Hotels near Ben Tianavaig, Isle of Skye

1. This hotel is actually a homestay. You can check in by yourself. On the day of check-in, you will see a letter with your name at the door, and there is a key inside. The location is very good, just on the slopes of Portree overlooking the whole port. Parking is on the side of the road opposite the B&B. There are 7 parking spaces, but they are first come, first served, and there are usually spaces available. 2. There are many restaurants nearby, but if it is a holiday or weekend, many restaurants need to be booked in advance. A little farther away, there is a Chinese restaurant Panda that specializes in take away, which is actually quite affordable. The Chinese restaurant next to the homestay is average. 3. For sky island tourism, if you only live in one place, Portree is the best place.

As usual a lovely reliable place to stay, staff are always friendly and can’t do enough to help. Had food in the restaurant last night and it was great - table of 12 and all the food came quickly and was piping hot. Couldn’t ask for better. See you folks in April

A lovely hotel within an easy walk to downtown Portree. Rooms are arranged over 2 floors with the second floor having the better views. Even though we were on the first floor, our room was very quiet. The room was less spacious than we expected from seeing the pictures online, but it was adequate. Very little space to hang any clothes and more drawers would have been appreciated. However, the bathroom was lovely with a large walk-in shower. Service was very attentive whenever we needed anything. Would definitely recommend staying here when in the area. The Chargrill Restaurant is wonderful, too. We opted to have breakfast included in our reservation and are so glad we did. Every morning we were served a delicious, full breakfast from some of the nicest and most professional servers on The Isle of Skye. We also ate (2) dinners here and they were both delicious. Both of us are vegans and Chargrill had delicious vegan offerings. Wise to make reservations early for both breakfast and dinner.

Remember- you are in a desolate area of Scotland. This location and cabins really help you get back to the beauty of Skye. The detached cabins are small but very nice. Then you head down to the main lodge. Such a great full made-to-order breakfast ( best we had in Scotland) Their dinners are so good and well prepared. You will not be disappointed. Their bar is excellent. The best part is their staff. I want to mention , Lola at the front desk. What a gem of a person !

The environment is beautiful, located by the lake, the service is first-class, the hotel is very cost-effective, the Scottish sister-in-law in the restaurant can tell jokes, the cooking skills are first-class, pure Scottish cuisine, and the main dish is recommended for the main dish, Scotch lamb shank.

We couldn't have been happier with this hotel! I was a bit hesitant to book here due to some negative reviews, but our experience couldn't have been more positive! I booked the Superior room, it was more than large enough for my husband and myself, and our adult son (the rooms were separated by a 4 or 5 step staircase, our son had the upper room, we had the lower). Beds and pillows were very comfortable, the rooms and bathroom were very clean! There is a fan provided in the room, thankfully, as I sleep with a fan on year round. The kind gentlemen at the desk even put one together for my son to use, much appreciated! The breakfast was fabulous, and the woman serving us each morning was an absolute delight! All of the staff members were kind, warm, and friendly! The bar downstairs is a comfortable place to hangout for the evening, there were mostly locals in there, lovely people, great conversations! I do highly recommend this hotel!

The Uig Hotel is very cozy and friendly and we were pleased to see that they have survived the covid pandemic and still offer a warm welcome to their guests. We stayed in one of the lodge rooms behind the main building and had amazing views of the bay. The room was very spacious but the bed was a little small - there is certainly plenty of space to put in a super king sized bed so why not do that? The bathroom was a little basic but had a great heated towel rail for drying off wet clothes after a day out. The food at the Uig Hotel is excellent. They have changed chef since our last visit and the standard, quality and presentation of the food has all improved enormously and it was already great 3 years ago. The only thing that would have improved the food would have been a daily special since we stayed for a longer time. This hotel is also dog friendly which was great for us and the only place where Loki couldn’t go was the dining room but if we had wanted to eat in the bar he was welcome there. We hope to visit again one day.

I really hate to write a bad review, but there was just so little to like about our stay at the Isle of Skye Guest House. I chalk this up to me being a cheapskate and not understanding the Skye market, so DO YOUR RESEARCH. However, I will note that I saw quite a few similar facilities as we drove around the island -- a lot of tired looking inns that probably cost a pretty penny and were proudly displaying ”no vacancy” signs in early September. I started my search for lodging about 10 months in advance of our trip and quickly discovered that many options were already full, cost more than I wanted to pay, or both. So I ended up booking the Isle of Skye Guest House and there you have it. Read the other reviews -- they're all true. Our room was really small, had no storage space, and provided one of the worst beds I've slept on as an adult: the mattress was mushy, sagging, and thoroughly uncomfortable. The walls were thin, the windows old and single pane, and the bathroom so small you had to close the door before you could turn around. Worst of all, the shower flooded and we had to use all our towels to sop up the water. And, as others have noted: there's no staff on site. If I ever find myself staying on Skye again, it won't be here. It's not that it was terrible or unsafe or not clean -- it's just that it wasn't at all what I wanted or expected for the money spent. So spend more -- it'll be worth it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at Duisdale House Hotel. Our room was comfortable and very accommodating. The dining room food and service were excellent and the staff really stand out. Special thanks to Sarah, Neal, Laura, Clara, Dominic, Ishbel, and the young dark-haired man who assisted waiting on our table but whose name we didn’t confirm. I can’t recall a hotel where the staff is so well cross-trained on various roles - it’s truly impressive. If you’re planning to be on the Isle of Skye and need a relaxing place to stay, you will love this place.
