I was on the Isle of Skye for three days and stayed here two nights.
The staff are hard-working and helped to make it an enjoyable stay. This place is about a 15min walk out of the downtown area.
I liked that the people staying there were from all over Europe and the rest of the world. I had one dinner there and two breakfasts. The morning meal is nice because you can order off the menu from a list of standard Scottish breakfast items, but because they have a cook/chef, you can also order what you want a la carte. Scottish eggs are very good. Considering the prix-fixe prices for dinner, it was a great value.
Two things that kept me from rating it higher. First, I ordered a room with a king-size bed. In the U.S., that means a SINGLE king-size mattress. Here, they just push two single beds together. I ordered and paid for a king size bed so that I can sleep in the middle. In this case, sleeping in the middle was impossible, so had to pick one side. If I wanted to sleep on a small mattress, I would have vacationed at Mom’s house.
Second, the bathrooms are tiny, especially the shower. You have to climb in and close yourself in.
I am not a large man but still could not shower without constantly hitting my elbows, knees, or head on the plastic enclosure.
You also cannot dry your hair near the mirror. You have to dry your hair in the bedroom. One good thing in the bathroom was the towel heater. Two people in this room would be a tight squeeze.
