The Moorings has a great location overlooking the harbour at Mallaig, but that is about the only really good point. Unfortunately, the rest of it is just another mediocre UK B&B. Room, adequate but tired. Bathroom, adequate but tired. Food, adequate. Value for money? Adequate. I would probably use it again if I had to, but none too impressed overall.... More

When I read the reviews on here after booking this B&B I was a bit worried but that was unnecessary. The place is like a blast from the past in terms of decor and they could do with updating the rooms so they have bigger beds but Jenny & her husband were very welcoming and friendly, he even gave us...

I was traveling with my fiancee and we did a 1 night stop over in Mallaig. Unfortunately the timing wasn't in our favour seeing as how there were 2 weddings happening and almost every hotel, hostel, and B&B were full. After about the 6th rejection we found the Moorings B&B with 2 rooms left. The woman running the place was... More

Jenny was wonderful, we had everything you would expect from a B&B. The breakfast was good (and very big for us) and arrived son enough and there was and infinite supply of toast.We were told exactly what was on offer for breakfast (contrary to one of the reviews). It's in a beautiful position, with good Access to the local restaurants... More

We enjoyed our stay at The Moorings. We requested a room with a view over the sea and it was good to be able to see the boats and the activity in the harbour from our comfortable room. Jenny is friendly and helpful, and the whole house was very clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful (if you want cereal to... More

Having read some of the reviews here I feel I should give a balanced view on the this traditional B&B. Yes people share the breakfast tables, this used to be the case in B&B's years ago, is this really such a problem?.I find this set-up to be a positive experience, by talking to other guests you get to find out...

In short this B&B is great! The rooms are spotless and serviced every day. I was working in Morar And Mallaig on two separate occasions and chose the Moorings Both times. I have also used several B&B's in the surrounding area and this one has to be the best i have come across. The breakfast was excellent and the service... More

We had stayed here before so we sort of knew what we were letting ourselves if for (it was the only place with vacancies and we had to stay to get the first ferry in the morning). The owner is very friendly but, as B&B's go it is a little quirky. The room was clean and well decorated and the... More
