Everything was good and most importantly the bed was comfortable. The only concern I had was there being no lift which is tough when you are old with mobility issues. However, after finding myself on the third floor the hotel were able to move me down to the first making life so much easier. I was grateful

The staff was very good polite and courteous, the breakfast spreads excellent, the bedroom were tidy however light duvet on a single bed and no top sheet were an issue. I found that during the night because the duvet was so light it would slip off when I turned over, causing to wake me up and leaving me tired on the morning. I would suggest that the hotel include adding top sheets to their single beds to prevent issues.

Great location right in Portree. Good food in the restaurant and there are many other restaurants within walking distance.
Our room was right at the front of the hotel and there was some noise in the square but it did not bother us and I am a very light sleeper.
Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Would stay there again. Travelled with family. Room accommodated 3 adults with room to spare.

Have come across friendlier hotels! Room had very bright fire exit signs, so couldn't sleep well. Stay was just ok, comfortable, but wouldn't rush back. Decent breakfast and came quick.

The rooms were spotless. First night Room 1 - The shower couldnt be used as the thermostat was not working and only scalding hot water was output. I was moved to another room for the 2nd night. First night I was on the 3rd floor and found the steps to my room were too steep for me to negotiate. It was unpleasant. 2nd room I was on 1st Floor. Molly? housekeeping staff was very friendly, and I appreciated her assistance.

Breakfast saved the stay.
Terrible service, it was as if the staff didn't want us to be there. Only 1 staff member we dealt with was any good. Clean room. V small bathroom. Great breakfast.

Great location; harbour nearby and amazing walks and scenery easily accessible. Room on 3rd floor, clean and well supplied but overpriced. Service was generally ok but obviously overstretched.

This is an older hotel that offers basic rooms, our one was on a smaller side, but everything was clean and comfortable. We did not have the opportunity to try their restaurant as it was fully booked the night we stayed but we really enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is in a really good location within walking distance from the main shopping area, with several restaurants nearby. Please note there is no elevator in this hotel but they offered to help us carry our luggage upstairs to our room.

Right in the heart of Portree, this was a fabulous place to stay. The Antlers bar and restaurant was very convenient to have dinner after a long day exploring Skye without going to far and the included breakfast was a similar lifesaver. The staff are so kind and the check in/out process was super fast and simple
My only warning would be that there is no lift, which they mention on their website, but figured I’d reiterate. I was fine as I travel light but again, it’s nice for other travelers to know!

I booked the twin room because I planned to be out and about all day, but ended up getting sick. It's a cozy room with everything you need, but gets a little snug when you spend two whole days stuck in there 😂 Definitely the smallest room of my trip!
It's right in the middle of town, next to the bus stop, so it was incredibly convenient. The restaurant is delicious, too, which is good because it's a small town and there aren't many other options. I ate all my meals there and had no complaints. Plus, breakfast was a cold buffet & hot menu, which was a nice change of pace from the other places I stayed around Scotland, which all had identical buffets.
The bathroom was actually surprisingly big, considering the room size, but I had trouble with the shower. It would cycle between too-hot and too-cold every ten seconds or so, with very brief intervals at a reasonable temperature.
Also, it's an old building and doesn't have an elevator, so keep that in mind if you have a problem with stairs!
