Quaint B&B, Kyleakin I'd a small town so the hotel is within walking distance to the two pubs in town, very beautiful location and the view from the room over the water was lovely. Hosts were super friendly and cooked breakfast to your liking and time. Room was lovely, bathroom decent size. The only down side is paper thin walls as you can hear the TV in other room and conversations in neighbouringroom, but I think that was more them having the TV up super loud and them speaking loud.

The was an extremely comfortable B&B with a spacious room and bathroom, a nice view, and absolutely amazing owners running the place. They were very friendly, provided a tasty breakfast, and seem to run the place very well. It was extremely clean, and the downstairs parlors had board games and trivia games we enjoyed. Would highly recommend as a home base from which to travel the Isle of Skye.

We enjoyed our stay at your hotel. Thank you for the lovely breakfast and hospitality. It was a warm and comfortable environment. And the view of the harbour was fantastic. The hotel was very clean and organized.. The sitting rooms were filled with books and great information for guest about the area.

Welcoming and lovely proprietress who took the time to find us a driver to take us around Skye and walk us through the intricacies of booking ferry rides and trains (after our tour company went bankrupt and left us high and dry). But enough about that! The hotel is just lovely, overlooking Saucy Mary’s ruined castle. The rooms are clean and spacious with thoughtful amenities like organic tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The bathrooms are gorgeous! The bed and pillows were nicer than the ones I have at home. Slept like a baby. And the complimentary breakfast, served in the seaside breakfast room is very good. Five-plus stars!

Stopped at the White Heather Hotel desperate for a room as our original reservation at another guest house was not what we expected and it was a room with a single bed for two female friends traveling together. After stopping at several hotels and guest houses without any vacancies, the owners of the White Heather were so kind to helps us call around to get us a room and they finally did. I will forever be grateful to them and I would recommend their place despite the fact that we never stayed there, it was truly Scottish hospitality and kindness, thank you again!

Gillian and her husband are wonderful hosts. Breakfast was delicious. We had many lovely chats. The lounge area was welcoming and comfortable. Another traveler and I shared some wine, cider and our life stories. They offer a kitchenette for visitor use so you can heat up a meal or keep something cold. Please consider this Bed and Breakfast, you won't be disappointed.

Stayed at The White Heather Hotel for 2 nights whilst on a tour of the West Highlands and Skye. We were given a very friendly and warm welcome. I had a lovely room, with a super view over the harbour. A huge choice for breakfast, which you order the night before, there is also a small guest kitchen that you can use, no oven, but it has a microwave, the hotel don't serve evening meals, there are however a selection of eateries nearby which you can walk to.
