Great stay. Staff were lovely. Took care of all dinner/breakfast booking seemlessly. Room was so clean and bed really comfy. Very cosy any homely. Lovely food in the pub below. Cratered for gluten free without any issue.
Good value Inn in Mallaig. The room was small but functional and comfortable. Matress and shower very good.
The quality, value and service in the Inn itself was excellent, as was the included breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Great location for our early morning ferry to Skye however paper thin walls meant we barely slept. This was due to the loud football watchers in the pub below and next door shouting and cheering, followed by full volume music and singing(shouting) until around midnight (surprising on a Sunday evening) & another guest next door deciding to do shower karaoke. Lovely room and staff but lack of sleep ruined it I’m afraid

Although we enjoyed staying at the hotel it is important to realise that there is no on site parking, it seems there is normally street parking 50 metres up the road, not sure how it easy it would be to park "in season". Also you need to be aware that the rooms are up a steep flight of stairs, totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Saying that, the hotel is convenient to the port, the price is reasonable, the staff are friendly and the food in the bar is very good. The bar is underneath the rooms but we were not disturbed by any noises from below. There are also nice balconies which would be good in reasonable weather.

The room is really lovely, very calm and contemporary. I love the fact you have a kettle but you could also do with a fridge. Also because we had a balcony was a welcome bonus
Breakfast was great, a lot more generous that we were expecting.
The inn exceeded my expectations.
The only negative was that the front door made me feel vulnerable as it wasnt locked and the wind kept blowing it open during the night and anyone could walk in.

The room is basic. Not charming but it has what you need. Newly renovated bathroom. It is placed over the pub so some noise is to be expected. The pub would profit from cleaning up the surroundings.
The dinner was the best we had in Scotland and the staff the most helpful.

This was a great find. A budget hotel with good breakfast, free car parking, easy access off the motorway, and easy to walk both into Glasgow City Centre or to The Riverside museum. Definitely looking at booking for the Commonwealth Games in 2026
