Older hotel near Mallaig. Good value

This property is amazing. Just as pictured. It is a bit remote as it is off the main roadway a bit but that is part of what I loved. The views from the porch were gorgeous. I only had one need to contact the property manager about a question but was responded to very quickly. Would absolutely stay here again.

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.
