I have stayed in many Hotels on the west coast of Scotland and they really are not up to scratch and unfortunately this one falls into that catergory too. The greeting I received at the reception was little more than glance in my direction and handed the key. No information about meal times or the usual wake up calls and... more

A bad start, with nobody on reception to greet us, despite there being staff in the "private office", we were ignored for nearly ten minutes. When someone did finally turn up, they looked at us as if we were something the cat had just dragged in. It has occurred to me since and after reading other reviews here, that this... more

On arriving there was no one on reception to great us. We had to wait 5 minutes or so for someone to appear.We were told that booking in wasn't until 4pm but gave us the keys anyway.They weren't very helpful in showing us to our rooms. The rooms were small but comfortable and the bathrooms need updating.The toilet needed several... more

20 Aug 2009 | Trip type: Friends getaway

We arrived at 3:15 PM and were unsmilingly shooed away without welcome and told our rooms wouldn't be ready until 4:00 and to come back then. We were travelling with friends. Their shower did not work; our toilet's flushing mechanism did not work reliably. Our room lacked a closet or any space for hanging clothes. The hotel's grounds are little... more

There was so much about this place that could have been really good.... To be fair the hotel was one of the cheapest places we stayed on our weeks tour round the West Highlands, so to compare it with some of the places we paid more for is an unfair comparison Its conveniently situated in Kyleakin just over the Skye... more

This place had a lot of character, in a good way that fit with Skye. Our room was actually in a separate building from the main house and was nice and quiet. The only thing I didn't like was it was one of those places where the two beds are pushed together to make one. The common areas are awesome.... more

Rooms crowded, creaky, and rustic, although basically serviceable and, I'm sure, ever-so-charming if you're into that sort of thing. No A/C, no window screens, therefore flying insects in room. Set in a pretty garden at the roundabout just across the bridge onto the island. Walking distance to the little village of Kyleakin. Very good food at breakfast and dinner; service... more

From the hearty greeting to the great kitchen, the stay was most enjoyable and welcome. On a three day Highland Experience tour and arranged to stay at the Mackinnon Hotel. Wonderful warm surroundings and rooms, fire in the fireplace and sparkling glass and silver in the dining room. Great little inhouse bar. Thanks to Ian and Carol. more

I can't say enough about this wonderful hotel. The low key, relaxed atmosphere was refreshing and this place quickly felt like home. The room was a little small for my taste at first but it was well appointed and free wi-fi is available in the rooms but the real highpoint was the large, newly remodeled bathroom with the large whirlpool... more

We had a lovely two night stay here whilst touring Scotland. The hotel is charming and the food is wonderful. The chef is a real gem - he went out of his way to prepare food for us as we are vegetarian. The food was so beautifully presented that I took photographs of it to remind us how special it... more
