Everything about this place was great. From the welcome we got at the beginning to the cozy cabin and the proximity to the ferry station. Great value for money in the usually expensive Isle of Skye.
Loved the harbour area which has a lot of activity.
Loved the harbour area which has a lot of activity. Excellent bakers nearby as well as fish and chips restaurants and a delightful pizzeria. Also The Horsebox just up the road from the harbour - lovely coffees and cakes.

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)
Pod was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable. Very welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Excellent facilities, towels, washing up bits, tea, coffee, sugar and milk in the fridge, if you weren’t prepared and brought it with you. Location is very peaceful and relaxing, close for ferries to the isles and train to Fort William. Having been to Mallaig many times it never disappoints, gorgeous views out to sea and watching the Jacobite steam train roll by when you’re just chilling by the pod.
We stayed one night in Mallaig before going to Isle of Skye. We found Mallaig to be a picturesque, small fishing village and we're happy we stayed the night. The Chlachain Inn is centrally located being just a 5 minute walk to both the ferry terminal and train station and that suited us well. The room was good but to be honest the wow factor for us was the food in the Inn. I had the Haddock (i.e. Fish and Chips) and, for me, was the best I had in Scotland. Breakfast was also very good.
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.
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.
The location is great, a very short stroll to the small centre of Mallaig. There's parking for everyone right by your pod. The pod was very clean and comfortable, with everything like new. Small but well laid-out so nothing felt cramped. Lovely view of the coast sat on the front porch, even a view of the steam train going by!
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.
Mallaig is a beautiful small fishing village. Very much worth the beautiful trip to it. The Seaview is within steps of the train terminal with places to dine. The Seaview is a cozy place to stay with amenities that include a nice breakfast offering.
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 is great and but for the bad weather we would have enjoyed having a picnic at one of the tables on the lawn. Also, the hotel's restaurant recommendations were very good. Very friendly hotel bartender too.
ideal location to catch the ferry. Breakfast is available at the hotel and part of our booking deal. Parking in front of the hotel is limited so wise to book a spot when booking your room. Rooms are clean.
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.
Everything you need in a hotel room was provided and situated at the right place ( e.g. mirror above desk)
Large shower was unbeatable
Located where Mallaigs good restaurants are
100 meters from the ferry terminal.
Rooms, bathrooms and kitchen were clean.
