Liked: The staff were friendly and approachable. Gwen, in particular, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, providing valuable guidance on places to visit and things to do. The lodge itself was cosy and well-maintained, and the hot tub was a nice addition—though the 30-minute usage limit was somewhat restrictive. The food was tasty - though overpriced.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the location of our lodge was a major letdown. We’d booked with the promise of a sea view, only to find ourselves overlooking a busy, noisy car park. Every morning, we were woken early by cars arriving on the gravel drive, making it hard to get a peaceful start to the day.There were also inconsistencies with the staff’s knowledge of policies and the local area. When I initially called, I was told our £25 pet fee would cover the whole stay, but upon departure, we were charged £25 per night. We also received mixed messages about where our dog was allowed, with one staff member permitting her in the sitting room one night, and another redirecting us to the bar the next night.The Disappointing:We found the cost of food at the lodge’s restaurant to be excessive. Having had an excellent meal which included drinks, starters and mains for £80 elsewhere on Skye (Red Skye with incredible food being one of these), paying the same price here for just two main dishes felt like a poor deal. Breakfast, while good, didn’t stand out enough to justify its high price (£22.50) compared to other nearby options that offered similar quality at a more reasonable cost.Lastly, for those interested in exploring the island, the lodge’s location isn’t ideal; expect to drive around 45 minutes each day to reach popular sights. Aside from Gwen, staff weren’t particularly familiar with the local area, which made it challenging to get advice on nearby activities or walks.Summary:While this lodge has some appeal with its comfortable amenities and friendly atmosphere, the noise, high prices, and inconsistent service made it less enjoyable than we had hoped.

Disliked: Very expensive for the level facilities on site stayed in room 3 ,waste pipes from upstairs rooms heard flushing continuous through the night also the banging of a door as if wind was blowing it very basic no background music in tiny bar area needs some thought into there pricing

Penny pinching con

Liked: Staff
Disliked: The advertisement said hotel backed onto forests so I assumed we could walk in them, but on arrival was told only walk was to beach, except dangerous road. Very disappointing and rendered stay pointlessWhen asked for latte at dinner, was told that would cost extra. My mouth was left hanging open with amazement. Sad.The room itself was a health and safety hazard due to arches in places

Good

Disliked: Not nearly as good as sister hotel Skeabost
