Located in Portree, Cuillin Hills Hotel is in the mountains. Portree Harbour and The Fairy Glen are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock. Quiraing and Fairy Pools are two other places to visit that come recommended.
This hotel has class! And the scenic view of the lake and mountains is spectacular. The staff are helpful...don't be afraid to ask questions. Food was great. Started our day with a tasty Scottish breakfast and we're still going strong tonight.
We were so disappointed with our experience. The water-view rooms were all sold out when we booked and for £350 a night I was expecting more than a damp room with a view of the car park. It smelt very unfresh particularly in the bathroom where there was clearly a damp problem. Our room lacked privacy as anyone in the car park could see in so we had to have the blinds closed all the time.
I really regret not booking elsewhere as service was also very mixed. The receptionist that checked us in was great, but other service awful. After failing to get any attention, we had to get up to find waiters at breakfast when what we ordered didn’t come, and we spent a dinner being ignored by any servers all evening even though it was quiet. We also saw multiple people complain about, or return food, which I’ve never seen anywhere before!
We had a fantastic stay at the Cuillin Hills Hotel. The staff is exceptional, the rooms were spotless and well-kept, the views of the surrounding area were beautiful, and since the weather can change (during March) at any time; it was awesome to eat dinner in the restaurant and avoid having to wander to and from time. Breakfasts and dinners were fantastic! The hotel includes a relaxing common room with fireplace that was quite charming.
Favorite hotel while in Scotland. View out of our room was amazing. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable bed. Restaurant at the hotel was excellent and the staff was beyond friendly. Will stay there again when we go back.
