During lunch the next day we tried walking in and they had tables available so we felt lucky to try one of the higher reviewed dining establishments in Portree. Interior is larger than it seems with lots of dark wood furnishings and details, giving it a worn in but welcoming look. Staff was excellent and they thoughtfully took our order and the food came quickly. Battered haddock roll: this was stacked so high I'm not sure how you would normally eat it. I ended up turning it into two open-face sandwiches and giving half to the wife and kids. This one tasted the best but the roll was quite heavy and not enough salad and lettuce to balance it all out. Caesar Salad: we needed something "clean" to help all the heavy food we were eating and we ordered this with dressing in the side. Odd thing to bring it up, but way too much croutons, ham, and cheese and we would have been happier with more greens. Kids cheese burger and chips: I had a bite and the venison burger was bland and not seasoned well. The chips were good and I think we were in the mood for them because we ordered more as a side after trying some.

I had 6 scallops on my plate, and 3 of the 6 were actually larger scallops cut in half. So I actually had 3 sea scallops.

Could have used a small table for drinking coffee or eating take away. We ate at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. Was awesome. The staff is very attentive. This hotel is popular for it's view of the harbor but we noticed the rooms facing the harbor were blocked by parked cars, so weren't too sad about not having one from our room. Would stay again!

The Cuillin Hills Hotel in Portree is one of the nicest hotel experiences we've had in a long time…read more Portree is a quaint little town on the Isle of Skye on the west coast of Scotland. It's some of the most beautiful scenery we've seen. The hotel is as comfortable as you will find in a luxury hotel. The bar and restaurant features stunning views of Portree Bay and the Cuillin mountains. Gary our bartender was a wizard whipping up a number of signature and classic cocktails. He was so friendly and generous to share all kinds of local knowledge about the cocktail/scotch scene in the area. The Talisker distillery is only a few miles away. I had no idea Drambuie was created and marketed in Isle of Skye. It actually says it on the bottle which Gary showed us (photo #10). It makes sense it was created and made in Scotland being a scotch-based liqueur. Of course I had to order a Rusty Nail (photo #3) which Gary was excited I even knew about the very old school cocktail. A Rusty Nail is simply 2 oz. Scotch and 3/4 oz. Drambuie served with a lemon garnish. Its origin dates back to the 1930's and made popular by the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.) in the 1960's. If you like scotch you'll love a Rusty Nail. Give it a go!! The bar has a "Malt Embassy" with over 130 whiskies (photo #4 & 9). Whatever kind of scotch you're into they have it. The flights are a lot of fun so you can easily taste a wide variety of local whiskies. The design of the hotel is as beautiful as the surrounding landscape. The lounge areas are stunning and very comfortable. What's better than having a lovely local scotch in front of the fire with your beautiful wife celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary (photo #5)? If you ever visit Scotland, Isle of Skye is a must. We highly recommend Portree and the Cuillin Hills Hotel. You need to get there. Salute

We had two excellent bartenders who gave us lots of advice and remembered us throughout our stay. There is a comfortable lounge with a live fire. If I have one suggestion, it is to host a wine and cheese night in the lounge for an hour or so each night. This would be the only way I could think to improve the hotel. The view from the hotel is gorgeous with a perfect scene of the colorful Portree houses. Location is great, about 15 minutes drive from Old Man of Storr. Breakfast is included and very well done. The yogurt had a delicious compote. My husband enjoyed his Scottish breakfast with haggis, blood pudding, and a potato scone. I loved my Eggs Royale with perfectly crispy English muffins topped with smoked salmon and hollandaise. We had dinner at Dulse & Brose one night and we were able to walk there within about 10 minutes, which was appreciated after so much time spent in the car. They offer a variety of complimentary toiletries and others for a small fee, such as a hair straightener, which I thought was thoughtful. They also offer complimentary still and sparkling water, biscuits, tea, coffee, and fruit. We loved that the TV could be easily connected to our phones and stream our shows after a long day exploring the Highlands. The bed was very large and comfortable, although the room itself was relatively small. There was a towel heating rack in the bathroom.

Portree is tiny, so any hotel within the city will have you a 5-minute max walk to anywhere else in the city. Our Premiere Double room was spacious, comfortable, and very tastefully appointed. It felt luxurious and upscale with lots of visual details and amenities for us to enjoy and feel well taken care. We had a great view from our room of the bay in one direction, and the street below in another. Breakfast in the restaurant was plentiful. They brought a continental plate over for the table each morning, which included croissants, yogurt, and fruit, plus you could order from the extensive breakfast menu, which included plenty of vegetarian options. The espresso machine was broken our first morning, but the French press coffee gave me the as-strong-as-I wanted-it-to-be coffee fix I needed. There is no official parking for the hotel, so if you're lucky enough to get one of the spots directly in front of the hotel, it's kind of like winning the lottery. We found it easy to park just up the road (heading out of town) about a block away...no parking limitations allowed us to leave our car there for 2 days. (And, worst case scenario, there's a long-term paid lot [Bayfield] not too far...but we didn't have to use it.) The only quirk was in the spacious and luxurious bathroom...there's no shampoo / conditioner / shower gel /shelf in the shower. There's a small soap shelf, but putting the provided shampoo/conditioner/gel bottles on top of it...well, they wouldn't all fit there, and pressing the dispenser makes it seem like that might break if sitting on top of it...so we had to put those provided items on the floor of the shower to use them. It seems like a basic thing to have a shelf for those in the shower, or wall mounts for them, as they have in almost every other hotel we've ever been to. We loved this hotel, its location, the service, and found it perfect to explore Portree and Skye.

This review is only on the dining experience. This was a quick find as trying to find evening seating in Portree is difficult during tourist/holiday times. We got seats and after a day out on the mountains were were very pleased to get a table. Their lentil soup was very flavorful and filling. The chicken breast was well cooked and their haggis was also flavorful. The steak au poive sauce was nice but their large amount of pepper corns was a little much.

I would say that lunch in particular is to be recommended, lots of good value food - and massive baked potatoes! The home made soup is always good - but I hate the way the same soup will also be served in the evening, but at a cost of £1 more per bowl - for the same size of bowl. So that's what's stopping Portree House getting a 5 star review - the fact that the pricing structure is a little, well, annoying for want of a better word. They can't be faulted on the quality of the food though - and the service is always good, and the staff generally friendly.
