Great location, lovely big rooms and comfy beds. Friendly staff, delicious dinner in the pub next door and yummy breakfast.
The “Road to the Isles” ends at the harbour of Mallaig, with ferries to the Hebrides leaving from this remote and peaceful part of Scotland.

Excellent location and sadly at the time of my visit there were staffing shortage problems meaning no evening meal option available on site. I had an early start to catch the ferry so did not require Breakfast. The check in staff were great and helpful in directing me to a suitable location for evening meal etc.
Central house, a property with a garden, is located in Mallaig, 42 km from Glenfinnan Station Museum, 42 km from Glenfinnan Monument, as well as 42 km from Glenfinnan Viaduct.

I love everything about it. Staff are great and the location is amazing.
In a picturesque bay in the south of Skye, this hotel has beautiful views over the Sound of Sleat and the distant hills of Knoydart.

The staff were very pleasant.The dear lady who checked us in(unfortunately forgot her name) was so pleasant.The place had no mobile network and that feeling of being cut off was great especially coming from a busy and bustling city like London.
Everyone at the hotel were informal and the people around seemed warm and felt like a big family.
I highly recommend to stay here for a day or two when on a trip to the Isle of Skye.
Gorgeous part of the Highlands with good transport links !
Gorgeous part of the Highlands with good transport links ! Ferries and Trains ! The train journey is spectacular and worth every Penny and minute of the 5 hours from Glasgow or 2 hours plus from Fort William … I’m not a train spotter by any means or a Harry Potter fan but this journey as always been on my travel bucket list and did not disappoint!
Good bar / restaurant … great value great food at the top of the hill and friendly locals !! Be aware as you’d expect not a lot open in the depths of winter!! But enough and how I personally like it !!

Mallaig is at its heart an old fishing town which has seen that part of its self-image eroded by the economics of fisheries across the land. Meanwhile it has become popular because of the steam railway and Harry Potter. Though this has improved the economy it feels like the place begrudges this new found dimension and would prefer to revert to its quieter fish-focussed past. Some of the restaurants feel like they are profiteering - £11 for 4 tiny pieces of salt and pepper squid slapped on the table is indicative. Overpriced dishes and underwhelming service. Is it me or do the staff in the hostelries and shops project an air that says they've had enough and want to scuttle off for their own vacation? They need to decide to up their game or move over for someone with more stamina, energy and understanding of customer service. Not somewhere for which I will hold fond memories. The exception to all this is the host of the pod who was bright and cheerful and could not be more helpful.

Plenty of places to eat.
Plenty of places to eat. Mallaig gets busy when the steam train(think Harry Potter) from Fort William arrives.
Surprisingly, many shops were closed on Saturday morning.
Great smoked fish and shellfish from Andy Race fish merchant, but shop not open on Saturday.
Ferry trips to Eigg, Rum, Skye and Knoydart(loch Nevis)

It has all the bustle of a busy ferry and fishing port.
It has all the bustle of a busy ferry and fishing port. It has a huge number of cafes, restaurants and tourist facilities. Great rail and road communications. Lovely circular walk above the town - great views.
The Hotel is a 1 minute from the gare station and the ferry, for people who want to spend the night in mallaig before going to an isle or even if you want to spend sometimes in Mallaig this Hotel is just perfect, and everything you need is just beside, this is about the location and about the Hotel it's very proper, bed very comfortable, and a beautiful terrace where you can eat and chill, the personal was super kind and even if I came too late at night, she made sure I can get to my room by myself!
The location of The Steam Inn is great, right in the heart of Mallaig and only 100m from the very picturesque harbour. The staff are warm and friendly and work hard to please their guests. The seafood on the menu is FANTASTIC. Staying for 6 nights we did not make it fully through the menu. Every dish was prepared and presented to our delight. We cannot complement The Steam Inn enough. We will certainly be back.
The Marine is clean, comfortable and very well located, with fantastic views of the coast and the historical railway. Breakfast was great and very Covid safe. We had a couple of problems completely unrelated to the hotel during our stay in Mallaig, but each time the staff went out of their way to help. Would definitely return here.
Perfect base to use the car ferry to Skye. 45 pounds round trip for family of 4 and mid-size SUV. Apartment is 2 minutes from ferry terminal. Accommodation is comfortable and clean on a quiet street. Equipped to self cater although we did not.. They have added a hanging rack to dry laundry if you need to use their washing machine.
Overall, a nice vacation rental and I would recommend others to stay there. It was super easy to collect the keys when we arrived in the lock box. The shower was amazing and I loved the view out the window. The location close to the ferry to go to the Isle of Skye was great for our road trip around Scotland.
Cheap and cheerful and comfortable, good facilities and a warm welcome, I didn't have any problems with noise when I stayed but it must depend who else is staying at the time, would stay again next time I'm in Mallaig
The staff was excellent. We arrived early and they held our bags while we explored the town. The staff suggested places to eat and they were very good. The hotel looks great and our room was very nice.
Locaed in the centre of Mallaig, close to shops, pubs and restaurants, also train station and ferry terminal.
Room was basic, with clean bedding and heating that works very well.
Would stay again!
This hotel is superb. We had a lovely, comfortable room with a sea view. The breakfast was great with a variety of options. This was the perfect base for exploring Mallaig and the surrounding area.
The proximity of the lovely, quiet, beaches was wonderful. Fantastic for a beach based holiday and very close to Mallaig, which has a good few things to offer for a peaceful holiday.
