This was a very nice overnight stay. The room was very small with the bathroom in a cupboard, but it all worked. The staff were very pleasant. Parking was across the road, but you could use the space in front of the hotel to unload and repack the car. The meals were good.

Room was a nice size, wonderful view, comfortable chairs to look out the window to look at the view. Great selection for breakfast ranging from light fare to full cooked breakfast. Ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious and the presentation great. Would certainly book again if I was visiting the area again

The staff at the hotel were so friendly and welcoming to my dog. Although the decor in the room is older and basic the standard of cleanliness was impressive and made me so comfortable. It’s such a shame the current economic climate seems to have caused the hotel to close during lunch time as the bar is so pleasant it would have been lovely to stay for a little while. I’d recommend the hotel to anyone and will definitely return. To stress, the friendliness and cleanliness are so impressive!

This was an overnight stop from the Isle of Skye to the ferry at Cairnryan. No doubt the hotel is somewhat dated but what it made up for it with its great staff and lovely food (great pizzas for dinner and the full Scotch breakfast was perfect). Very dog friendly and has a few charging points for EV's. Nothing much else to do in Crainlarich unless you are going hiking. Would ahve no hesitation staying here again.

Staff and service were all excellent! They really welcomed us and our dog and couldn’t do enough for us. Unfortunately the room we were allocated was in a poor condition and was tiny! Really only suitable for 1 person l, not 2 plus a dog. Room very dated and not particularly clean and was nothing like the pictures on the website. This really was our only gripe but meant that we did not sleep well enough. Otherwise the parking, food, area all great.

Hotel is older in need of repairs. Sheets not that clean, no extra blankets available and wall paper peeling off. Staff was nice, only hotel in area, restaurant was fair but overpriced.

Old shabby hotel. Staff lovely couldn’t do enough.breakfast good. The electric charge points may not work. The hotel is very old run down and grubby. The rooms very small and smelt of urine. The bathroom very small dated and the door was almost like a cupboard! The whole place is passable if you had you to chose between sleeping in a tent or indoors however for £140 pound a night absolutely no way. Over priced old smelly bed sheets had stained on and holes!!!
