Overall we had a nice 1- night stay at this hotel. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and the food in the restaurant at dinner was delicious. The hotel itself is a bit dated at first look, but that doesn't bother me as long as the rooms are clean. The only real downside for us was that there was no elevator, but that's manageable. The shower in our room was a bit wonky, as it went hot, cold, hot, cold without turning the nob, but we laughed it off. It was a shower experience. Haha

A lovely independent family owned hotel with a spectacular view from our room. Mallaig is also an underappreciated village, a quick transit point for many, it is definitely worth spending time there.

Definitely visit
The hotel was brilliant, check in very easy and shown the room and where everything was, very clean and comfy the only thing that caught my eye and nothing could be helped was, my room was out the back and the fire escape badly needed painting as it looked a sight which again nothing can be helped but it just looked out of place in a stunning setting. The restaurant was fantastic, really nice food, and generous portions..

The situation is excellent - great views over the sea. The restaurant and terrace share the same outlook. We booked a ‘cosy double’ room, aware it would be small but the sloping ceilings made moving around a challenge without bumping your head. Could these rooms be cheaper with an explanation that the cost reflects the space issues?Both receptionists were exceptionally helpful. Other staff also nice. All were fairly young and, at least in the restaurant, would have benefitted from some direction/ oversight by more experienced staff. The food experience was a bit mixed. Fish a bit overcooked, Caesar salad overwhelmed a bit by lots of fresh tarragon and rosemary, but chicken nicely cooked. Portions were very generous, a bit too much for some things. The chips were great but one bowl is more than enough for two people. We ate less than half of ours and every table was the same, causing so much waste. We waited a long time after finishing our main course without anyone coming back to clear the table or offer dessert menus. When we caught the attention of one of the staff, they promptly brought us the bill, without the chance to order dessert. Wine was a bit do it yourself - if bottle was a screw top, diners were left to open it themselves. If not, it was opened, put back in the cooler without being poured or a taste offered. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great to have bins for recyclables in the room. Overall good, but could be better with some attention to detail.

Perfect Seaside Getaway
We loved our stay in our double room with exceptional views over the water. We could have looked out that window for hours, very peaceful! The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful and our evening meal very good. We also enjoyed having a drink in the bar area and on the terrace. It was a huge advantage for us that all parts of the hotel were dog friendly and easy parking right outside. The only downside for us was no lift.

It's a lovely hotel and very close to the ferry terminal where we took the ferry to the Isle of Skye. We're lucky to get an ocean-view room which was spectacular. You can also walk to stores and restaurants easily. The only issue that I had was the automatic check-in and check-out process. We arrived around 9:30pm, and no one was at the reception. It felt a bit awkward.
