It was a lovely place to stay with amazing view in the front. Perfectly clean and comfortable. I'm really satisfied with Boardford House except the wifi which lost connection every 2 mins. Otherwise a great option to choose.

The property is in a good location if you want to walk around the town of Inverness. It is not a fancy hotel, so if that is what you want then look elsewhere but if you are only staying a night or two, this place is good enough if you are not picky. Staff was friendly.

Great long weekend stay. Ideally located for getting about the island. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and very comfortable. Food in both the bar and restaurant was delicious. Excellent breakfast. Will definitely be back.

For the price we paid the room was inadequate. I could have stayed in a five star hotel instead. This was an Expedia nonsense for a B&B for which I paid $300 ???!!! We travelled all across Scotland and even the room at Rusacks in St Andrews overlooking the 18 th hole was cheaper and the food and services was fantastic.

Great hotel and better staff! One small issue was that we stayed 2 nights, and had to change rooms. We weren't notified of this before. Not sure if it was an Expedia issue or hotel, but a minor inconvenience. Loved their ties to Drambuie liquor! EXCELLENT restaurant on-site.

Room was large and location of the hotel was good. Staff person was rude, room was over the bar and the noise level was annoying. There was no elevator and no offer of assistance with luggage. Also no breakfast was included. Would never recommend - felt ripped off for the price we paid for the room.

It isn’t very different from the last time we stayed here 4 years ago but they have nearly no staff. Same guy checks in guests and seats for dinner and serves dinner and cleans the rooms. Convenient location and comfortable mostly clean rooms but bring your patience.

It would be very beneficial for them to install an elevator - just a small one to handle luggage up the stairs. Wonderful hosts - just can't seem to do enough to make sure you are happy. Loved this place.

The service at this hotel is consistently terrible. We stay 1 night every year and it is now part of the experience. The hotel itself is lovely and the rooms are really nice. So if you have a sense of humour and are willing to deal with the service it is a nice place to stay overnight.

This hotel should be an idilic getaway on a stunningly beautiful island. For the price paid for the room, it is woefully inadequate. Rusty radiator in the bathroom, toilet roll holder broken, bath towels filthy, television not working. Stair banister missing in places and visible grime on the white gloss painted areas. It is quite obvious the staff are not trained or equipped to deal with the number of residents, the staffing numbers are ridiculously low. Quite possibly the worst value for money we have ever experienced whilst booking through Expedia.

dangerously slippery, guests treated secondary
I think the hotel treats the guests secondary to their drinking locals on the ground level. There was no staff to check us in, but they were at the restaurant side. And, no disabled parking in front of the hotel. All taken by the mini vans and a local bus. The room was on 2nd flight, and the bathroom was tiled with slippery wall tiles and very slippery, and, the mold and missing grouts add more shabbiness. The room was too hot, and the noise from the corridor and tavern below us were not acceptable. The fire door to the guestroom floor opens to the steps, dangerously. And, the corridor was covered with the dust from paint prep job. They want the tourist money but do not provide the basic hotel service. just looking good in the photos but not acceptable conditions. Amateurish Operation and maintenances. Overpriced and overrated.
The fire door opens to the staircase to the lobby, almost impossible to carry the bags upstairs to access to the room floor
The housekeeping leaves the laundry all day and night exposed to the guests
Blood stain on bed cover
Poorly managed furnishing

Lovely hotel in Skye. It's a good drive to Portree which has all the action but there are good restaurants and cafes in Broadford and it's much quieter. The hotel is located across from the water and there's a beautiful walking path with some ruins along the way. Staff are very friendly. It's quite informal with a few staffers playing multiple roles but they get the job done. We also ate dinner and breakfast in the dining room and both were excellent. The pub is really fun too.

Perfectly situated near the bridge to Skye so it made it easy to explore the island. The room was lovely and overlooked a monkey puzzle tree. Very unique. Wonderful restating hotel, very good local fare. Enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

We found the hotel and rooms to be in need of a major renovation. The room charge was too high for the quality of the building. Also, we found most of the staff, except for the lady checking us out, to be less than friendly.
