Hotel was close enough to walk to the city but distant enough to where you could enjoy the peace. Staff was very nice and helpful with our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly while they were attending to us. Would recommend to others to stay here.

Not 4 Star. Way too expensive. Pathways to pods, rocky and uneven. Breakfast, can't think of one that was worse. Plus, Staff were friendly and helpfull.

It’s a long walk from car to your chalet. The staff will take luggage up but not you. Hot old pretty quickly. Skye is a pricey market but no way this place is worth the cost.
Restaurant and staff are great. The town is not very nice.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The staff at the front desk was so helpful, and so quick to address any question or concern. My meals were excellent as was the service in the dining room and bar. The Sauna/cold plunge experience was exceptional and the coziness of my cabin cannot be paralleled. I cannot speak more highly of this experience, book it!

The cabins were small but very cosy, lovely towels for shower and very nice toiletries, bed was very comfortable. There was a great choice at breakfast, we ate twice in the evening at the hotel and like breakfast it was all freshly cooked and very generous portions, food was first class! Staff were attentive and very friendly! We loved our stay and would love to stay again!

So let me start with what they never mentioned in their listings or ads, all of these pods, and I would describe them as luxury pods, are located a couple hundred yards from the main building up a hill that you must travel through gravel to get to. We arrived after dark when a porter is not normally available to transport your bags up to your pod. It is very poorly lit around the hotel entrance and it is not immediately known if you’re parking in the correct area and where to go and what to do because the signage is so bad. We managed to get through it and the pod was very nice but can you imagine if someone has special needs or is elderly? There is no way they could climb this hill and pull their bags in the dark over gravel. Definitely not worth the price tag in my opinion!!
