The Isle of Skye Guest House was a decent, fairly convenient spot for seeing some of the sites on the Isle of Skye. Rooms were basic and small. The self check-in was easy, but this place somehow lacks a feeling of welcome. The lobby, sitting room and large dining room with big windows to the lawn and trees looked interesting, and have a lot of potential as lively meeting places. But they were huge, cold, and sterile, crowded with chairs, not encouraging guests to engage with each other. We did enjoy the music selection in the speaker that was always playing.
The free breakfast was a stack of cold cereal boxes and a small fridge with milk and yogurt. There was one hot pot for boiling water for the instant coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and it always seemed to be empty. On our first morning we were disappointed the coffee/water was out, and there was no one to ask about it. I called the phone number provided and was told I had to add water to the pot. I asked exactly where I was supposed to find the sink, should I bring the pot to our room and fill it in the bathroom? The woman said to look under the table (which was covered by a long cloth) for bottles of water, and I should boil the water for everyone. Really?! At the least, there should be a note to tell guests where to find the water to fill the pot.
