owners? Maybe they will get better?

This hotel is not worth the money. It's clean and comfortable enough but not worth what they charge. The location is convenient for exploring skye and Lockalsh but the hotel is not nice. We saw two staff members doing literally all the jobs. I don't blame them. We had a remarkably bad and overpriced meal there
The room was outdated and not thoroughly cleaned. There was old water sitting in the kettle from previous guests so there’s no way I was going to use the kettle even though I wanted to have tea when I got here. Who knows how long that had been sitting uncleaned. there was a dead bug on the bed next to the towels. The bed is a very old spring mattress that was very uncomfortable and difficult to sleep on. Room was cold and there was no way to adjust the temperature. Very very noisy all night and morning you could hear people outside our door and in neighboring rooms yelling and slamming doors. We asked if we could get dinner as soon as we checked in because their diner was 95% empty and the very rude woman at the desk was having a power trip and told us no they’re completely booked which was a blatant lie. We decided to walk down the street and get food elsewhere but not before hearing the manager ask her why she turned us away when they had plenty of room to seat us and plenty of food. She was just being mean for no reason. Never staying here again.
Bed was so hard i have pressure bruises on my leg because it was so uncomfortable and i suffer from major back issues so didnt sleep for the 2 nights we were there as was in so much pain. Had to let them know early in the day if you wanted to eat in the restaurant, not practical when youre out all day. Room was subpar, walls were dirty and scuffed, handles on bath were loose, shower screen wasnt long enough. Pillows were terrible, 3 stacked on top of eachother and that wouldnt make 1 normal pillow thickness. Door to room looked like it was a fire door from another part of the hotel, had a 'push' sign on it which none of the others had. Waste of money for what we got, will not recommend to anyone. Go further inland and find somewhere else of better quality and value.
It suited our purpose. They were short handed so we were unable to eat there. The bartender was very personable.

Not likely to stay again here
This was a very basic hotel. The room was tiny but did provide the basic amenities and coffee. The hotel was more expensive than what it offered. However, it is located by a beautiful lake which was the only advantage of staying at this hotel. You would need a private transportation for staying at this hotel.
Property is in serious need of an upgrade. Walls and baseboards are banged up and in terrible condition. There is a musty smell in the property. Our room was on the top floor and it was impossibly hot. Couldn’t open the window but front desk person had it opened. Once open it was impossible to close but thankfully it never got cold enough to be a bother.
The food in the restaurant and morning breakfast was well below average
The room was not made, garbage not emptied and coffee supplies not replenished

We only stayed the one night and needed a bed and shower. This property had both and were sufficient. The beds were actually quite comfortable. We didn’t like that the room was quite warm and you couldn’t open a window. We also had dinner here and it wasn’t bad but it was lackluster and we had to wait on the staff for multiple things. Didn’t help that a bus full of loud people showed up and packed the restaurant.
It started with a disinterested desk clerk, followed by a room that was minimal, at best. My socks picked up clumps of hair while walking on the rug. This is a hotel that caters to tour buses, nothing more.

This place is an old property. It does smell quite musty and you can hear everything from your room as the walls are paper thin. Bedding and bathroom was fairly clean but carpets were old dirty and warn. You can see they’ve tried to put in a few upgrades however it is definitely not worth the price but fine for a one night stay. Would not stay again
A large & very busy hotel with extremely limited on site parking but I did get a spot . All the staff were friendly & polite . Extremely basic small single room but I suspect that the larger rooms are much better . However , it did the job & I slept very well . Location is great with good scenic views .

Average hotel but clean
Check in was chaotic with a long wait. There was a tour group traveling so lots of people checking in at the same time with 1 person manning the counter. Rooms were old but clean. Beds were ok for comfort. It was a place to stay… dinner required reservations but the food was excellent. Overall, an average place to stay but noting fancy. We were fine with it but manage expectations if you’re used new/updated hotels. For those with limited mobility, no elevator/lift available.
We’ve traveled the world and this would be something sub-par by our experience. We can deal with small and old rooms, but this was a horrible bed. The bathroom was recently redone and nice. But, there was NO security lock on the inside of the room. And since the door has old school actual key locks, any old key could gain access.
We stayed in Scotland for one week and thought this hotel would be a good option for one night. Parking was tough but not as bad as the hotel staff who were unaccomdating when I asked if they could keep our food items in their fridge overnight. Every other hotel I stayed in was able to accommodate this aside for them. When I returned in the morning to ask for ice to fill our cooler the receptionist could not find the key the kitchen. How unprofessional. I'm very frustrated in the hotel staff and would recommend looking elsewhere.
