Top Scottish Islands Hotel Reviews

Bracken Hide Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room or hut was small but fine for 1 person. Two people would be tight. View was fantastic. Food was excellent. Great breakfast menu. A lot of uphill walks to huts but most visitors are there on Isle of Skye to hike. It was expensive but Scotland seemed expensive to me."

Sligachan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Are at the adjoining restaurant both nights. Perfect location for everything Isle of Skye."

The Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely setting. Folks who have difficulty walking would have major trouble here. I was disappointed in some of the food. I was very disappointed that we could not access the pool when we wanted to. Great for the community kids, but definitely should not be listed as a hotel amenity."

Eilean Iarmain

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and room. Staff very nice and helpful. No tv in room. A bit overpriced"

Caladh Inn

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at Caladh in Stornoway. The location was perfect, as we arrived late off the ferry into Stornoway. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay."

Duisdale House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late, they were just about to wrap up serving dinner. Manager said just sit at the bar - have a drink and eat your dinner first then we will take care of the luggages. They took our order and served us delicious steaks, wine and then helped us with our luggage. They did all this smoothly and naturally, which made us feel very welcomed. Breakfast was great, not elaborately large spread, but enough of each category to meet our 10 veggie and protein intake targets effortlessly and delicately. Overall we couldn’t be happier and left very satisfied with the service, food and our clean, large cottage. If we come back to Highland Scotland we will definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone also."

Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very busy tourist hotel filled with German bus groups who staff looked after well as well as looking after different needs of a solo Brit traveller. Liked it a lot. Thank you."

The Flodigarry Hotel in the Skye

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. The setting is spectacular, the views are incredible, and the grounds are lovely. We really enjoyed taking the time to explore the property. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very well appointed. We especially appreciated the unlimited water, hot chocolate, tea, and Nespresso pods. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was wonderful, and having electrical outlets on every wall was surprisingly convenient. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast could not have been better. The staff truly made our stay special. Everyone was friendly and attentive, but we would particularly like to mention Cat and Frazier at the front desk. They were exceptionally welcoming, accommodating, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The magnificent setting, comfortable accommodations, excellent food, and outstanding staff made this a truly memorable stay. We would gladly recommend this hotel."
