Hotel was close enough to walk to the city but distant enough to where you could enjoy the peace. Staff was very nice and helpful with our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly while they were attending to us. Would recommend to others to stay here.

We had one of the newer cabins. It’s a little of a hike to all the cabins. The main reception has a chic bar and nice restaurant. Gorgeous view.
The biggest issue, which was significant, was that our room was not ready on arrival after 4:30 pm, and the same on the first day of our stay after a long day out.
Also, quite important, it would be more than a 20-25’ walk to town…which is not what I expected.

Hideaway on an Isle of Skye Hillside
Really unique accommodations. Very quiet and private "hides" or huts tucked on a hill overlooking beautiful Skye landscapes. A central building with an awesome dining room, bar and game/relaxing area is steps away.
Check-in was fast and easy with friendly and professional staff. Only meals we ate here was breakfast and it was great. Service was great. Coffee was great. Poached eggs on avocado toast was great. Fruit and croissants were also great. Just a 10-12 minute stroll to Portree Harbor.
Highly recommend.

The cabins were small but very cosy, lovely towels for shower and very nice toiletries, bed was very comfortable. There was a great choice at breakfast, we ate twice in the evening at the hotel and like breakfast it was all freshly cooked and very generous portions, food was first class! Staff were attentive and very friendly! We loved our stay and would love to stay again!

Beautiful views, fantastic restaurant. While the walk up the hill to our cabin was a bit much, the view, the quiet, and the uniqueness of it all more than made up for it. We had a fantastic time.

Amazing hotel with fantastic views across the Isle of Skye and the surrounding sea. Modern, very “Bind villain” vibe to the main building, all the guest rooms are individual pods in the surrounding grounds. These are quite small but well done and very cosy. The food in the hotel was excellent - we had breakfast twice and a festive dinner one night, all amazing. Probably the best hotel on Skye and well worth it. Oh and all the staff were super helpful and friendly, and the bar did great cocktails. We’ll definitely be back.
