We loved everything. Hosts were amazing. Room and bathroom very clean and with very good quality products. Breakfast was amazing too. Check in procedure smooth. Such a peaceful location, yet well connected to the main roads.
I was initially going to score 9/10 as 10 is a hard one to give, but give all the other places we stayed at.. this is 20/10 by far. Value for money was unvelievable as well. Hope it stays like this.
We will return and spend more time!

Fantastatic breakfast in a cute environment. Lovely place to stay. Great location situated with a great view and close to the city centre with everything in walking distance.
On average, 3-star hotels in Portree cost £212 per night, and 4-star hotels in Portree are £255 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Portree can on average be found for £344 per night (based on Booking.com prices).
Visited in May and it was very busy. Good for access to rest of Skye. Restaurants didn't open for the full week, despite the resort being "full" (according to availability of accommodation). Also many don't take bookings so unless you want to eat at 5.30pm you have to stand outside in a queue for a table to become free.

A location for myths, legends and beautiful nature.
A location for myths, legends and beautiful nature.
Things to see and do:
1. Plunge your face in the water under Sligachan Bridge for a faerie blessing.
2. Hike up to the old man of Storr.
3. Go to the top of the Bride Veil's Falls and drink a sip for good luck.
4. Visit Talisker (Book months in advance for a distillery tour), but the visitor shop is worthwhile regardless - you can engrave a bottle or draw your own bottle from a cask yourself without a tour.
We spent more time in the surrounding areas than the actual town itself, special sites and nature. The town itself is good for a night or two, but I'd focus my efforts on the landscape of Skye instead of the inside of the shops of Skye.
Be sure to factor in opening times for certain restaurants. Most places have a "no booking" policy, so you can expect to stand in line when wanting to eat out at the recommended places.
Spots to eat that we tried:
- The Lower Deck Seafood (Queue 30min before opening time) located on the harbour side.
- The Isles Inn (Walk-in 30min before you're hungry) with live music almost every night around 21:00ish.
Spots for great coffee:
Talisker - just outside they have Caora Dhubh Coffee Company. Worth the coffee itself if you're after the best cup of coffee in Skye.

Portree is lovely.
Portree is lovely. We visited in early may and the crowds were mostly manageable. I would be a little concerned in the heart of the season. My suggestion to the powers that be would be to consider shuttle busses to the popular sites from centralized collection points; discourage rental cars from driving to the sites independently in some way. The small roads and on-site car parks can become overly crowded. We couldn't get near Quiraing for the traffic on the winding one lane road. In all other respects, Skye and Portree are lovely and a pleasure to visit.

I only spent one night in Portree so my judgement is limited. Even before the tourist season started, it was quite crowded. I can’t imagine what it must be like at the height of the season. Skye is lovely but expensive compared to other locations in Scotland.

favorite spot was driving though the Scottish highlands , we ate at it was lower deck seafood restaurant okay (do not liked their fish and chips terrible ! and don't recommend _ , but the scenery and peacefulness and landscape was heavenly
One of the best hotels I've stayed in! Taigh Scalpaigh is modern comfort at its best. The room was so comfortable and stylish. Stunning views from the room and from the breakfast area. On a clear day, you can actually see the Old man of Storr while eating breakfast! The location is perfect, only 6 min drive to Portree. Our host even left cupcakes and treats in our room which was a welcomed surprise after a long journey to get there. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Skye.
We were very happy with our 3-night stay here. The 3 of us stayed in a room that did not have an ensuite bathroom, but it was just a step across the hall to it and this was not an inconvenience at all. Both the room and bathroom were spotless when we arrived. The location in downtown Portree gave us access to many of Skye's sights, and there were lots of eating options within a short walk each night. This is a very nice place to stay, with staff who gave excellent directions about the check-in process.
We liked it because it was in the country but you could walk to Portree. Our hosts were very knowledgeable in numerous attractions for the Isle of Skye. They had many maps and pamphlets available but their local knowledge was most valuable. We wanted to explore the local hike to Portree which one portion of the trail followed the coastline. Sunny day but we had the trail all to ourselves. Another Highlight was the beautiful view from our room.
The host were very friendly & welcoming. Our room was small but the beds & pillows were so comfortable we slept well. The breakfast was amazing so much choice & really delicious. You could easily walk into the Portree township 5 mins, there’s lots of restaurants & hotels to choose from for dinner or lunch.. But you do need to book in advance.
I would highly recommend Meadowbank guest house if staying in Portree.
Good location in the middle of the higland and near to Portree (10 minutes by car) where you cam found market, pub and restaurants.
It was perfetc for our roadtrip in the higlands.
It’s a camping pod not a hotel room so you don’t expect alle the conmfort that you can found in a usal hotel.
The Staff is fantastic, they were always available from the booking and they help us with all our request
By far and away the best accomodation of our 8 day trip to scotland. A huge room built by the side of the owners house and a fantastic cooked breakfast brought to you on a tray the next morning. Owners were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Dont hesitate to book this accomodation if you're visiting portree on the isle of skye.
A wonderful experience.
It was a very beautiful bed and breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, the host cooked us a huge buffet style breakfast every morning. So many choices for all dietary concerns, absolutely delicious. We chose this B&B for the location and parking. It was a 5-minute walk into Portree, great central location for our drive around the Island.
the location of the hotel was good, close proximity to Portree.
The room was well kept and provided a very relaxing space. the garden were very tastefully done and the views were amazing.
Providing breakfast was a very thoughtful gesture.
the host was very friendly and welcoming.
would high recommend this place
The location is great with Portree Harbour only an 8 minute walk away and a lot of visitor attractions within 30 minute drive. The property itself is spacious and a really high standard as well as having everything you would need in the kitchen. If I was heading to Skye again I would definitely book here.
The staff at the hotel were very attentive and always a pleasure to interact with. The breakfast was good but not spectacular but was very accommodating for my wife's gluten allergy. It was a short walk from the hotel to Portree which was great for exploring or grabbing a bite to eat.
Accommodations and staff are amazing! Location is perfect with beautiful views of Loch Portree and mountains; close to town. Incredible breakfasts included in the price (just a short walk up private drive to the Cuillin Hills Hotel). Mini bar and hot tub. Highly recommend.
The hotel is a bit out of Portree but, it is well worth the 10 minute drive to stay here. The grounds are beautiful, the food was wonderful and the staff was incredible. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and welcoming experience.
Unbelievably clean, the host does a huge job in cleaning in between visits. Felt like a completely new room!
We were both happy with the accomodationa and the hotel!
Great location near the town of portree!
easy to walk around Portree. Good location to explore Isle of Skye. Breakfast was included and was decent for a hotel breakfast. The view of Portree Harbor from our room was the best part of the stay.
The hotel has a perfect location in Portree and walking distance to the restaurants in the harbour. The staff were really kind and very helpful offering printing the tickets to the ferry in Armadale
The hotel is in the heart of Portree.
Staff it’s been amazing and also the room, clean and comfy.
We had everything we need, if you are around Isle of Skye I would really recommend this place!
This a beautiful modern house within walking distance of Portree's town center. Lots of space and modern amenities. Enormous kitchen. Convenient location to explore the Isle of Skye.
Beautiful new hotel, price on the higher side vs what you can get in the island, like Edinbane Inn or Three Chinneys. It should have been 30% cheaper for it to be value for money.
The location of the hotel was superb....probably the best in Portree. It was also close to restaurants and a small supermarket. The staff were very pleasant and helpful
