The Cuillin Hills has a superb location. It overlooks Portree Bay and is just a few minutes walk to the centre of Portree. We had a four-poster room which looked out across the Bay which was very relaxing. The public rooms also have areas overlooking the bay . The check-in at the hotel is efficient and you are given assistance... more

Well, actually there is. The view from the front lawn of the Cuillin Hills and Portree harbour is absolutely breathtaking. But what about the hotel itself? I see other reviews are quite generous so let me hasten to add that we had no complaints, nobody was rude, staff were helpful, nothing was broken or dirty and the rooms were comfortable... more

I stayed for one night. There are only a few hotel choices in Portree, the remainder being bed and breakfast. Cuillin Hills is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the center of town. It was well kept, and staff is very helpful. My single room was adequate, clean, comfortable (though small) and functional, and the bathroom was quite large by... more

We stayed in the premier room with large bay window and the view was amazing. Room was very spacious, with equally generous bathroom. Four poster bed and thick carpets – no noise from anywhere else. Our booking was all inclusive (DB&B) and the Restaurant was very nice with a good menu that changed daily. Attentive service, very good quality food... more

I stayed at this hotel with one of my friends. It was an ideal location for walking as we were very much in the middle of the island where we could either go north or south to walk. We had a premier room at the front of the hotel which had amazing views of the sea across to the harbour... more

This hotel is just fantastic. My wife and I just spent two nights there with our two teenage sons. The accommodation is of a very high standard, as are the staff. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Should be higher graded than it is by the Scottish Tourist Board. Hard to see how the place could be better! more

Yes this is indeed a gem of a hotel! We wanted an island break and searched online and were lucky enough to find a nice b & b with one dinner deal. The staff really are special here: very personal attention but, as someone else has commented, not intrusive. The food was simply great : the smoked salmon was in... more

This is the second of six reviews covering our 2007 tour of Scotland. Our tour takes us from our home in Hampshire up the West coast of Scotland and over to Orkney back over to Scotland and down the East coast to Aberdeen then home via York. The Cuillin Hills was the 2nd hotel of our marathon tour; we arrived... more

What an oasis! The hotel is situated above Portree harbour and the views are magnificant, although made better as the weather was just fab. We were upgraded to a larger room, but unfortunately it didn't have a great view, but the bathroom was large and had nice toiletries. The staff were extremely friendly, in particular one of the young waitresses... more

Beautiful view of the bay from this old world hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and a credit to the hospitality industry. Food and accomodation were excellent. Highly recommended. more
