We absolutely loved it here. The staff are wonderful, very helpful and friendly. The room was lovely overlooking the castle and harbour. The breakfast was all freshly cooked and delicious. We could not fault any of it would definitely recommend.

The room was spacious and clean, but needed soundproofing. The bathroom needed a tub. The view of the castle was very nice. The restaurant was bustling, the food was tasty. The staff were friendly.

Tired. In need of refurbishment. Reception staff were first class ....went the extra mile. Restaurant staff at breakfast were disinterested. Quality of buffet was ok but uninspiring. No lift, so be careful if you have heavy luggage. Car parking tight and not obvious to find. Remember you are on the Outer Isles😃😃😃😃
