Jenny and Martin were great hosts - provided lots of travel hints and good hospitality. Excellent location with good views across the water. Very good value. Martin's suggestions for travel to Inveree and Rum were spot on - enjoyed both places. We were sorry not to be able to have a 3rd night here because they were full.

We were fortunate to get the last room. The proprietors were very helpful and we were soon in a very large family room. Everything was as we would expect from a b&b. Helpful advice on places to eat was supplied. The views are astounding. The breakfast was superb especially my wife's kippers. Mallaig is a busy place so it might... More

After visiting this guesthouse I am sure that many of the negative comments were from guests who do not often stay in hotels or guesthouses. This is a bed and breakfast, not an hotel and is value for money. One comment about names on the door was ludicrous. If this had said "Eigg Room", "Muck Room" or "Skye Room" I... More

Very friendly and welcoming and in a great location for rail and ferry connections. Good choice of breakfast menu, the full-English is superb. Very clean throughout. Enjoyed it so much I have booked to return in a few weeks time. You will not find better value for money.

The Moorings has a great location overlooking the harbour at Mallaig, but that is about the only really good point. Unfortunately, the rest of it is just another mediocre UK B&B. Room, adequate but tired. Bathroom, adequate but tired. Food, adequate. Value for money? Adequate. I would probably use it again if I had to, but none too impressed overall.... More

When I read the reviews on here after booking this B&B I was a bit worried but that was unnecessary. The place is like a blast from the past in terms of decor and they could do with updating the rooms so they have bigger beds but Jenny & her husband were very welcoming and friendly, he even gave us...

I was traveling with my fiancee and we did a 1 night stop over in Mallaig. Unfortunately the timing wasn't in our favour seeing as how there were 2 weddings happening and almost every hotel, hostel, and B&B were full. After about the 6th rejection we found the Moorings B&B with 2 rooms left. The woman running the place was... More

Jenny was wonderful, we had everything you would expect from a B&B. The breakfast was good (and very big for us) and arrived son enough and there was and infinite supply of toast.We were told exactly what was on offer for breakfast (contrary to one of the reviews). It's in a beautiful position, with good Access to the local restaurants... More

We enjoyed our stay at The Moorings. We requested a room with a view over the sea and it was good to be able to see the boats and the activity in the harbour from our comfortable room. Jenny is friendly and helpful, and the whole house was very clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful (if you want cereal to... More
