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 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. The staff was friendly and attentive. If you're able to visit the food is warming and filling. Truly a nice find.

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.

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.

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 hotel staff was lovely and helpful. We were smart enough to have made a dinner reservation before our arrival for our one night stay. Nice pubby dark wood décor and seating spread over a couple of rooms. Many tables occupied on our visit. Dinner menu Scottish leaning as to be expected. It was clear from the outset that they were low on staff with our (very young) server and water coming a good bit after seating. My partner was not real hungry this evening so chose to do a bowl of the soup the day-potato & leek. This came with a wonderful, fresh roll. The roll was pronounced fantastic. We have enjoyed many an excellent bread item in Scotland and this was another example here. They know what they're doing. The soup was very tasty but after a few spoonfulls, it became "boring". My choice was a Filet of Scottish Sea Trout (yes it is different from Salmon, Google it). Served with roasted new potatoes, braised leeks, herb crusted baby carrots, and smoked mussel butter sauce. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, as were the leeks. The carrots were interesting with the herb "crust", and the mussel sauce added an umami depth to the fish. Interestingly, the sauce included a few nicely cooked, out of the shell, mussels. A succulent addition. Loved every bite. For dessert, we chose a Cinnamon Apple Tart with Caramel Whipped Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream. All of this came together for a scrumptious finale to our meal. Especially the whipped cream. Perfect portion size also. Different planning could have put us here for a longer period of time and it would have been wonderful. If you are traveling in this area, try to either stay or eat here. You won't regret it. Highly recommended.
