Lovely overnight stay
Lovely stay and without asking recognized my husband was challenged and changed our room to accommodate us. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice, complimented with the lovely views. Nice bar very reasonably priced but sadly we were unable to try the restaurant as it's closed on friday.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff. Only a few wee niggles.. toilet seat didn’t fit and wasn’t secure, bathroom dark, mirror light didn’t work.. light bulb missing from over bed light… window wouldn’t open/ close ( hotel aware so fan supplied)… window blind wouldn’t go up in the morning correctly. Room very noisy in the morning due to other guests, thin walls. Saying this we would stay again.

Loved my stay!
This hotel was so lovely. I absolutely loved my stay. The hotel has some historic charm, which I loved. Even though it doesn't have an elevator, I made it through and would love to stay here again. The check-in process was very simple. The view from my window was gorgeous and worth every cent. My room was small, but had everything I needed. I also loved the terrace restaurant they have. It had an amazing view and the waitstaff was very kind. Mallaig is so peaceful and the hotel just added to it.

Good but not terrific.
Pleasant stay, fabulous views, my single bedroom in the garret was small but comfortable. Food excellent, but slow service. Rather pricey.

Give it a miss.
Dreadful overpriced food. The mattress was knackered and the room bin had not been emptied from the previous occupant.

Overall we had a nice 1- night stay at this hotel. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and the food in the restaurant at dinner was delicious. The hotel itself is a bit dated at first look, but that doesn't bother me as long as the rooms are clean. The only real downside for us was that there was no elevator, but that's manageable. The shower in our room was a bit wonky, as it went hot, cold, hot, cold without turning the nob, but we laughed it off. It was a shower experience. Haha

A lovely independent family owned hotel with a spectacular view from our room. Mallaig is also an underappreciated village, a quick transit point for many, it is definitely worth spending time there.

Definitely visit
The hotel was brilliant, check in very easy and shown the room and where everything was, very clean and comfy the only thing that caught my eye and nothing could be helped was, my room was out the back and the fire escape badly needed painting as it looked a sight which again nothing can be helped but it just looked out of place in a stunning setting. The restaurant was fantastic, really nice food, and generous portions..

8/10 Very Good

The situation is excellent - great views over the sea. The restaurant and terrace share the same outlook. We booked a ‘cosy double’ room, aware it would be small but the sloping ceilings made moving around a challenge without bumping your head. Could these rooms be cheaper with an explanation that the cost reflects the space issues?Both receptionists were exceptionally helpful. Other staff also nice. All were fairly young and, at least in the restaurant, would have benefitted from some direction/ oversight by more experienced staff. The food experience was a bit mixed. Fish a bit overcooked, Caesar salad overwhelmed a bit by lots of fresh tarragon and rosemary, but chicken nicely cooked. Portions were very generous, a bit too much for some things. The chips were great but one bowl is more than enough for two people. We ate less than half of ours and every table was the same, causing so much waste. We waited a long time after finishing our main course without anyone coming back to clear the table or offer dessert menus. When we caught the attention of one of the staff, they promptly brought us the bill, without the chance to order dessert. Wine was a bit do it yourself - if bottle was a screw top, diners were left to open it themselves. If not, it was opened, put back in the cooler without being poured or a taste offered. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great to have bins for recyclables in the room. Overall good, but could be better with some attention to detail.
