This is a must stay location
I LOVED this little hotel in Kyle, near the Eilean Donan castle. It is so clean and so comfortable and staff was so nice. I wish I could have stayed longer. And the area is so beautiful. This is a must stay if you’re in the area. Great little gateway spot to the Isle of Skye too! Another must visit.

Super King bed was actually two twins set next to each other, not joined in anyway. This made a regular king size if you overlook the separate mattresses, did not receive the bed advertised. Bare plaster on the walls. Holes in the floor. Cables sticking out of holes in hallway. Parking lot is no where near large enough. Every sound can be heard between bedrooms, the hallway, and the road outside. Felt like a scam for the price paid.
