Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a village with all the services needed and not far from the island's tourist attractions. The rooms were tiny, uncomfortable, and old-fashioned, but the service was helpful. The location was good with a bay view, although a bit messy. The dining options were quite decent, but the price was substantial for one night.
I had a fine stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms overlooking a lovely courtyard. The service was efficient and friendly, although there were some issues, particularly at breakfast. The location was brilliant for exploring Skye, and the dining was adequate but nothing special.
Dinner was a nice touch, although there were some challenges with the shower and early-morning noisy guests.
The hotel offers unobstructed views of the water, right at the waterfront, making it a great spot for touring Skye and the mainland. However, some minor issues with the rooms and service were noticeable.
The hotel had bright and clean rooms with tea/coffee making facilities, a television, and a hairdryer overlooking a nicely laid out courtyard. Despite being warm with a noisy location above the car park, the rooms were available only by 4 pm, which was a bit of a letdown.
The hotel was right at the beach and close to all the amenities in Broadford. The rooms, though not luxurious, were clean, and the service, especially after a difficult experience elsewhere, was helpful and friendly. The dining offered lovely views despite being cold at times. The bright LED lighting gave the location a vibrant feel, but the smell of dampness was a downside.
The hotel offers a bright and clean room with good value for money, overlooking the small harbour. The staff is engaging and lovely, providing a pleasant shower experience. The location is ideal for exploring the surroundings, with a nice bar next to a small pier. The dining options are good but can be basic, catering for large tours. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a mix of experiences. The rooms were dark and outdated, feeling like being in a basement; however, the view of the Loch and mountains was breathtaking. The service was subpar with staff treating us as an inconvenience, but they did provide more when requested. The location, while accessible, lacked atmosphere and background music. Dining options were limited, and the breakfast was disappointing. Overall, it had its positives and negatives.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit noisy as we could hear activities from the bar area, but the second room we got was clean and had a better view of the internal garden. The service was top-notch with extremely friendly and entertaining staff. The location was great for exploring the island, despite some view drawbacks. The dining experience was a mix of good and bad, and overall, the hotel had its flaws but was fine for a short stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was ideal for exploring the Isle of Skye and nearby areas, with beautiful surroundings. However, the rooms were small and in need of renovation, and some aspects of the service left something to be desired.
My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The location was breathtaking with great views and local walks, but the rooms were in much need of refurbishment and quite rundown.
