Scourie Hotel

Scourie Hotel

8/10 Good
"An ideal stop on the NC500. Friendly welcome (and taken to the room, not just pointed in the right direction), comfortable and well appointed room, spotlessly clean. Good breakfast. We chose to eat elsewhere in the evening, so cannot comment on the dinner."

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!"
