Enjoying 20 hours of Mallaig

Two couples traveling together from Glasgow with the train. Arriving around 2 pm and enjoyed the village and harbour. We checked in around 15:45 and got rooms on different floors. There were no elevators so the heavy luggage is… well heavy. The bar and staff was very polite. The breakfast although not included in the booked price was very good and also offered a wonderful view, real oceanfront.
Hakan, 1-night trip

Nice and quiet, but rather small room and bathroom. Breakfast not included.

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.
Sally, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Stayed here on motorcycle trip. Service was really friendly with good communication. Hotel is dating a bit but clean and comfortable. Thought it was expensive overall.
