    We loved every aspect of Taransay House from the room to the service to the food. It was all amazing. The hosts were very knowledgeable of the local area and provided great insights into the best places to visit. We could not recommend this place any more.

    the stay was too short

    This 4 room hotel that includes breakfast and dinner is one of the best Hotels i've ever stayed in. For comparison purposes I've stayed at the Hassler in Rome, the St Regis in NYC and numerous Four Seasons and Ritz Carltons across Europe. the food is killer and there is nothing Murdo who runs Taransay with his son will not do for you.

    There is nothing that I did not like.

    If you are not staying at Taransay House while in Portree, you are truly missing out! The location is absolutely spectacular. The food was out of this world and the service was even better. My friend and I enjoyed our stay and would would book again if I ever find myself in Portree again.

    Amazing contemporary property with views of the water. Interior is in excellent condition and has every amenity you could possibly want. A super king bed with large sitting area, roomy shower in bathroom with a soaking tub. Breakfast and Dinner was included with our stay. Many thanks to Chef Scott for 3 exceptional breakfasts and dinners that rival any Michelin star restaurant. All prepared with locally sourced. Thanks also to Murdo for all the best walking trails on Skye to fantastic service and great coffee. We loved all our chats. Can say enough good things about Taransay House. Truly an exceptional place to spend a few days on the beautiful Isle of Skye.

    Was meant to give a 10 but in my opinion, it was a bit too pricey for a night stay.

    Where do I start? The host welcomed us in personally when we arrived, gave us some whiskey, gave us a room tour, and we had a nice chat, he also provided us with what to see during our drive from Portree to Inverness the next day! The room itself was bright and modern, with a nice double bed and a decent bathtub! The view from the room is excellent, overlooking Loch Portree. The food provided in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast (both included in the price) was really good! Would definitely recommend staying here as a nice treat to yourself!

    Nothing. It was fantastic.

    Taransay House is one of the best places I have stayed. Murdo and Scott were amazing hosts - including but not limited to chef, activities suggestor, weathermen…. The room/hotel was a lovely size, the amenities were great (huge bath, separate shower, wonderful linens, king bed, separate seating), very thick walls so very quiet, great views, close to town, food was amazing with Scott planning each day with you

    Exceptional family-owned accommodation, with the attention to detail. We loved every minute of our stay here and would like to thank Murdo and Alison for their hospitality, and Scott for the exceptional cuisine - we had a great dinner experience compared to a Michelin-starred restaurant. Next time when we are back to Portree there is no question for us where to stay :)
