breakfast was great and seafood platter in the pub was tasty
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.

Views from the bedroom lovely with the sun setting over the Isles made for a memorable experience. Also great to enjoy a drink out in the sunshine with the views across the ocean to the Isles.

The rooms were very large and well equipped. The staff were excellent although very stretched. We had to leave the hotel before breakfast started but when the staff found out they quickly cooked us some pastries to take with us. The location overlooking the loch is really good.
Established in 1902 The Morar Hotel is a family run hotel in the highlands in North West Scotland, 3 miles from Mallaig, the Southern gateway to the Isle of Skye.

Staff were really nice, Nadia (Reception) in particular was very helpful. Hotel was very clean and food (breakfast and dinner) was excellent. Great sea view too.
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 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.
I had planned to stay in Fort William but due to some interruptions with the ferry schedule to Skye, had to be in Mallaig first thing in the am to catch the passenger only ferry to Armadale. This meant a night in Mallaig. The hotel staff were friendly and the room was quiet and clean. Right next to grocery store, train station and ferry terminal so can't go wrong with the location.
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.
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.
everything was perfect. Good location, friendly hostess, hostess very helpful and answered all questions. I walked from Mallaig to Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Isle of Skye, so perfect base. I was even allowed to leave my things there after checking in, which was very nice for me. Pure recommendation!
The view from this hotel is amazing. Everything is close by in Mallaig. Our room was lovely. We were on the top floor which is fine for us and it was quiet and the view was lovely of the night sky.
Breakfast was good and the staff were lovely.
The hotel has a lot of character and is quite large in size. It is located in a convenient location - close to stores, restaurants, the ferry and the train. The staff at the check-in desk were very nice. Parking facilities were great!
Really lovely staff, very helpful and informative. We had to book last minute due to a cancelled ferry service and they were very accommodating. Mallaig can be a quiet place out of season (like most places) which can be very nice.
The location was incredible - right in the middle of Mallaig next to the port and all the restaurants. It was fun that the flat is an old bank - it gave it additional charm! It was such a comfortable place to stay in Mallaig.
Location of this hotel was good, right off the main street in Mallaig. We stopped over whilst waiting for a ferry the next day. The room was a decent size, we had a balcony. I feel the room had been redecorated recently.
The location in "downtown" Mallaig was perfect. Everything was very walkable. The pod itself was super cosy and very clean. Small bathroom, obviously, but hot water and well appointed. I loved the heated floors.
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!
Staff went above and beyond. Hotel was clean, comfortable, and the location was phenomenal. They even offered ear plugs for when the seagulls got too loud.
Mallaig is lovely, scenery is absolutely amazing. The owners were really nice and welcoming. I had a very comfortable stay. Clean and tidy nice and cozy!
