Good place to stay for one night. The pictures are taken in such a way that I don’t feel it really represents the property, they look more picturesque than it actually is. The breakfast was good. The staff was okay, not really welcoming.

Charming hotel, very old, but not same standard as
London or Edinburgh. Diner at the Restaurant is really good. We chose this hotel because it was near of the ferry for Isle of Skye… unfortunately the ferry was not in service (engine issue)… so 2 hour and a half road trip to get to Quiraing instead… so make sure ferry is in operation if you want to stay in this hotel to get to Isle of Skye

My room was basic and small but priced accordingly for the area. Totally comfortable with a single bed and its own bathroom with shower stall. No elevator which didn’t bother me. Parking in site fills up to capacity every night. Great location to explore the region or use the ferry to get to Skye. Manager was very responsive and accommodating. Good dining room and menu. Would stay again especially again.

Location was good on our way to Skye. Bed was terrible. Could feel every spring. Terrible nights sleep. No water in room. For the price not great.

When every thing was booked up we ended up staying at Morar Hotel for three nights instead of one. We had to do some room switching here and there as each night was booked separately due to our situation and they were most helpful in the process. It is a bit of a budget place but the location is lovely and the views amazing. The staff were great and the food was good in the restaurant. On the last night my room was a little unclean (crumbs on the floor and desk shelf) but I was tired and it really made no big difference to me, again the view was there! Overall I would recommend a stay here as there are not a ton of options in the area and things book up far in advance.

One night stay to put me in the right position for onward travel, perfect for that being so conveniently located opposite the train station.
Had an early start so didn't have breakfast, but did enjoy a nice evening meal of steak pie and chips, with a great view from the restaurant.
Struggled a bit to get my room at the right temperature and didn't sleep brilliantly, but I don't think that was the fault of the hotel, rather my travel plans meant a 6am train and I was focussed too much on when I needed to get up.
Pleasant and helpful staff on reception and in the restaurant.
I shall certainly be coming back to spend a bit longer and explore the beach and some of the other villages along the railway line.

Great location as a jumping off point for Skye. The food was very, very good. And the views from the dining area were lovely. I did appreciate that the hotel took measures to be energy efficient. This is very important in today’s world. However, I did not like the light in the bathroom turning off when I was in the middle of a shower. I take rather hasty showers so imagine my shock when I’m left in the dark and waving my arms to no avail. You have to exit the shower to trigger the lights. Great staff, super friendly and helpful. Maybe adjust those light settings a little bit.
