Altnacealgach Motel

Altnacealgach Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Such a beautiful place to stay! All the rooms face the Loch and have kitchenettes with fridge microwave and hot plate. We didn’t even use the kitchen and instead had an amazing dinner at their restaurant. Local venison in my husband’s burger and my Maple glazed chicken were two of the best meals we’ve had in Scotland/ Skye this week! The room was beautifully styled with matching curtains, pillows and red colour accents. Looked very new and the property well maintained. ( Quite the opposite of most other Sky and Scotland hotels we’ve experienced!) Free parking on site. Hot showers and a towel warming rack. We hope to come back and stay again one day!"

3 bedroom accommodation in Rosehall, near Lairg

10/10 Excellent
"The cottage was absolutely superb. It was like a tardis. Looked really small from the outside but was plenty of room on the inside. Garden was kept immaculately tidy. It's at least a 10 - 15 minute drive from the shops at Lairg but if you're looking for a quiet spot to relax then it's perfect for you. The house had everything we needed. Prepare for midges with plenty smidge spray or even a net if you want to go out and enjoy the area. Some days they weren't about, most they weren't too bad but the morning we left they were terrible. Myself, partner, 3 kids and 2 dogs loved it. We will be back."
