Great place to spend the night while exploring the small town of Mallaig. Next time I’ll book during summer when more ferry routes align with train schedules. Beautiful hotel and beautiful scenery!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Parking good. Downstairs lounge/bar area was good. Dinner was really great. Place needed some TLC.second floor rooms less than great. Most of staff were good.
The hotel was clean, nice bar area, easy distance to the ferry and convenient parking. Only downside was loud music from the bar until it closed which was midnight
