Hidden Gem
What an amazing place. We found it by accident and are so glad we did. It had an actual king size bed - not that common outside of the US. The bed was so comfortable. The shower was amazing, towel warmer was fantastic, bath sheets were huge. The water, fruit and extras in the room were so nice. The view is incredible and to sit at breakfast every morning and look at the water was breathtaking. Breakfast was delicious and generous. Hotel is away from the center of town but an easy walk into town for restaurants, shopping, etc. The service was amazing. They went over and above on everything. We can’t say enough good things about this place.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. My husband fell in some mud and the person behind the desk offered to wash his jacket for him and had it cleaned and back to us by the evening. Wonderful service!

Great staff and a beautiful property. It's a bit of a drive up from protree so it wasn't as walkable as we thought, but the view of portree from the hotel/restaurant was awesome!

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.
