Scots island restaurant blasts 'hissy fit' review from punter who didn't even eat there

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A family-run restaurant blasted back at a two-star online review from a disgruntled tourist who didn't even eat there. The team at The Ferry Inn in Uig, Skye, were furious at the unjust rating from the unhappy visitor.The popular eatery, like many on the Misty Isle, is smaller than restaurants in major cities so it can often be tricky to get a dinner booking.While most people understand this is part and parcel of trying to get tea in smaller communities, especially on Scotland's many beautiful islands, one visitor was extremely unimpressed.The disappointed tourist was unable to secure a reservation during a trip to the picturesque island last May, and harshly turned to Tripadvisor to bemoan the situation.The review was titled 'Dissappointed [sic] in lack of booking facilities' and quickly launched into a rant about their experience of The Ferry.The woman wrote: "Not particularly great experience, no availability for booking, nearest restaurant to where we are staying.

Seems to be a lack of place to eat in skye. [sic]"We are Dissappointed [sic] in local restaurants and their lack of availability for dinner bookings.

Thus [sic] restaurant was on our list to visit, but sadly could not accommodate till well in to June, July."The team at The Ferry Inn stumbled across the review and decided they could not let the unfair criticism lie, especially since the much-loved restaurant boasts a stellar five-star rating on Tripadvisor.It is a favourite for locals and tourists alike and, due to its popularity, was fully booked throughout both May and June last year.

It also clearly states on its website that there is no walk-in capacity and would-be customers must make a booking in advance.The Ferry Inn hit out at the two-star review,
