Waterside Tranquility

friendly staff spacious room
During storm Floris, the hotel faced a power outage. The staff managed admirably, keeping the bar open and providing sandwiches for all. Power was restored the next day. Dinner was very good and serving staff were friendly and efficient. Our room was super clean and spacious. The staff were polite and friendly.
I booked for two nights, and the initially assigned room had a bad smell. I think it was from mold. The hotel switched me to another room for the second night, way better.

Excellent Stay with Fine Views

great location friendly staff efficient service good food
I appreciated the hotel's location near the Skye Bridge. The social space included a nice bar area. The staff were friendly and efficient. I found the quality of food to be good and the service was always prompt.
My room required some redecorating. I only had one bedside lamp. I asked for another but was told they only provide one per room because a customer had broken one the year prior.
