This was one of the most beautiful hotels and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend doing the breakfast as it was fantastic and perfect before we set off to explore Isle of Skye for the day. I cannot recommend this place enough. Every staff member was amazing and so friendly!

Staff and service were great. Bungalow was perfect. Would be a little out of the way if you’re walking but not undo able.

The cosy cabin was clean and quiet located on hill. The main lodge was modern and comfortable. It was about a mile from the small town of Portree. While I did enjoy my stay, I felt it was very overpriced.

I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The little units were well equipped with a bed and bathroom, air conditioning, TV etc. The units are small but it was such an interesting experience so would highly recommend. The restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was well done and dinners were top notch. My only complaint was the main hall was warm but other than that it was well done.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast. Our pod was very distant from main building. Walking in the rain back and forth was a little inconvenient. Overall, great stay.

Hotel was close enough to walk to the city but distant enough to where you could enjoy the peace. Staff was very nice and helpful with our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly while they were attending to us. Would recommend to others to stay here.

Overall the cabin is very nice with great views. The food is amazing.
There are a few little things that were missed, that would've made the place exquisite. After check-in, we found an empty bottle of body wash and almost empty shampoo bottle. We got a half-empty bottle from the front desk that was never replaced during the 3 nights stay.
The walk to the top cabin was long and steep.
There are not enough instructions in the room or available at the desk for opertaing the heat/AC and the in-room safe.

Not 4 Star. Way too expensive. Pathways to pods, rocky and uneven. Breakfast, can't think of one that was worse. Plus, Staff were friendly and helpfull.

Our room, cabin, was all the way on top of hill and we had to walk up a gravel road to get there. We were not aware of that, I had knee problem and could not walk up. They gave us instead the smallest cabin with no space to move or store anything and the install shower would not drain.

Really unique accommodations. Very quiet and private "hides" or huts tucked on a hill overlooking beautiful Skye landscapes. A central building with an awesome dining room, bar and game/relaxing area is steps away.
Check-in was fast and easy with friendly and professional staff. Only meals we ate here was breakfast and it was great. Service was great. Coffee was great. Poached eggs on avocado toast was great. Fruit and croissants were also great. Just a 10-12 minute stroll to Portree Harbor.
Highly recommend.
