We enjoyed our stay. The location is very close to the station. The staff were kind and friendly. We were also able to leave our large bags for a while after checking out, which was great. Dinner and breakfast were delicious.

The two gentlemen at the front were absolutely amazing! Both were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely good people. They always had a positive attitude and made us feel comfortable and appreciated. Their kindness and great customer service truly made our trip even better and more enjoyable. It’s people like them who make a place stand out. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience!

Less than a five minute walk from the train station and the ferry. Run by a bunch of very happy guys who also run the attached bar restaurant. My room was spacious and modern with a great bathroom and great hot water. To top it off it there was a wide selection of a breakfast menu which was also included in a very reasonable price. Plenty of restaurants and shops and a supermarket are very close. All in all I had a great day stay in Mallaig and would come back to this inn and I highly recommend it.

The room was clean, well set up and comfortable. The rooms are accessible by two fights of stairs. The staff provided us a take away breakfast since we were catching a ferry before their breakfast service started.

Very clean room, convenient location and staff excellent- they went out of their way to make us welcome. We had to check out before breakfast started so they put together a lovely packed lunch for us and showed us the fridge to store it overnight. Rooms look recently fitted and decorated, hallway was a bit tired and could be done up. Would have liked the external door to be secured. No onsite parking but we found the East Bay carpark is not too far and there’s no charge. Otherwise a fantastic stay and we would recommend.

We had a lovely stay. The hotel has been nicely renovated and you can tell they have paid attention to the small details. We especially liked that they provided The Scottish Fine Soaps Company toiletries, which was a nice touch. As we had an early ferry to catch the next morning, the hotel thoughtfully prepared a takeaway breakfast for us the night before. It included fresh fruit, yogurt, handmade cheese and pickle bread, snacks, and sparkling water. It was really convenient and much appreciated. Great service and highly recommended.

We had a delightful overnight stay in the room with twin beds. The shower is small but has lovely shower heads with good water pressure for washing long hair. The room is just up the stairs on the side of the Inn, so a quick walk to the restaurant for the included breakfast. There are cold breakfast options, and I had a nice strength latte and the hot breakfast. The service was good. I would stay here again.

The room and dining area were very nicely updated! The staff on hand went above and beyond to help us out. One note: if you do “reserve now, pay at property,” they did charge us within a few days of reserving rather than waiting. We weren’t able to get this resolved. I would still stay there again, but just be prepared to pay when booking.

Very convenient for us in the heart of Maillag, the food at the pub was great, room clean and comfortable, we had to leave very early in the morning to get on the first ferry to Skye and the staff was very attentive to make sure that we had what we liked for our breakfast/lunch to take away with us! They gave us multiple choices and packed it carefully for us leaving it in a refrigerator close to our room so it was effortlessly easy to grab in the morning. We truly loved the place and had an amazing time! I wish we had one more night! Thank you all at Chlachain inn, I’d love to come back one day!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room itself was clean. Tha hallway was not, v tired looking, dirty carpet, towels draped over windowsill, big box of junk in the hall. I didn’t really mind that though. The main gripes are that it was advertised as having satellite tv and a hairdryer in every room. There was no hairdryer and when I went down to ask was told there was none anywhere and the staff couldn’t have really cared less. Had been camping and trekking in wet Scottish wilds for days so was really looking forward to getting warm and dry. Only the terrestrial channels on the tv worked intermittently. No streaming channels worked. But by far the most disappointing thing was the very loud music until around 1:30 which kept me away until then. Really disappointed.

Clean, mostly comfortable room - the pillows were the only let down. We had a really lovely evening meal in the pub and very good breakfast. There was an unpleasant smell of smoke in the hallway outside our room which was likely from the cigarette bin immediately outside.

Good value Inn in Mallaig. The room was small but functional and comfortable. Matress and shower very good. The quality, value and service in the Inn itself was excellent, as was the included breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
