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.

It is a lovely property, however, my husband has a mobility challenge and there were many stairs to navigate without any mobility options. Otherwise it was outstanding.

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.
