Simply put, this is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. How it gained an entry in the Good Hotel Guide is beyond me. My online reservation was made three months in advance of the two night stay, and I paid an extra £20 per night for a Cuillin Hills view. This took the rate to £200 a... More

Having read the reviews, we treated ourselves to a 2 night stay on a west coast tour and weren't disappointed. This hotel was originally a hunting lodge for the Clan MacDonald and they knew where to build it - probably the best position in Portree on the banks of the bay overlooking the harbour with the Cuillin Hills in the...

We have just returned from a 14 day, 10 hotel tour of the Highlands and Islands. We thought this would be the highlight of the tour. Wrong .Whilest the room was comfortable the whole stay was marred by the poor standards in the restaurant I do not expect a hotel of this standard to 'run out' of the 2 main... More

We have just had 3 days in the Cuillin Hills Hotel. The staff could not do enough for my husband and me. From the day I booked it, they have gone above and beyond to make our stay the best experience. The room was immaculate, well furnished and extremely comfortable. The food was beautifully presented and tasted divine. All staff... More

We stayed at the Cuillin Hills last week while on a mini tour or Skye, luckily the weather when we arrived was perfect with lovely sunny views of the Cullen hills. The hotel is in a lovely position and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We had ground floor rooms with sea views that appeared to have been refurbished... More

Rooms excellent, nicely appointed and good facilities. This place is let down by chaotic service in the restaurant which added to some average food makes the restaurant an unappealing option. Each day at breakfast you have to ask for tea/coffee, ask for toast, ask to order a hot meal etc etc. No-one seems to be in charge and even though... More

This is a beautiful hotel overlooking Portree harbour and the Cuillins. We were very fortunate in the room we had as I am disabled and it was beautifully fitted out and very clean. I think the kitchen lets this hotel down badly. Breakfast was extremely good, freshly cooked and served to your table. But bearing in mind that the menu... More

This is an excellent hotel overlooking the harbour.The rooms (we had one of the premier rooms)are first class all the facilities anyone could want.We ate in the restaurant on the 2days we visited and the food was outstanding this combined with the young staff who were a credit to the hotel made it a memorable experience.We would definitely come again
