Stunning stay in Skye
Spectacular scenery, very kind staff, and many amenities onsite - restaurant, pub, boutique, and whisky shop. The included breakfast was very nice and our family of 4 was comfortable in the family suite. It was the best stop of our weeklong stay in Scotland.

Emily, Ava and Amy were wonderful. Their smiles and cheerfulness brightened our stay. We dined in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner each day. The food and service were amazing! We were a bit confused when arriving about where to check in and went to the bar. The nice gentleman in the bar helped us find our way. Staying here was a wonderful experience and a lovely part of our vacation. We hope to stay there again.
