Hotel berhampiran Cill Chriosd, Pulau Skye

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at Duisdale House Hotel. Our room was comfortable and very accommodating. The dining room food and service were excellent and the staff really stand out. Special thanks to Sarah, Neal, Laura, Clara, Dominic, Ishbel, and the young dark-haired man who assisted waiting on our table but whose name we didn’t confirm. I can’t recall a hotel where the staff is so well cross-trained on various roles - it’s truly impressive. If you’re planning to be on the Isle of Skye and need a relaxing place to stay, you will love this place.

We enjoyed our stay at Toravaig. Our room was lovely, with perhaps the comfiest bed of our entire Scotland stay. The view out of our window was pretty, with a ***** of the ocean being visible above the trees. The desk clerk Casper was friendly and welcoming. It was pleasant sitting in the lounge with a drink one evening and chatting with him. Our only issue was that no one had told us that we needed to leave our key at the desk in order to have our room cleaned, so it was disappointing after our first night to return to a room with an unmade bed and wet towels (and housekeeping gone for the day)--so be aware that you need to leave your key when you leave, and all will be well! We ate dinner one night at the sister hotel, Duisdale, and it was an exceptional meal. Try the panna cotta for dessert! Also highly recommend a visit to the Armadale castle and the museum and acres of lovely gardens with the huge variety of enormous old trees.

I really hate to write a bad review, but there was just so little to like about our stay at the Isle of Skye Guest House. I chalk this up to me being a cheapskate and not understanding the Skye market, so DO YOUR RESEARCH. However, I will note that I saw quite a few similar facilities as we drove around the island -- a lot of tired looking inns that probably cost a pretty penny and were proudly displaying ”no vacancy” signs in early September. I started my search for lodging about 10 months in advance of our trip and quickly discovered that many options were already full, cost more than I wanted to pay, or both. So I ended up booking the Isle of Skye Guest House and there you have it. Read the other reviews -- they're all true. Our room was really small, had no storage space, and provided one of the worst beds I've slept on as an adult: the mattress was mushy, sagging, and thoroughly uncomfortable. The walls were thin, the windows old and single pane, and the bathroom so small you had to close the door before you could turn around. Worst of all, the shower flooded and we had to use all our towels to sop up the water. And, as others have noted: there's no staff on site. If I ever find myself staying on Skye again, it won't be here. It's not that it was terrible or unsafe or not clean -- it's just that it wasn't at all what I wanted or expected for the money spent. So spend more -- it'll be worth it!

I've read many of the reviews for Sligichan and while I can appreciate and understand why many have reported poor experiences, I think one has to put this property into perspective. Could the hotel use a few upgrades? Sure. Does Seumas' restaurant have the best food you will have in Scotland? No. Does everyone love their job at Seumas'? Probably not. But considering the location, the ambience, and the customer service from most of the staff, I rate this property highly. For those from the US that have reported that the property is overpriced, have you ever stayed at a property on or near a National Park? I've paid way more for a room at a NP that had no amenities and a 20 year old mattress! The property is clean, quiet, and the our bathroom was recently renovated. Additionally, the breakfasts in the AM were great, and if you have a custom order they are more than accommodating. A special shout out goes to Martin who I assume is the General Manager or something similar. While it is not necessarily a good thing for a property to have one person who can make your experience special, Martin is that person. I also had the occasion to connect with Martin after our visit and his customer service was as good after I left as it was when we were there in person. Thanks, Martin! I would most definitely go back.

Amazing location and lovely room. The view of the bay is outstanding and one of the best sun sets I've seen in a long time. Breakfast was perfect although the volume of the death metal music coming out of the kitchen was a bit much at 8am. But would definitely stay again!

We were visiting family and 4 of us dined here. Firstly my fish was uncooked and I politely informed the waitress, I was given a new meal. By the time it came, everyone else had finished. We ordered tea after our meal and the bill was brought over. We were asked to leave our table to sit in the bar area to finish our teas and coffee???there was no table in the bar area and the waitress rudely told us, they needed our table! Why? No one was waiting! After spending over £70 I expect to be able to drink my tea after my meal without the bill being brought to us without asking for it! We hadn’t even finished and we were being told to move to the bar! Maybe if the fish hadn’t been undercooked, and sent back, we would have finished our meals quicker, even though, we had only been at the table about an hour! Shocking rude service! Will never recommend this place to anyone! Customer service was disgusting!
