Overall, this property was what we needed for the night we got onto Skye. We found the staff to be helpful and the bathroom was updated. While the room itself seemed older and was small, the furnishings were new enough and it was clean. We thought this was a good value hotel for the money especially considering the breakfast that was included which provided many options. The location was convenient as well.

Our first stop on Skye before travelling up to Staffin. Very comfortable, the room comfortable, if not very large. Nice staff, we were served by a young girl called Lily in the restaurant - what a lovely, smiling face! Thank you!

Breakfast madness

The room was clean and had everything you needed although basic. Used as a coach stop so breakfast was awful with loads of people and stuff running out all the time. I will not be staying again.

I arrived and had so.e special milk and other dietary foods, as I'm a serious coeliac, and requested a room with a fridge. None of our rooms have fridges, I was told. Can I put my food etc in the staff fridge? No, it's a health hazard. I pleaded but she was emphatic and unhelpful. I have never in all my travels come across such a totally negative attitude, in fact most people are incredibly helpful. However, on a positive note the sunset behind the bridge was spectacular.

Dismayed that this hotel - not worth the money - was utterly awful!! No hot water, therefore could not shower. Heating was not working. Dirty dog sitting on Reception desk. Avoid at all costs. For Expedia to include this accommodation on their website is beyond understanding.

Very friendly staff but a disappointing salmon meal - both the salmon and the vegetables selection. Lack of dedicated disability parking and access from the car park is problematic. Shower over bath not good for many guests. Especially because bath very slippery.
