Walked in after peeping into the other choices. This is a Real place. Fishermen grousing at the bar over pints of Tennants, families in the next room, the bartender also serving as waiter and cashier. Perfect! Sat next to the overly warm coal fire (wow, that can put out some heat) and quickly gulped down a bottle of Black Cuillin.... More

I have been to this restaurant for dinner couple of times. Food is reasonably priced and very delicious, portions are big. I find this restaurant is best among all others. It has very cozy fire place and large bar area. Drinks also fairly priced..

We had a very good dinner at the Steam Inn. The hard-working staff was very efficient and friendly, our dinner (for me mushroom bruschetta & steak in a Yorkshire pudd; for my companion smoked salmon then chicken linguine) was all delicious. We thought it was very good value for money, too. We ate in the bar (the separate restaurant rooom... More

Room was very nice, pristine, with very modern shower room. Lovely comfy bed and bedding. Just perfect for our purposes - a one night stay on a return trip using the West Highland Line Railway. Excellent Value

My husband and I both picked the Mallaig Cod with Isle of Skye Beer Batter which was delicious. My son picked pizza from the children's menu which looked... More
