The Stein Inn is certainly worth a visit when you are in Skye. It is beautifully situation by the loch side. The rooms are clean and comfortable. However, we were a disappointed with the food both and breakfast and the evening meal which was little above the ordinary.The decor in the bar and restaurant could do with an upgrade, a... more

You simply cannot beat this location, it has to be one of the best in the British isles. We arrived and unfortunately the car broke down, what a stunning place to be stranded! The landlord could not have been more helpful, he tried to get a local mechanic for us, but when he could not be found another local fixed... more

Thanks very much for your comments and I trust you managed to enjoy the rest of your holiday without incident. We have the policy about dogs because at times when we are very busy serving hot food there have been occasions when we have nearly tripped over well behaved dogs!!! Dogs are welcome in the bar out with the hous...

Arrived at the Stein Inn and was pleasantly surprised by the location which was simply stunning. Gorgeous bay and lovely buiding from the outside. Sadly everything from then deteriorated. The staff in the bar could have not been less welcoming and were bordering on unfriendly. Our biggest complaint was the room. We were not expecting anything outstanding and were prepared... more

It is always disappointing when guests do not advise us of problems at the time of their visit. 1. The king sized bed is a zip and link bed which allows for the bedroom to be both a double and a twin. It is an industry standard type of bed. 2. I am not sure what the reviewer was expecting...

Just returned from a short break staying in the small self-catering apartment attached to the hotel. The accommodation was to a high standard (and our dog was welcomed too) ,the service was warm, friendly and welcoming and the food was exceptional. No hesitation about recommending . more

The Stein Inn simply oozes genuine old world character and charm as you would expect from a place about 400 years old. Add to this its great location...just walk out of the door and the loch is infront of you...and you have something very special. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make... more

Great location, overlooking a loch. Cosy bar area, with an incongruous modern end. Smoky fire. What REALLY lets this place down however, is the staff. They have simply never heard of customer service. Everything seems to be a huge effort and smiles are not forthcoming. You have to eat by their rules, either one of two set dining times in... more

We stayed here for a three day break from 26 March 07. On arrival we were warmly welcomed in and shown to our room. Very cosy room with a low window looking out over Loch Bay - directly at the amazing sunsets we were lucky to get every night of our stay. We were staying on a b&b basis but... more

We stayted here for two night and were very impressed with the situation of the Inn. It is in the middle of nowhere looking onto a loch and away from the bus loads of tourists. Really beatutiful. The bar is great too, busy with locals as well as tourists. The rooms were were nice and the facilities were good too.... more

We decided to have dinner at the Stein Inn after a good meal last year when we were last in Skye. The Inn is perfectly situated down by the shore with views out to the Outer Hebrides. What a contrast to our last visit - we ate in the restaurant rather than the bar - the service was appalling and... more
