Top Isle of Rum Hotel Reviews

West Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. Unfortunately travel delays cut our trip short but this was a very nice property in a cute seaside town."

Chlachain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Less than a five minute walk from the train station and the ferry. Run by a bunch of very happy guys who also run the attached bar restaurant. My room was spacious and modern with a great bathroom and great hot water. To top it off it there was a wide selection of a breakfast menu which was also included in a very reasonable price. Plenty of restaurants and shops and a supermarket are very close. All in all I had a great day stay in Mallaig and would come back to this inn and I highly recommend it."

Anneth Glamping Pod

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location & view. Impeccably clean. Sat on the deck & enjoyed the sunset."

Morar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Recent remodel so room was modern, warm if you liked, and full shower. Staff was very friendly. We had the curry for dinner. Very good."

Sligachan Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel in a gorgeous location next to Sligachan Bridge with beautiful views! The hotel has a great restaurant and bar that we really enjoyed and the food was excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly in the hotel and the restaurant. Room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Only negative is the hotel was under construction while we were there so that was a little unsightly."

Kilchoan House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was super. My wife particularly enjoyed the porridge. Portions were large. Room was clean & staff friendly. Bed wasn’t that comfortable so didn’t sleep particularly well. A bit too soft and springy for me as I like a good firm mattress. Room was very hot. Didn’t look like we could open a window but to be fair I didn’t ask. One thing they may wish to consider is to put a mirror in the room & not just in the en-suite. My wife dries her hair without her glasses on and couldn’t see herself from where the hairdresser plugs in to the mirror in the bathroom. This was a family room number 1."

Kinloch Ainort Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful stay! Location was perfect with incredible views of the mountains, waterfalls in the distance, lake and sheep grazing right outside our yard. Peaceful and relaxing. Close to Sligachan bridge, and 30 mins away from Portree. Loved our stay here. Selection of coffee was nice in the morning and full kitchen to cook our own breakfast and dinner. Hosts were warm and friendly and even allowed us to use their laundry to refresh halfway on our trip, thank you! Recommend booking for multiple nights to really appreciate being so close to nature. We will be back."

Glenbrittle Youth Hostel

8/10 Good

"The room is nice and clean."

Toravaig House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nicely presented property with most helpful staff. Our best stay by far on Skye"
