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.

Very central location in Mallaig, next to the train station (with very few trains running so not a problem at all), the port and the cafes & restaurants. Our host was very welcoming and really friendly, offering to wash or dry our clothes as we had just completed a 3 day walk.
Situated in Ardvasar, 36 km from Kyle of Lochalsh, The Inn @ Aird a' Bhasair features accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

The view from the restaurant and front of the house. The staff. They let us get the room a bit earlier, and for that, we were very grateful.
The breakfast was lovely.

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.

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 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.
Sharon was a pleasure, a great host that couldn't do enough for us. If you're sailing to or from Mallaig you couldn't be any closer to the ferry. Lovely ice cream in the shop below the accommodation and a lovely bakery over the road. The accommodation even has a little kitchen with a cooker and fridge etc that you are welcome to use should you wish to.
Donald was very welcoming on arrival .As we got there very late for check in time and
understanding. He also gave us a room upgrade which was lovely of him. As he didn't know this but,
we were on are honeymoon and on are last stay in Scotland which made it special thank you.
Seaview is a lovely place to stay and 10/10 for our room. Thank you.
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.
Great location in Mallaig. Rooms were clean and attractively presented with en suite shower and toilet. It was an old hotel so had no lift, but the stairs were manageable. Dinner in the bar was very pleasant and the staff went out of their way to provide a hot breakfast at 8 am so that we could catch the ferry to Skye.
We loved how comfortable and cosy the glamping pod was - we came to Mallaig for hiking and running, etc., so it was great to come back to a quiet, beautiful and warm pod (with a stunning view!) in the evenings, to rest up for the rest of the trip.
Perfect size and location, had everything we needed. They even provided oat milk for tea when I messaged to say we were vegan! We only stayed a few nights but feel like we got a lot out of Mallaig - and would definitely come back 😊
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
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.
Great location in the heart of Mallaig. I came in on the train and walked 1 minute to the hotel. the circular walk is minutes away as well as the shops, ferry to Armadale and the restaurants.
Quaint stay in Mallaig since we wanted to catch the early morning ferry. The rooms are small but clean, with all necessities available! Pub food was decent, with really good desserts :)
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.
This was my favourite stay on my entire 12 day trip to Scotland. The host was so helpful, the pod was so comfy, and the view was unbeatable. Don't hesitate to stay here.
