I love this hotel! Traveling through the UK we’ve stayed in a couple “iffy” places with bad water pressure and cramped rooms. This hotel room is really wonderful as is the staff and restaurant.

Very happy with our overnight stay. Clean and comfortable.Food in the restaurant and breakfast was really good with excellent choice.
Our room was lovely with a big comfy bed and the bathroom shower was very roomy. The only downside was the heating was hard to control.

Staff excellent, room has seen better days!
Staff and service were all excellent! They really welcomed us and our dog and couldn’t do enough for us. Unfortunately the room we were allocated was in a poor condition and was tiny! Really only suitable for 1 person l, not 2 plus a dog. Room very dated and not particularly clean and was nothing like the pictures on the website.
This really was our only gripe but meant that we did not sleep well enough. Otherwise the parking, food, area all great.

This was an overnight stop from the Isle of Skye to the ferry at Cairnryan. No doubt the hotel is somewhat dated but what it made up for it with its great staff and lovely food (great pizzas for dinner and the full Scotch breakfast was perfect). Very dog friendly and has a few charging points for EV's. Nothing much else to do in Crainlarich unless you are going hiking. Would ahve no hesitation staying here again.

The room was a bit dated and small, but the hotel lobby, restaurant, bar and lounges were wonderful. One of the better breakfasts we had in Scotland. Staff was spectacular. Definitely recommend.

Room was a nice size, wonderful view, comfortable chairs to look out the window to look at the view. Great selection for breakfast ranging from light fare to full cooked breakfast. Ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious and the presentation great.
Would certainly book again if I was visiting the area again

We broke up our journey to Skye by staying here for the night. We had evening meal snd breakfast which were both excellent. The staff were very friendly and the room was very comfortable. We did book a double room but were given a twin but no big deal,the beds were very comfy so we didn’t mention it

Civilisation in a rural setting
This was a very nice overnight stay. The room was very small with the bathroom in a cupboard, but it all worked. The staff were very pleasant. Parking was across the road, but you could use the space in front of the hotel to unload and repack the car. The meals were good.
