My girlfriend and I just returned from 3 nights at the Bosville. What we expected and what we got were just poles apart...we splashed out and opted for one of their "Superior" rooms at £128 per night (not cheap) as it pomised a "sea view"
What we got ;

a view of the local supermarket in a busy street,
the clattering of the associated delivery lorry at 5.50am each morning,
a sub standard cooked breakfast,
loose shower fittings in the bathroom,

As for the promised sea view..lets just say if you looked way over to the left you could see a really small bit of it through the trees !
Its simply over rated, way over priced and doesn't even come close to what I would expect from a real 4 star hotel.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great experience. The entire staff was extremely helpful (especially Donna the bartender!) and they were all genuinely excited when they heard we just got engaged. The room decor is very modern and includes a flatscreen tv. Wireless internet connection is available, and the bathrooms are very clean. As far as parking, lets be honest here, Portree is a very small town, and although the hotel doesn't have a car park you won't have to walk more than 5 mins (maximum!) after parking your car, we didn't have an issue at all with parking. We left the day that some minor renovations were taking place (looked like some painting and some new wallpaper) so I'm assuming it looks even nicer than it did when we were there! Thanks to the staff for making our stay a memorable one.

It's a great place to stay. You won't be disappointed.

We spent 2 nights here while on Skye. It is perfectly located to take drives on the beautiful island. The staff is very professional and very helpful - from the front desk, to the cafe, to the bar - all very helpful and polite! The rooms are very relaxing - with calming colors and widescreen TVs. They have room service, and 2 restuarants. I didn't go down into the bar until the 2nd night I was there to get some ice and wish I had ventured in earlier - the atmosphere was very relaxing - would have been a good place to unwind from the narrow one lane roads on the drive! A beautiful place to spend a couple days!

“Fantastic staff & food ...a scottish jewel!!”

Bosville Hotel

Nov 8, 2007

My family stayed here many years ago, and it was such a joy to come back to such a high standard of service and food.
Although the rooms maybe on the small side, the staff and their professionalism made up for this and the poor weather!!!.

Skye is such a wonderful place to visit, and if you go you must stay at The Bosville Hotel with a room overlooking the harbor.

We shall return.

“Ok stay at the Bosville”

3 of 5 stars
Toronto, Canada
Oct 27, 2007

Stayed for one night (two adults and one child). The room itself was large and very clean with modern ammenities. Bathroom was also very large and clean. Parking was almost non-existent and had to find a spot further down the road. Hotel staff were friendly - and when we booked into one of the two restaurants for dinner, realizing the prices were a bit beyond our means not to mention the food not to our liking, decided to move to their other restaurant on-site (basically, beside each other). When told that it would be over an hour wait, asked if there was anything they could do. Hotel manager, was able to get us in within 10 mins (not sure how he did this as it was fully jammed) so was appreciative of his offer. The only negative - the hotel is not air-conditioned - which in Scotland is the norm, and an open window will provide you with the cool air needed. However, our room was directly above the bar (second floor) - which, given the no-smoking code in enclosed areas, meant everyone spilled out in front of the bar - laughing, joking (and obviously, a tad bit inebriated) and . . . smoking - both the sounds and the smoke ade it's way into our room. As we were only there one night and totally exhausted, decided to make do (with closed windows). If you decide to stay, make sure you are not facing the front or are over the bar.
