“The West Highland Hotel sits with a commanding view over Mallaig and the water towards Skye, a solid base from which to explore. I found its substantial bar an unexpectedly warm and comfortable space, a pleasant exception to typical hotel lounges. The food, particularly the seafood, made a real impression, and the staff's helpfulness came through clearly.”
