What a dump! We stayed here for one night which was more than enough. Our room, supposedly deluxe, was far from my idea of deluxe. The bar was shabby and the food I would rate a poor pub grub, even...

We stayed here for one night this week and I am glad it was only one night. They had four levels of accommodation ranging from economy to deluxe. Ours at £99 for a double room was rated as standard,...

I stayed here this year. My family's from Benbecula, but I had to go earlier than them and have always rated the hotel, but my god. I stayed three nights, paid £69 a night for the honour and it was...

This hotel is an ideal example of what's wrong with the standard of accommodation, service and food, in Scotland. It's overpriced, I paid £69 for a single room that was small and dark. The en suite...

Stayed on business previously, standard was acceptable, took family on next trip. Room promised was unavailable on arrival after 600 mile journey, until we were forced to push pompous reception...

We stayed one night at the Dark Island Hotel on Benbecula, Outer Hebrides and we are so glad that it was only one night! I agree totally with the other review on this site for the Dark Island. The...
