Loved my stay!
This hotel was so lovely. I absolutely loved my stay. The hotel has some historic charm, which I loved. Even though it doesn't have an elevator, I made it through and would love to stay here again. The check-in process was very simple. The view from my window was gorgeous and worth every cent. My room was small, but had everything I needed. I also loved the terrace restaurant they have. It had an amazing view and the waitstaff was very kind. Mallaig is so peaceful and the hotel just added to it.

It is a lovely property, however, my husband has a mobility challenge and there were many stairs to navigate without any mobility options. Otherwise it was outstanding.

Good but not terrific.
Pleasant stay, fabulous views, my single bedroom in the garret was small but comfortable. Food excellent, but slow service. Rather pricey.

No elevator. Not a problem for us but might be difficult for others to manage. No coffee pot in the room. Instant coffee just doesn’t cut it for me

Give it a miss.
Dreadful overpriced food. The mattress was knackered and the room bin had not been emptied from the previous occupant.

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

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..
