Nicely done rooms in the distillery. Room was comfortable and had amazing view. Price was a bit high for the level offered and it was disappointing that the restaurant is closed mid week as the dining experience next door is not to be recommended.

Sleeping in a distillery was awesome! Everyone was very friendly and helpful answering our questions. A complimentary whiskey in a room was a pleasant surprise. Island is very walkable and views are amazing. The only downside is room was on a small side but it worked for us since we had two smaller bags. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.
We very much enjoyed the lounge area and talking with other guests. The food was good. The staff mostly were very pleasant. And we very much enjoyed our tasting. Thank you.
Phenomenal place to stay. Isle of Raasay Distillery is a really neat community project and it has community themes included in all the designs of the building, bottles, etc. Everyone is very friendly, the food is amazing, and the rooms are comfortable. This place is still young so I'm excited to see how it's doing in the next 5-10 years!
Very unique property, from the ferry trip to Raasay to the distillery tour that was included with our stay to the delicious full breakfast. Definitely recommend
The rooms here were very cozy and comfortable. We had a lovely breakfast and free distillery tour/tasting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Scenery around the hotel was gorgeous and unforgettable.
This place is a real find. The rooms are all modern, comfortable, quite, clean and stylish. The food was outstanding. Staff was super friendly and helpful. A great spot for a natural getaway with lovely walks.
The views from the distillery over to Skye are incredible. The bedroom was spacious, comfortable, clean and luxurious. Breakfasts were delicious, and the option of a packed lunch and a private chef on Sundays when everything else on the island is closed, is a masterstroke, and amazing value. We loved this place, and our nights on Raasay were a wonderful change of pace from how busy Skye was - we would recommend the distillery to anyone looking for a luxury break on a beautiful island, and we will endeavour to come bacm at some stage.
This is a really amazing place to stay . We had an accessible room on the ground floor . The distillery /hotel is an old building which has been completely refurbished using attractive light wood . The view of the sea and Skye from the Gathering Room is amazing . It's well worth doing a distillery tour during your stay too .
Very good buffet breakfast . Highly recommended .
The original room we were given was very hot. Luckily there was a no show and the staff gave us their room. The staff was excellent, helping with our luggage. It seems that when we book via Expedia, we are given the least desirable room. Also when rooms say they have A/C, they often do not. My wife has MS and it is medically necessary for her to have A/C. It puts her at risk when we book a room that does not have an accurate description.
Beautiful view. Would be helpful if the hotel emailed ahead saying if you want to eat on the Isle of Raasay, then you must make reservations at the Raasay House for dinner at least one day in advance. We ended up eating at a bar before boarding ferry because there was no space at the restaurant.
It would have been nice to have had a tour around the distillery included for guests rather than having to pay extra to go around, but apart from that this hotel is fabulous! Amazing scenery from the public areas. Staff all very nice and helpful. Would definitely visit again
The only thing that could have better was communication prior to arrival, unless you are familiar with the location you may not realize you to catch a ferry and the last run on Sunday’s is at five, just glad we made it in time.
One night on the island (which I'd never been to before) was not enough. Although it's a small island there's a lot to see and do. Ideal for walking or cycling (MTBs would be best for the various tracks). The island had a special 'feel' about it, a positive one! Calum's road's worth a trip!!!
