OMG! This is the best hotel! Perfect place to stay before catching the ferry to go to the Isle of Mull, and then come back and stay another night. The owners are the BEST! …

Beautiful scenery from the hotels sea view rooms. Lovely owners really comfortable bed. And you can have breakfast there. But I think you have to pre order evening meals that are home cooked that evening.  …

The Hotel was better than expected. The Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. There is no fine dining, but more casual meals are served. Sadly only one let down, the mattress in my room needed replacing or turning. The views are beautiful

Going from our own experience as we were let down by the local hostel (hostel fault) the hotel couldn’t been more accommodating for us. We arrived quite late asking for the room to stay for us and the children. Staff were very friendly and understanding. Room was comfortable and the breakfast was very good.

Very comfortable and clean older style hotel, we had a very large room with windows overlooking the water to the Isle of Skye, super friendly and obliging staff, good fresh food cooked beautifully - couldn't really ask for more. Also perfectly situated only a mile away from the Skye bridge.

Lovely peaceful hotel in the most amazing location. So quiet and tranquil. My dog and I had a wonderful stay with such friendly owners and lovely food. Unfortunately I only stayed one night I hope to return soon and stay longer to explore the area more!

Great little hotel, friendly owners, great food and high quality furnishings/finishes. My friend and I used this as a base for carrying out wildlife photography aboard the MV Wild Morvern, operated by Wild West Coast. Will be back one day soon!
