This was a very expensive overnight stay for our group by the standards of the other hotels that we chose on our tour - even after doubling up on rooms to restrict costs. Overall we were very disappointed with the standard of service. The hotel itself is in an extremely scenic location but that's about where it ends. The room that we stayed in was very average for the money and had a pink bath but no shower! The bar at the side of the hotel appeared to be operating a two tier pricing system..........one for the locals and one for outsiders.........and was out of local beer! The evening meal was ok but the staff appeared to just off a Youth Opportunities programme. Breakfast was a complete shambles; we waited for over an hour and the little boy opposite me ended up with a hard boiled egg to dip his soldiers into. Pathetic!!! Staff appeared humourless and still suffering from the after effects of the Battle of Culloden. Avoid.

We stayed here recently, and it was one of the few hotels/b and b's that we would not recommend on our trip. We only booked the hotel/b&b, not the dinner option. Although this hotel is located in a beautiful location and our room had great views, the hotel is very creaky and light sleepers will probably have trouble here. I woke up several times to hear doors knocking, shuters, etc. and at one point I actually thought someone was trying to get into our room because the door was moving back and forth (no one was at the door, or trying to break in). The bed was large, and very hard, but actually not too uncomfortable.

Our experience might have been different had we felt welcome in general. When we arrived, we went to the bar area which is attached to the hotel and we were glared at by locals who were having after work drinks. Later in the evening we came back, hoping to meet other tourists or locals, but again, we were just greeted by silent locals who did not make us feel welcome.

Given the price of this hotel, we would not recommend it. If the price was halved, then I proabably would, as that is the price I would expect to pay for a hotel /B&B of this quality.

This is a nice inn but the owners do not follow through on their promises and they are also weird about payment. The hotel was prepaid and then they acted like we were deadbeats trying to excape without paying. Errors occur but it is hardly proper to jump on people before politely asking questions.

We made it to Eilean Iarmain ------ on Skye before dark and had a little time to enjoy the sea air and walk around their extensive beautiful grounds. The whisky center next door was just closing up – they do tastings all day – but our rooms contained a little sampler bottle of whisky and the hotel has a bar.

We had rooms 2 and 3 on the second floor, with views of the water. We were very surprised that there were no showers in the nicely modern bathrooms (apparently not enough pressure for showers) though it made life a little difficult -lots of fluffy towels and nice robes. We were still extremely pleased by the excellent gourmet restaurant, comfortable surroundings, and efficient, friendly staff.

This is an enchanting place on a magical isle!
