skye bridge views and easy access

great locationflawless breakfastclean roomfree parking
I found the hotel better than expected, considering some reviews. the location impressed me, and breakfast was flawless. the room itself was quite clean. I appreciated this. i enjoyed watching the skye bridge from the breakfast room. It was lovely. there was a huge free car park next to the hotel. It also had an electric car charger available.
i could hear every breath from the next room. it feels like the walls are made of paper, made sleeping hard

Rooms

the double room was clean, and spacious enough. the updated bathroom was in great condition. bedding seemed clean, but the quilt was a sad, flat pancake affair.
Location

the hotel has a nice, central location with good access to the rest of skye. all places of interest on the island are easily accessible. across the bridge, there is a supermarket open till 10 p.m., a short drive away.
