Three nights here. A nice property location. Parking difficult but that could be said for the entire town of Portree. The rooms were well laid out and spacious. Surfaces and carpets were in good shape. Housekeeping was excellent with restocking of towels, water, coffee, and snacks every day. Excellent breakfast in the hotel restaurant. And a nice bar as well. read more

Had a lovely stay with friends here in August. Initially we started in room one. Don't stay in room one as you hear the people walking up and down the stairs. Staff gracious ---We moved across the hall into room three, which had a Gardenview. It was quiet and exactly what we wanted. Forgot my Kindle in the room and fired a quick email off to the hotel. They actually had left me a voicemail prior that I had not picked up saying they had it. They were very helpful, well beyond helpful, getting my Kindle packaged well and off to the post office. They were very responsive in my shipping options. Package arrived safely to my next destination and I am so grateful for their promptness and attentiveness. Thank you!! read more

3.5 - Great location, great staff, the restaurant and bar on the main floor are great! Only knocks go to the physical hotel. No elevator and very very small rooms. We were tripping over ourselves and luggage almost the whole time due to lack of floor space. No closet and no iron. Bed was uncomfortable to us and pretty much took up the whole room. To end on a positive, shoutout to the front desk staff (we apologize for forgetting your name but you were from Italy) who was VERY helpful with local sightseeing suggestions! read more

HOW IS THIS RATED A 4 STAR HOTEL?! TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE MONEY! Let's start with how I called to inform the desk clerk/receptionist about our arrival time to assure someone would be available (just in case) and that dinner would still be available by the time we projected our arrival (8-9 range). We were told no problem at all so we relaxed and didn't stop for dinner along the way. We arrive to a hotel that has no parking available for their guests, not even an area to pull up while you check-in. We had a lot of luggage traveling around the country for 2 weeks with no where to park! Receptionist tells us there is free parking a 5 min walk away, down a hill, over by some hostel. Are you kidding me? While I wait in our rental car parked illegally on a street, husband checks into our "cottage", their most expensive room. After getting some of our luggage to the room, husband cannot lock the door. After 20 minutes with no success, receptionist has to be called for help. She cannot lock the door either so has to wait in the cottage while husband retrieved the remainder of luggage. Now I can finally search for a parking space in town which took quite some time, especially with all the one way streets. So fun! At this point, we are so hungry and come back to our cottage to be informed by the receptionist that the restaurant is booked up for the evening!!! Why the hell were we not informed of this when I called hours earlier or she put us down with a reservation?! Not happy at all but asked her to please recommend a place we can eat and she tells us nothing in town is still serving dinner! We beg her to find a way to squeeze us in to the restaurant and she now tells us that it's closed! Regardless, it didn't matter because the lock on the front door continued to have issues and could not be locked so we couldn't leave our cottage unattended. We were trapped with no where to go because they were booked up solid with no other room to put us in. This cottage is right on a street with their bar a stone throw away from our front door, directly across the street, so anyone could walk right into our cottage and walk right out with our luggage, etc. The chef was so kind to do us a favor (sarcasm) and offer us 3 different cold cheese sandwich options and a bowl of soup which they had to deliver to our room, since we were prisoners, and then had the nerve to charge us for this "food"! Cottage was uncomfortable with very low ceilings, crappy cheap furniture, check out the photo of the couch, literally has a bar sticking out the top back that you feel while sitting on it. Floors are unbelievably slippery and the spiral staircase moves and feels like it's going to crumble as you are on it, which is the only access to your uncomfortable bed. And the water only stays hot for a quick, 5 min shower. My poor husband had to take a cold shower after mine. Receptionist warned us beforehand about this "issue". Morning comes and our only real view is a tiny one from downstairs that is shared mostly looking at a DUMPSTER. Oh, and you can hear everything on the street that literally your door opens to, your other view I forgot to mention. Again, check out the photos. Had to then retrieve our car to pack up the luggage before breakfast, so that we could eat in the restaurant. Thank god I only booked us one night in this nightmare! Oh, and the receptionist tells us she tried to find someone to come fix our lock so we could sleep peacefully but had no luck since it was the weekend. By the way, had to move furniture and put things in the doorway so we could sleep knowing if someone entered while sleeping we would hopefully hear them. After all of this, only a 10% discount on the "room charge" was offered. Charged us for our sandwiches and breakfast. This room wasn't even rentable. Why are they selling this horrible space??!! And for $300/night. We have asked for a full refund and I will update based on the results. We booked this through American Express Platinum travel, ummmm, how did this hotel get out on their site?! Good luck if you choose to stay here! read more

Stay away from The Bosville Hotel when visiting Portree on the Isle of Skye. I recommend you check out The Rosedale Hotel first. Every other hotel we stayed in during our three weeks' visit to Scotland was a delightful experience except our visit to The Bosville Hotel on April 23 rd 2022   We had scheduled and prepaid for two nights. On the day we checked in for our first night's stay, we got to the room and opened the door, and noticed a putrid, powerful mold odor that was noticeable in all areas of the room. My wife is highly allergic to mold and immediately had a severe allergy attack.  We quickly returned to the front desk and explained the situation and were given another room.  Once again when entering, we could smell a horrible odor. We again returned to the desk and said that we could not stay in either room.  We were told they had no other rooms and we would have to stay in one of the rooms since we had prepaid. I asked to speak with the manager who was less than kind about my wife's allergies and offered the following solution. He would refund the second night and charge us the full fee of the first night because had canceled and they had a 24-hour cancellation policy.  I explained that we were not canceling, we just could not stay in those rooms due to the heavy mold smell.  He did not budge even when I offered to split the cost of the unused room.    Scotland is delightful and 99% of the people are helpful, kind, and understanding.  Unfortunately, we found one individual who was not. read more

No parking, wifi didn't work, but there are far bigger problems. The wall in room 30 VIBRATES, staff member told us they've torn down the wall and can't figure out what's going on - probably shouldn't rent out the room, then. (Also, some cross-checking with reviews on Booking.com reveals that it is the kitchen extractor vent - so they DO know what the problem is - they've either not informed their staff, or instructed them to lie. Shady. The unpleasant morning clerk claimed to never have heard of the problem.) Floors are creaky, so we heard every step the upstairs neighbors took - until 12:30 am, and beginning again at 7. We were above the kitchen, so had pots and pans clanging until 11 or so, starting again at 7. Between all of that noise and the vibrating wall shaking the furniture (we eventually moved the beds ourselves), we slept for maybe five hours. I've stayed in youth hostels above nightclubs that were quieter than this place. Most infuriating of all was that the evening clark - Tania? - assured us that we would be given some kind of discount or compensation if the vibrating noise continued. The morning clerk gave us nothing - not even an apology. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Really awful facilities and staff who lie, shocking at this price point - forget it. read more

I made reservations several weeks before as I was not sure of Friday openings. We enjoyed our meal. It was all good. Check out my pics! read more

This was supposed to be one of the highlights of my trip to Scotland and staying in this hotel nearly ruined it. 1. No parking - I understand it's a small area with no room for parking but an attitude of "park it where ever you can find it" from the staff when you ask was a little rough. There's a 1-way street running down to the front of the Bosville (to your right when you leave the hotel) that if you come up the other side you can usually find street parking and it's about 2-3 minutes (and one steeeeeep hill) away. 2. The staff - I wouldn't go so far as to say they were rude, more nonchalant and I had the feeling that they thought I should feel lucky to stay there. This does not include the restaurant staff, they were lovely. The food is good in the restaurant but not the best we had while there. 3. The Room - Ask for a garden view room. Ask. For. A. Garden. View. Room. The rooms on the front of the hotel overlooking the water might seem romantic but at 5am when the Co-op next door gets its truck delivery you WILL be woken up. In fact, you will be woken up at all hours of the night by traffic and people outside the hotel. Very busy area. 4. The Restaurant - I mentioned the staff earlier, but they were really lovely and they serve a seaweed salted butter with bread that is beautiful. That being said, make your reservations for dinner early and be flexible in what time you want to dine. They will not fill the restaurant. read more

We just happened into this Hotel this past March on a very cold, very windy and very rainy afternoon. Our greeting at the front desk was the exact opposite of the weather. We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. Dennis, the manager, was epitome of a gracious host. The room offered to us was clean and comfortable. While cozy, it was still roomier than I would have expected. The stay also included breakfast which was a nice surprise. The breakfasts were quite good and, well, anyplace that offers me a whisky topping on my porridge is alright by me! Another little bonus was the decanter of sherry with glasses on our floor in a small reading area. It's the little things right? We did enjoy the restaurant dinner on our stay. We had great service and a delicoius meal. I understand the menu changes but it does seem to have some nice twists to your typical the usual hotel restaurant fare. The service was perfect-friendly, helpful and just the right speed. It really was a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy the delicious meal. If ever I'm fortunate enough to find myself on Skye once again, I'd definitely try booking a few nights at the Bosville Hotel. read more

Overpriced. Unfriendly staff. good luck if you have heavy luggage as there is no lift. Good location though with a nice view accross the harbour. read more

Bosville Hotel - Bosville Hotel, Portree, Skye (the car in front is a Zonda) - Hotels Near Me - Portree, HLD

Noisy hotel and staff with unhelpful attitude like a prior reviewer mentioned. I could hear music and dishes clanging into the night. I arrived 15 mins before the 3pm checkout. I sat and waited next to the clerk until standing up exactly at 3pm. She then stopped talking to a coworker and checked me in. read more

The rooms are beautiful and staff couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating. Just a few reasons the experience wasn't perfect: 1. Pillows are extremely hard making sleep uncomfortable. It's odd because so much attention went into the room decor that to skimp on pillows makes no sense. 2. Shower pressure was so low it felt like a drizzle and also the water was not hot - not because of lack of hot water but because the nozzle didn't go beyond a certain point. 3. The wifi is too slow to work, but that might be the case in all Skye hotels. 4. The windows are very thin and the street noise (trucks loading and unloading the local shops) is very loud in the early morning hours. read more

You gotta stay here!! The staff is so pleasant and the food..... YUM! We didn't eat at the nice restaurant no need the bistro is to die for. The room was nice and quiet and clean. Bravo bravo... read more

We were given a table right away, then sat for about 30 minutes before anyone came back. The staff looked frazzled, there seemed to be no control in the dinning room. The food came hot and nicely prepared, my wife had fish and chips and said it was good. For the price we paid I thought it would be as little better. read more

Great Stay the restaurant (Dulse & Brose) was fantastic so was the bar.

The Bosville is a great place to go for a meal. The Bistro is light and airy and offers a great menu selection. The Restaurant side is more expensive and in my opinion, somewhere for a more special occassion. The quality of the food is exceptional througout. I have always had a lovley experience when dining at the Bosville and would highly recommend. The rooms to stay in are supoosed to be very good too, but cannot vouch for this personally. read more
