Great service and nearby ferry to Isle of Skye
Service was excellent. Dinner was great. Room was spacious but hotel is an older decor. The views are amazing and location to the morning ferry was so convenient

Spotlessly clean hotel and nice well stocked bar. Room was very hot - we are experiencing a heat wave so perhaps closing blinds prior to guest check in would be helpful esp in second floor. Towel rail on full and radiator in corridor added to the heat. An uncomfortable night

Wonderful Mallaig stay
We had a one night stay en route to Eigg. We were amazed at how good our stay was it was.fantastic value. Extremely comfortable bed with all facilities clean and good quality, great shower, unsurpassable views from our bedroom windows! Bar and restaurant service and food were excellent, although it was an incredibly busy night in the restaurant, the staff were so hard working and attentive. Thank you.

Nice hotel but 4pm check-in is later than I’m used to and not really justifiable in my view. Shower was hopeless. Very little pressure and the only effective way to control temperature was to move it up and down the bar it was attached to. The temperature control itself did nothing.
Pricey given the above.

Lovely overnight stay
Lovely stay and without asking recognized my husband was challenged and changed our room to accommodate us. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice, complimented with the lovely views. Nice bar very reasonably priced but sadly we were unable to try the restaurant as it's closed on friday.
