We stayed at the WhiteHeatherHotel in Kyleakin on the isle of Skye in September 2004. We liked it so much that we are going back again in September 2006.
***** THIS REVIEW IS NOW UPDATED DUE TO MY RECENT VISIT AS SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE HOTEL SINCE 2004************************************
ISLE OF SKYE
++++++++++++
The Isle of Skye is off the coast of Scotland, about a 2 hour drive from Fort William. It can be reached by bridge or ferry. It is a beautiful place, with plenty of wildlife. I am not going to go into more detail as this review is not about Skye itself.
KYLEAKIN - pronounced Ky-lark-in

My friends and I decided to have a weekend away because it was one of their birthdays. We booked for a two-night weekend break at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool through National Coach Holidays on 19 November 2004. The brochure described the break as being ?All inclusive? and we looked forward to fact that we would be able to drink copious amounts of alcohol for free (and why not!).
We paid £89.00 for two night?s dinner, bed and breakfast with drinks also included from 7.30pm ? 10.30pm in one of the three bars in the hotel.
When we arrived at 1.30pm we were met in the lobby with a poster telling us that we were unable to check in until 3.30pm, this was our first mishap. The décor in the lobby was okay and the hotel on the surface seemed rather nice. We made our way to the bar (as you do), to kill a couple of hours ...
