Went on a trip with my family to Skye, and was very impressed by this hotel. The scenery around it was beautiful, and the hostess was super kind. The rooms were a moderate size, and the breakfast was quite good.

Not sure if 5 stars is enough to give the place a fair score, rather 5+.There is a noticeable attention to details that is hard to find in any other guest house.Clean here takes a different level. It goes to levels of sparkling bathroom, shying juice jars, glasses and cutlery.Hospitality, food, gluten free availability, the views, … Would definitely come back!

White Heather Hotel is a friendly guest house. Our hostess made us very welcome. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished with a large TV and the best bed ever, so comfortable. The en suite bathroom was also spacious and the complimentary toiletries were lovely.Apart from the bed, the best thing about our room was the view from the window. It was fascinating to watch fishing boats come and go in the ever-changing light.The breakfasts were excellent.

Welcoming and lovely proprietress who took the time to find us a driver to take us around Skye and walk us through the intricacies of booking ferry rides and trains (after our tour company went bankrupt and left us high and dry). …
