Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed the aesthetics of our room and the incredible view, as well as the proximity to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t get the most restful sleep, though - the bed coils were noticeable (but supportive) and the walls are relatively thin so any noise from the halls or neighboring rooms was audible. The staff was attentive, but there was a shift in tone when we opted to get dinner and breakfast elsewhere (not at the hotel). We still had a nice stay and would recommend it to others.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in Scotland for 8 days and this property won "worst hotel" award for the week. It had the feel of a Motel 6 with super outdated furnishings and worn out carpet. The towels were dirty looking and worn out. The shower leaked when you used it and it was a room you wanted to keep you bare feet off of the carpet. The location was beautiful but I would not stay here again and would not encourage others to either. This property is in massive need of renovation and it was WAY TOO expensive for the money. We stayed in Double Tree Hotels for a 3rd of the money and got a way better value. Thumbs down on this one!

Wonderful Mallaig stay

We had a one night stay en route to Eigg. We were amazed at how good our stay was it was.fantastic value. Extremely comfortable bed with all facilities clean and good quality, great shower, unsurpassable views from our bedroom windows! Bar and restaurant service and food were excellent, although it was an incredibly busy night in the restaurant, the staff were so hard working and attentive. Thank you.

Spotlessly clean hotel and nice well stocked bar. Room was very hot - we are experiencing a heat wave so perhaps closing blinds prior to guest check in would be helpful esp in second floor. Towel rail on full and radiator in corridor added to the heat. An uncomfortable night

Overall was good, the bed needed to be replaced as it was older, some cleaning issues but it’s an older hotel that was a bit dated, we didn’t really take points off for this as we expected it. That said, Mallaig itself is wonderful, we loved it - the small fishing town made us want to move there, walkable and quaint - it reminded us of a place we lived on the west coast of Canada. The food… wow. The restaurant right next to the hotel (also a pub and inn) was lively, we think the cook was drunk that day due to an engagement they were celebrating and locals in the bar sang a song that must have been in Gaelic as we understand it, but was awesome to be part of. Back to the cook, our food took a bit longer to come out that planned and we were a bit worried at first - until it came out. I had the seafood chowder and wife had Cullin Skink - the presentation and flavour of the chowder was amazing, all I can figure as to how it took longer is they went out to grab fresh mussels and scallops when we ordered as it was the best I have ever had (and we live on the west coast), and the Cullin Skink was thick chowdery and flavorful, all we could think of for days was this meal - we tried every pubs Cullin skink and were disappointed as none came close… Mallaig, we will definitely be back - the highlight of our Scotland trip just happened to be the ferry port town we stayed the night before we went to Isle of Skye, such a gem.
