The room was really nice. it included a standard double room with great decor and soft lighting it created such an intimate atmosphere. the breakfast buffet was plentiful. I found a wide assortment of fresh pastries and fruits!

The bathroom felt cramped. It had very little counter space, which i found frustrating for storing toiletries! the limited parking made it difficult to find a spot close to the entrance. I felt a bit stressed each time i returned to the hotel.

I found the staff attentive . nicola at reception was particularly helpful. She even arranged for an item i forgot to be sent to harris. the location offered easy access to explore the isle of skye. i enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace in the lounge each evening..

the absence of a drive-under portico made unloading luggage in the rain slightly inconvenient. it wasn't a major issue, but a covered area would have been appreciated during inclement weather. it added a tiny bit of stress to the arrival process.
