The hotel is located right next to the Skye bridge, offering a unique setting in the highlands with spacious gardens. The rooms could use some improvement, as they weren't in the best condition, and I encountered a rude receptionist during my stay. The dining experience featured nicely served meals and delightful French pastries, but the overall service experience left something to be desired. Despite these issues, the value for money was reasonable.

The hotel has a great location, being very close to the bridge to the Isle of Skye, making it quite convenient for exploring the area. The rooms, however, left much to be desired as they were in really poor condition and could have been cleaner. The service was a bit disappointing due to a rude receptionist, but the dining experience was quite nice with fresh farm-to-table products. Overall, it offers decent value for money given the location, but the issues with the room and service were quite concerning.

The hotel offered a great location near the Skye bridge and was cheaper than some B&Bs on the island, making it a good value overall. The rooms were spacious and well-suited for four adults, but the service left something to be desired due to a rude receptionist. The dining experience with fresh, made-from-scratch pizza was a highlight, but the location had an odd slope that took some getting used to.
