"Unknown to me is that there are lovely wee heated greenhouses which looked to have been built in covid times and you can take your drink out there and cosy in whilst charging your phone and listening to some tunes!"

“There's a certain charm to staying right on Portree's main square, and the hotel has history woven into its walls. The updated rooms offer comfort, and the dining is surprisingly good, especially given the limited options around town. It's a solid base for exploring Skye, especially if you appreciate being at the heart of things.”
