Really enjoyed my stay here while hiking the Isle of Skye. This is a new hostel but ever since…read morethey've opened, they've been at 94% capacity. I was here during the high season (i.e. summer) and seemed like all hostels on the Isle of Skye were booked up. I called up this hostel and was happy to hear about available beds. But ouch, price per bed per night is £22 (or around $35). A bit pricey, but by then I was already used to how pricey the UK is. Awesome location, one minute walk from the bus station and not too far from the Co-op supermarket and Portree Harbour. If you continue walking past the harbour along the water, you'll eventually hit a trail with awesome views of the landscape. Because the hostel is new, it's incredibly clean. No backpacker dinginess, yet! I had one of the greatest showers ever after a day of hiking Quiraing and Old Man of Storr on a rainy day. The common/dining room has an awesome view of the bay. Each bed has an electrical outlet and reading light. My 4-bed female dorm had a cabinet in which you can lock your belongings. I always bring my own padlock but you can get one from reception. I do wish there were more sinks and toilets. There were only two toilets and two sinks on my floor. Kitchen has a place to store your groceries on shelves, and stickers are provided so you can label your stuff placed in the fridge and shelf. There are 8 burners, a microwave, an oven and plenty of bowls and plates. However, it was quite crowded around dinner time with everyone preparing their meals at the same time. I also noticed no common ingredients like spices nor oil was provided. Upon check-in, you're given a code you have to enter in your browser to access the wifi. However the wifi kept logging out so I had to keep re-entering the code. But at least there was wifi. My SIM card plan included data but it never worked on the Isle of Skye! I noticed a lot of families staying at the hostel but not too many single travelers the time I was there. Not really a party hostel. I really hated to leave this place.

Shower stalls are a bit small but clean and do the job. Plenty of storage cubbies which actually came in handy. Breakfast in the am was super good and sever quick. The porridge was very good. Eggs were made to style , coffee tea and biscuits also good. Plenty of extra things as well such as cereal , yogurt , juice etc. you won't leave breakfast hungry. Only "negatives " were the stairs . Definitely not good if you have any type of leg/knee issues and no outlet next to bed . Other than that we were very happy and the location is fantastic right in the center of town basically. For service would say 5 star

B&B main judgement bar for me? Tea and coffee facilities. Great, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, all clean, bathroom is lovely and modern, excellent shower, fluffy, nice smelling bath robes (great after you've been a tit and just thrown yourself in the fairy pools in the autumn rain). Big, gentlemen style, green leather sofas to cosy up on in the lounge area with a night cap, super comfy beds, all well equipped and well kept. On top of the breakfast view, the food is great. I had the Blairdhu Cairn, black pudding and poached egg balanced on top of tatty scone. Fruit, yoghurts, cake, cereals and your standard fare to help yourself to too, with nice jams and marmalades as well. There are tellies in the room and in the room for breakfast with the news on, free wifi, and ample parking. I intend to go to skye again soon, because I love it, and I want to see the dinosaur footprints they discovered, practically immediately after we got back, and I would happily stay here again when I do.

The property has 6 rooms and is situated on a large elevated spacious lot with plenty of parking and free Wi-Fi.

Amenities included robes (aka dressing gowns), hair dryer, in-room tea and flat screen TV. The modern bathroom featured a stall shower (with plenty of hot water) fluffy towels, shampoo/bath gel and a vanity with space for your toiletries. Our room did not have a view but was quiet and private, the large window faced the side garden. The breakfast options include a full Scottish breakfast as well as many other healthy choices to suit all tastes, service was friendly and efficient. Our host Fiona was helpful and welcoming.

For our HONEYMOON the wife and I stayed at the Skeabost House Hotel in their new Gatehouse…read moreproperty, a small separated dwelling on property just a 15 minute walk from the hotel. It's Gott two bedrooms and a single large bathroom, with a lovely livingroom and smart TV to hang out and enjoy. The only thing the Gatehouse lacked was a kitchen. But with the hotel restaurant just a few minutes down the road, it wasn't much of an issue. It's expensive, but it's a great place to stay. It's private and secluded but still feels like a wonderful party of the hotel. The Gatehouse was in wonderful shape, and the bathroom is downright incredible. It's super comfy and cozy and we adored every minute of it. It's just very expensive, so be prepared - but at the end of the day it's meant for more than two people so perhaps our perspective is skewed. The grounds are lovely, primed for a wonderful post-breakfast constitutional every morning. But what's even lovelier is the staff. Literally everyone is just cheery and happy and smiley and full of good conversation. Seriously. They took such good care of us, and were just a delight to be around. I'm so grateful for the staff here. Dinners were decent; the dining room is sort of odd. Definitely good food, but the lighting is strange. It's at once sort of dim, and also a very uncomfortable color temperature. They are at like a good 5500k and should be much closer to a 4000-4500k. I'm super sensitive to color temperature of lights, so your mileage is gonna vary here but I found that sort of odd. Anyway, breakfasts here are also just intensely awesome. Wonderful service, super fabulous dining room, and I just ate porridge and bacon the entire time because if you order the porridge they'll give you syrup and sugar and WHISKY to put it in it. It's amazing. And also genuinely delicious. And porridge is SUCH a better name for oatmeal than oatmeal. Everything's better in Scotland! Especially given that on the Isle of Skye it can be very difficult to find dinner if you've not previously made reservations or aren't in the center of Portree, it's wonderful to have a home base for your time there where you know you'll be able to get in and get food every night. And to have it be so very wonderful and delicious and served in a wonderful space by wonderful people who feel more like friends than staff? This place is amazing. I'm so grateful for it, and the people there, and it was all I wanted for my honeymoon. I'm so happy!

The waitress and bartender were super friendly - she advised us that the table we had chosen was dog height and since they allow dogs, we should be careful of our food being nicked! I ordered the soup, which I believe was butternut squash. It was not unpleasantly salty, as though it had fish sauce in it. Very interesting. My husband had the Highland Rump roast and it was perfectly cooked. Unfortunately they were out of Guinness at the time.
