"We stayed at Tingle Creek due to its location to the Isle of Skye. We didn’t check our hotel reservations as closely as we should have, and had some tense moments when we realized that we would not arrive before the desk closed at 9:00pm. After several failed attempts to contact the hotel, we resigned ourselves to the fact we would likely have to try to find different accommodation (we had just hiked the Old Man of Storr, were drenched right thru and it was becoming obvious that there were not just hotels on every corner, and we had already paid, so we were panicking a little), but we drove to Tingle Creek anyway, and were met by an absolute sweetheart of a man, who knew who I was immediately, and assured me that even if we hadn’t arrived until 11:00, he would’ve left our key with instructions for us! We checked into our cozy room, with an amazing sunset view of the water, but there was little time to enjoy, as we had not yet had supper, as the ‘Old Man’ had taken longer than expected. We set out to find food and it was apparent right away that food options around Kyle are very limited after 8:00pm. We settled on gas station cuisine to get by until morning. If you are a North American traveller, don’t wait to check in or eat supper when visiting these parts of Scotland if you want a warm bed and a hot meal. We awoke to the stunning view from our hotel window, and a delicious breakfast. Would definitely stay here again! Be sure to read ALL the information before reserving. "

"Good hotel. No A/C in the summer but the window opened a crack and it cooled down eventually. Good bed! Nice room. "

"Comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting. Renovated period property. Clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. "

"We chose this hotel as a mid-point for our trip. It’s in a great location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Just a very charming place to stay and I highly recommend it!"

"Fantastic!!! Gorgeous views, right next to Skye. Highly recommend."

"Exactly what we needed. Booked at the last minute and arrived after the designated time, but staff was amazingly accomodating--could not have been more pleased. "

"The hosts are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The hikes they suggested were stunningly beautiful. The area is quiet and relaxed..one of our highlights of our 2week stay"

"We loved staying at the Duisdale House Hotel. Perfect location, right across from the water with a quick path to the beach. The staff were the best. So fun and funny and a joy to be around. "

"I had a very pleasant stay at the Kyle Hotel. It was not hard at all to find and check in/out was a quick. The staff were very friendly and helpful."
