The Hotel is located on the shores of Loch Alsh, approximately 3 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh, the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye. Most of our bedroom windows frame views of Loch Alsh and, in our restaurant the picture is larger but much the same. Faced with all this, we developed our own hotelier's philosophy. Broadly speaking it's based on the idea that if our guests are ever to drag themselves away from our windows, we must make it worth their while. THE HOTEL OPERATES A STRICT NON SMOKING POLICY.
