Situated on the picturesque Isle of Raasay, a 5-minute walk from the ferry terminal, newly refurbished in 2013 Raasay House Hotel is nestled in a Georgian mansion with beautifully landscaped lawns.

The staff was super friendly and going out of their way to make end meet at any time. The house is a wee bit old fashioned but in a warm and cosy way. The restaurant at the house was not open so I had to dine at the nearby distillery twice. The food there is decent but the service is not a la carte. You have to book the menu for £55. Also, be aware that you are staying on a very small island. There is no other option for dining or breakfast. I do enjoy my stay very much. I hiked to the top of Dun Cana and back and attended the distillery tour. Raasay House and the island is definitely worth a visit!!
Set in a converted cluster of fisherman’s houses along Portree Harbour the hotel offers plenty of character and quirks. There are 17 en-suite bedrooms with all expected facilities.

Tremendous location. Good bar and restaurant. The grilled langoustines were particularly delicious. The full Scottish breakfast was just right. The staff were friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to help when necessary.

Very comfortable stay in such a lovely caravan! Our host was very kind and the place is wonderful.
The position is adequate to visitate Skye.

The Distillery is a great option to stay while visiting the Highlands and going up north. It's a top choice to feel and breathe the nature while enjoying a very comfortable evening. It is a good idea to bring the car into the island if you can spare the time to tour around - just beware that you have to fit your schedule to the ferry timetables and it can be tricky on Sundays. Regarding meal options, also note that there could be no other options apart from the hotel ( we were here mid-May).

The location, walking, scenery is fantastic, distillery tour is interesting and whisky tasting is informative. Staff are friendly and informative.
The downstairs room (6) requires work, has no openable windows, no AC and has forced air ventilation which is noisy and can’t be switched off. Basin is set far too low for use and there is no hot water in the basin. No place to unpack clothes so if staying longer than one night, have to live out of your suitcase

Fab location, accommodation.
Fab location, accommodation. You need to make sure to plan your trip around the ferry times or you will not make it to the island. Great for all sorts of activities on the water and on the land. We biked it and although it was taxing (ver hilly) the views and wildlife spotting make it so worthwhile. We saw two golden eagles for example. 👍

We only stayed 1 night. We have arrived with the last ferry. After checking in, we had a drive on the island end-to-end. Spectacular and very beautiful (wild).
We didn't had dinner or breakfast (we left with the first ferry), so I can't speak for the food.

Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye.
Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye. Definitely more to explore than just the distillery. Some beautiful, but pretty hard going, walks / hikes with amazing views and hidden gems...like the tiny cave on the walk to Fladday. Get a good map and strong boots and enjoy.

Intended as a stop over before our ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy the following day, our short visit to Raasay House got our holiday off to a great start.
The friendly staff were very accommodating of a family travelling with a large dog! Everything about Raasay House had us wishing we had booked to stay for longer.
The 20 minute ferry crossing from Skye is well worth the spectacular views of the Cuillins of Skye from the lawn in front of the hotel and from the bar where we ate in the evening and the brasserie where we were served a delicious breakfast.
We LOVED it here! Such a gem! Fantastic facilities and rooms with great amenities. It’s a super special hotel as you’re not only staying at the distillery but there are only six rooms (currently). So it’s a wonderfully quiet/restful stay on a peaceful island…with whiskey! Also, pretty sure the chef is secretly Master Michelin chef. As most people leave the island on the last ferry, there was only us, the locals, and the Raasay crew at the bar-and talking to the people who stayed was a special memory for us. We’ll be back.
A last minute decision when accommodations on Skye were unavailable. Great decision! The stay included a free tour of the distillery. We also booked dinner on site and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Lovely pastoral setting and water views. Our room looked newly decorated, clean and fresh, very comfortable. Breakfast was also quite tasty — cooked to order. Not suitable for guests with mobility issues.
Amazing place! The location/setting is exceptional. Beautiful view from the restaurant overlooking the Isle of Skye. Staff is wonderful and breakfast had a great selection. The library is a hidden gem. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Make sure that you check out the gardens behind the building and the church ruins.
I wish we had more time to explore the area.
Hotel is modern, new and beautifully decorated. The staff was very nice. I was impressed with the dinner because it was a fixed 6 meal course and all the dishes were worthy of a fine dining experience. They also gave me a tour to the distillery and explained the whiskey process. The tour is free/included with the stay.
I really loved my stay in this hotel.
Location is perfect, the room was comfortable and the views were amazing… we particularly liked the honesty bar and the residents lounge, again this was comfortable and the views were to die for. The distillery tour was informative and fun, Steve was the best tour guide. We would highly recommend the Isle of Raasay Distillery to everyone.
The friendly and helpful staff, the plush accommodations, the large portion of delicious, fresh mussels at dinner, the view of Skye right out our bedroom window, the laid back and friendly atmosphere, the bathroom sink with one faucet handle for water temperature, the multiple outlets with USB slots in them.
Staff were fantastic, the room itself was spacious and very comfortable. Fabulous location. Dinner was wonderful - best steak I've ever had! and lots of gluten free options.
Very happy we had a night away in Raasay, it's a wonderful place to explore!
Located on the Isle of Raasay, this hotel is so cool when you see it from the ferry. It’s a one min drive off the ferry and a 5 min walk to the distillery.
The on-site restaurant is delicious and the staff are so sweet and helpful.
Amazing stay in Raasay, very welcoming and comfortable. Lovely room, Incredible view from the dining room, delicious breakfast. The tour of the distillery is also a must. Everything is lovely and the staff is attentive and caring.
A small little place on this planet which was overwhelming and outstanding! What a magnificent hotel and distillery to stay in. Very welcoming staff and the whiskey tasting very enjoyable and relaxing. Breakfast was 5 star!!!
We had a fantastic trip! We got upgraded to a balcony suite with amazing views across Skye. Great service all day and the food was exceptional. Nice surrounding area to go walking. Will be returning again :)
The welcome,rooms,all staff were excellent-looked after our every need and were most kind.A beautiful home away from home for us and a great base to explore this magical island.Thank you Raasay House😊
This is a unique hotel stay, as it is the only hotel on a small island. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience from our room, to the staff, the location and scenery - it was all outstanding.
Loved the location, the room and the friendly greeting we recieved upon arrival. Very happy that the hotel was dog friendly. Excellent tour around the distillery included.
