Top Isle of Rum Hotel Reviews

Chlachain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great one night stay at the Clachain Inn. We had arrived wanting a bit of people space and our room delivered that space and haven after the journey in by train. The room was clean, the highland soap toiletries were great. The bed was comfortable. We ate in the inn for dinner which had a good choice and delicious food, we also took advantage of the breakfast which was included in our overnight stay. This was absolutely delicious and survived the full day on this alone. We would stay again."

Beautiful Old Croft House in the Isle of Skye with great sea views

10/10 Excellent

"The Old Croft House was a delight. Beautifully clean in stunning surroundings, this lovely house has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. We saw seals, deer, eagles, otters and made friends with the cows in the neighbouring field. The road in from Armadale is twisty and care is needed.The Armadale Store is well stocked and Armadale Castle, Cafe and Gardens are a lovely place to spend an afternoon. The Aird of Sleat is remote but not isolated - there are plenty of neighbouring cottages- but do allow for extra travel time to drive to other places on the island- narrow roads with passing places, as well as sheep and cows on the road, do slow you down. The beach at the Point of Sleat is stunning, and well worth the walk there. Travelling back to the mainland on the ferry to Mallaig is straightforward and be sure not to miss the Hogwarts Express travelling over the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Our week in the Old Croft House was unforgettable. Thank you to the hosts for sharing their wonderful cottage."

Sligachan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a beautiful location, near mountain views, a quaint bridge and river. The hotel has a restaurant attached with amazing food. Breakfast was well worth it. The room itself was newly updated. It had a fan, radiator, heated towel racks, and a very comfortable bed. They had cute snacks, water, and hot cocoa in the room!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Isle Of Rum?

The best area to stay on the Isle of Rum is Kinloch, which is the island's only village and main settlement.

Kinloch is located on the eastern side of the island and is home to the pier where ferries arrive. It's the central point for visitors, offering the island's only shop, a community hall, and the impressive Kinloch Castle. The village is small and easily explored on foot, with paths leading to the castle and surrounding natural areas. For all travelers, Kinloch is the practical choice as it's the hub of activity and accommodation on Rum.

Couples looking for a unique and secluded getaway will find Kinloch appealing. The village provides direct access to walking trails into the Rum National Nature Reserve, offering opportunities for wildlife spotting and enjoying the island's rugged beauty.

When is the best time to go to Isle Of Rum?

The best time to visit the Isle of Rum is during the warmer months, specifically from May to September, when the weather is most favorable for outdoor activities and wildlife viewing.

May and June offer longer daylight hours and drier conditions, making them ideal for hiking the island's trails, spotting rare seabirds, and exploring the impressive Kinloch Castle. The island's red deer population is also very active during this period, providing excellent viewing opportunities for nature enthusiasts.

For travelers interested in marine wildlife, July and August are excellent months. The waters around Rum are often calmer, which is superb for boat trips to see seals, dolphins, and even whales. These months also provide the warmest temperatures for exploring the island's beaches and coastal paths.

September offers a quieter experience with fewer visitors, but still plenty of mild weather for enjoying the outdoors.
