Lies and deception make for a bad stay
Well let's see... We checked in at 5:45PM. We got to our room, and the only window faced the parking lot so we had no privacy. Next, I stepped into the bathroom and it was Africa hot in there. There was a radiant heat towel rack that was fully on and the knob to control it was lying on the floor broken off the valve. We called the front desk and they said they would get maintenance on it. We have reserved a table in the restaurant because we had heard about this great view overlooking a loch. Instead, we were seated on the opposite side of the restaurant facing the car park. We asked during dinner if maintenance was addressing our room, and we were told that it was being taken care of. After dinner we were sitting and relaxing in the drawing room, and the front desk person came up to us and told us that maintenance had gone home for the day and our bathroom had not been fixed. We were then told if we had reported the problem before 5PM that maintenance would have been able to address it, but we reminded them that we arrived at 5:45 so there was no way from us to do that. We ten asked why we were told maintenance would fix the problem if they had already gone home, and were told "We don't know." They offered to move us to a different room, but by then it was 10:30PM. We had to pack up and move rooms while everyone else is sleeping. The whole experience was very disappointing and the worst stay of our trip.

The is a 5 star hotel. It is out away from the town of Portree set in a beautiful wooded area. The hotel is quite lovely. The food at the restaurant at dinner and the breakfast were but very good. The thing that sets this hotel apart is the staff. Please excuse my spelling but Nicola Beth greeted us , waited on us and even helped us figure out how to lock our outside door. 5 stars to her and the rest of the staff. Vic and Amanda

This property is a former hunting lodge and has some fabulous character and charm with some updates that enhanced the property, including a beautiful restaurant offering locally sourced dishes. We tried the salmon, cullen skink, venison and beef, all of which were top notch. Wendy was our server and she went above and beyond to take care of us. We only stayed two nights and wished we could have stayed longer as the area and this hotel have so much to offer. We stayed in the Gate House which had two bedrooms, a sitting room, patios and a large bathroom, with a tub, shower and heated floors. The building and the decor were impressive and a perfect fit for our family. We enjoyed breakfast each day at the main lodge, which offered a number of breakfast options, all of which we enjoyed. The service and staff were beyond pleasant and helpful. This property is truly top notch. We would definitely book here again and hopefully for a longer period of time.

We enjoyed the nature around the property. Rooms were clean and the staff was so friendly. Breakfast and Dinner were also terrific. I would have liked to see a safe in the room. For us, the pillows were hard, perhaps some less firm pillows? Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Avoid the hype and stay somewhere else! An expensive stay for little value. Avoid the hype and find somewhere else. The property's location is lovely, however that is where it ends. The room we booked was a cosy double. It sure was! A 3m x 3m room that smelt old and damp. The room was so small, my second piece of luggage had to be accessed from the floor in front of entry door and then we had to step over it. When I said the room was small, I wasn't kidding. The shower cubicle was tiny. Dangerously tiny. We booked dinner in the restaurant months ago and anticipated we would be dining in the atrium, instead we were seated with a view of the carpark as we watched other guests enjoy the view over the loch. Find somewhere else to stay on Skye to avoid any disappointment.
