Guest Reviews

- David (8/5): - Small hotel in stunning location.
Amazing meal in the restaurant.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Ianhank1 (10/5): -
- Neil (10/5): - The Kippers I chose for breakfast were absolutely fabulous, as was the view from our bedroom window as we watch a storm front pass over.
- Guest (10/5): Welcoming hosts, good accommodation and good food and drink available. - Welcoming owners. Room had a homely warm feeling. Good bathroom facilities including real soap!
Inclusive breakfast was excellent and kept us going for the day. Nothing.
- Jana (9/5): -
- Travis (8/5): Charming! -

- John (10/5): I would definitely stay there again and hopefully be able to spend more time with them. - Very nice property in a very remote and small village. Unfortunately, we had to leave so early on the ferry the next morning we did not get to enjoy the included breakfast that was offered. David was instrumental in helping us get a ticket on the ferry to the Isle of sky the next day, as we had not previously booked it and it was almost fully booked. We were only there for one short night, however, Everything was excellent including the room and location. The staff were very friendly and went overboard to help us get on the ferry even allowing us to print our tickets there and putting them in a waterproof, plastic sleeve as it was raining dreadfully.
- Paola De Gobbi (9/5): - Ottima camera, stile classico rustico, con tutto quel che serviva. Buona colazione con la possibilità di ordinare a menù. Abbondante nonostante non fosse un buffet con tutto a disposizione.
Bellissima la posizione di fronte a un porticciolo, con ristorante, supermercato, anche un ufficio postale! Anche se lontana dal centro abitato di Mullag. La struttura era un po' datata, bella l'atmosfera un po' "antica" e funzionale ma avrebbe bisogno di piccole sistemazioni.
Nella nostra camera i letti erano accoglienti, nelle altre due i materassi avrebbero bisogno di una... rimestata.
- alasdair (8/5): -
- Steinhäuser (9/5): - Sehr schönes, großes Zimmer, gemütlich und komfortabel. Sehr ruhige Lage direkt am Meer, kaum Autoverkehr.

- Gerrit (7/5): Mooie ligging, extra’s op de kamer maar eten prijzig en kleine porties. - Mooie ligging aan het water. Verzorgde kamer met goede douche, zeepproducten en kleine extra details. Vriendelijke ontvangst en bediening. Lekker eten in restaurant. Slechte wifi overal en tv zonder internetfaciliteiten. Eten nogal prijzig en kleine porties. Kleine portie ook bij het ontbijt en de koffie die je extra vroeg was een flauw afkooksel.

- Massimiliano (9/5): Bella serata in un posticino raccolto - Posizione e la stanza molto spaziosa , ben curata Piccola osservazione sul materasso che forse andrebbe cambiato, ad ogni movimento saltava una molla , seppur ricoperto da topper, si sentiva molto .

- Roland (9/5): Nette Unterkunft mit tollem Essen - Die Gastgeber waren unfassbar freundlich und das Abendessen war sehr sehr gut.

/
Wonderful British traditional house and room, very well refurbished, very comfortable and clean in a spectacular location in front of the sea, with amazing views from the house, the courtyard and the room windows.
Marvelous Scottish highland breakfast.
100 mtrs/few yards to the city pub and the boat cruises.
It is also located in one of the cities where the Jacobite Steam Train, known in Harry Potter movies, is stopping by. Anything at all.

- Joan (10/5): More than worth every penny, definitely would go back! - It was a lovely place and spotlessly clean. The hotel smelled lovely and fresh throughout. The owners were very nice, friendly, helpful and welcoming. The rooms were well equipped with plenty of toiletries, tea and coffee facilities, bottled water, storage etc. Definitely value for money. The breakfast was one of the best we have had. Very tasty and very well presented. Would HIGHLY recommend it and will very likely be visiting again. There’s is nothing you could say negative about it
- Gulin (8/5): -
- Aldoallau67 (7/5): Moins bien qu'espéré - Très bel emplacement, chambre spacieuse et lit king size mais matelas à ressort... Petit déjeuner et repas du soir décevant par leur rationnement et leur qualité. Les moins bons de tout notre séjour en Écosse.
