8/10 Good
"As just an fyi, the with is pretty weak, so if you have to work remotely it may be difficult. Also, there is only one small heater for the room and it can be a little difficult to heat the room up. Otherwise, a fine stay - nothing luxurious, but it gets the job done!"

"This was the best location and the most unique hotel in Portree. The room was beautiful and the bathrooms have been redone. We loved it!! The food was incredible!! Close to everything in town. Make sure you get there early though parking in town is limited, and the rules are not easy to figure out, so we found a parking ticket on our car in the morning. Besides that - it was incredible"

"Beautiful and extremely comfortable room!! Lovely location and not as busy as Portree. The staff accommodated us so well when we arrived because we had not eaten dinner yet and were starving so they made sure that we got something from the restaurant even though they had closed the kitchen! We were so thankful and I definitely want to stay here again when we come back to Scotland."
