    Everything was very good, caring staff, fantastic views of the Loch & mountains. The hotel was situated in the central location in "Restaurant. Moreover, it was short walk to Eilean Donan Castle, the loch, and sea.

    The very spacious room with a good view. The big parking lot in front of the hotel. The young staff was very hard working but sometimes a bit complicated. Environmentally friendly behaviour (jam, butter, etc. not in small plastic packaging)

    The beds are only about 80cm (single beds) wide. . The fan in the bathroom is loud and annoying. The bathtub is designed for dwarves.

    Convenient location to visit Skye. Good breakfast.

    Expensive restaurant for the quality offered. Maintenance could be better (curtain rail broken in our room, no place to hang towels in bathroom,...). Overpriced compared to other accommodation used in same trip, even though we got a special offer. Wi-fi not available throughout the hotel, only in a corridor area.

    The hotel is nicely and modernly furnished in the lobby area. The breakfast is plentiful and the breakfast room is big so there is plenty of space for everyone.

    Unfortunately, we had a blackout that night. It took about 2 hours until we could use something. I would like the hotel to be more helpful here. But altogether one cannot reproach anyone because the whole region was affected.

    Convenient to Kyle Plocton etc. evening meals of good standard. Lovely views over Loch at breakfast time.

    Room was small and of poor upkeep,although clean, poor outlook from window. Tv only worked on 3 channels. Mould in Bathroom This part of the hotel semed to be of a lower standard untiI I put the hall way heater on and the one in my room it was freezing, an over sight from the hotel staff. I expect a smaller single room but these rooms should be at a very low price. I noted further up the same coridoor the rooms were updated and not oppresive Noisy children running up and down hall way.

    great breakfast
    outdated bathroom

    Fine views and friendly vibes!

    The views of Loch Alsh were just gorgeous from the lounge and our room. Staff was super friendly, even had someone play guitar for us, that was a highlight! Breakfast was tasty, especially the Scottish options. Only downside was the bathroom could use some updates. A great spot for a getaway!
