This place is an A+. The owners so very nice and willing to help with anything. The breakfast was delicious. The lobby is very inviting with multiple sitting areas. One additional thing to suggest during a stay is to have dinner at Off The Croft. It is a way out on the beaten path but so worth it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tingle Creek. Our room was comfortable and the location of the hotel was exactly what we needed for our trip. The breakfast room has amazing waterfront views and the breakfast was delightful. The staff was amazing and made our trip even better. Dennis greeted us at check in and was very kind throughout our stay, consistently checked in and provided recommendations for things to do in the area. Andrew was also amazing and made us feel welcome during our stay. We hope to stay at Tingle Creek again!

This family-owned place is listed as a 3-star hotel but it is 5-star in my book! The hotel has so much character with many lovely gardens and views outside. Inside, the walls are filled with a range of wonderful prints and the upstairs hallway is lined with frames of kilt colors for many clans along with a write-up of each clan. The rooms are cozy and well supplied. There is a huge living area with three separate areas to sit with many board games stashed under the tables for use by guests. The breakfast was delicious with all the proper Scottish breakfast offerings. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is the best all-around place we have stayed so far after 9 days in beautiful Scotland!

We could not have wished for better accommodation - a comfortable bed, TV included, an excellent breakfast with a wide selection to choose from, wonderful views and within a short journey to Skye. Our hosts were pleasant and so helpful. We would definitely come back here when we visit Skye again.

This place was perfect as a base to go an visit Skye. The proximity of Kyle and its post office, supermarket and other commodities was very convienient. The hotel is calm and confortable, the rooms pretty large. If you get a sea view, the sunset on Syke and the sea is spendid. The breakfast was classic scottish. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Large parking right in front of the hotel. Be aware that the pictures that visitors put on Google displaying food and whisky bottles are misleading, neither restaurant nor bar on site, only breakfast.
