Sinky Sands Tours and Activities

Our room was lovely with a beautiful view over the loch and the Isle of Skye. In spite of being in the middle of a major refurbishment the staff were extremely corteous and helpful and made every effort to ensure our stay was a good one. The room was clean and comfortable with a really good shower and we had a lovely tray of tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for us on our arrival.. We will certainly make a return visit some time in the near future.

Older hotel near Mallaig. Good value

This is quite a remote spot. We realized this but spoke with another couple who had booked a room and were unsure if they were going to stay their second night because of the location so I guess just know that. Coming across the mountain pass is an experience with narrow twisty roads, but just gorgeous! We never met the owners. Arrived in the evening and went downstairs after settling in 3 times hoping to find them to ask about some local places but they were not around. They had emailed saying our key would be in our door and gave us a number to call but stated they weren’t a hotel so may not answer so leave a message. In hindsight this didn’t make us feel they were very approachable. It was very warm and our room window was open when we arrived (no air conditioning but we were prepared for that). There are no screens on the window. We left the window open, hoping for cooler evening breeze as our upper floor room was hot. We went downstairs and visited with another couple and looked a last time for owners then went up to shower and bed. It was too hot for covers but within an hour we realized we were getting swarmed by bugs. We went downstairs to see if maybe anyone was up or if we could find bug spray but it was late at that point. We closed our window and tried to sleep but the remaining bugs and heat made it tough. By 5 am we gave up and since the heat was going to continue and we couldn’t imagine another night like that we packed up and left at 6:30 still never meeting
