Really unique accommodations. Very quiet and private "hides" or huts tucked on a hill overlooking beautiful Skye landscapes. A central building with an awesome dining room, bar and game/relaxing area is steps away.
Check-in was fast and easy with friendly and professional staff. Only meals we ate here was breakfast and it was great. Service was great. Coffee was great. Poached eggs on avocado toast was great. Fruit and croissants were also great. Just a 10-12 minute stroll to Portree Harbor.
Highly recommend.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The staff at the front desk was so helpful, and so quick to address any question or concern. My meals were excellent as was the service in the dining room and bar. The Sauna/cold plunge experience was exceptional and the coziness of my cabin cannot be paralleled. I cannot speak more highly of this experience, book it!

The cabins were small but very cosy, lovely towels for shower and very nice toiletries, bed was very comfortable. There was a great choice at breakfast, we ate twice in the evening at the hotel and like breakfast it was all freshly cooked and very generous portions, food was first class! Staff were attentive and very friendly! We loved our stay and would love to stay again!

Amazing hotel with fantastic views across the Isle of Skye and the surrounding sea. Modern, very “Bind villain” vibe to the main building, all the guest rooms are individual pods in the surrounding grounds. These are quite small but well done and very cosy. The food in the hotel was excellent - we had breakfast twice and a festive dinner one night, all amazing. Probably the best hotel on Skye and well worth it. Oh and all the staff were super helpful and friendly, and the bar did great cocktails. We’ll definitely be back.

Firstly applause to all the staff that work so hard in this hotel but seriously understaffed. Our check in time was 3:00pm but arrived room not ready had to wait two hours. The reception man just seemed embarrassed and couldn't really give us a time so we went into town and came back later. Restaurant closed for dinner during our stay. Breakfast so understaffed you feel guilty asking for anything as the one server was running around. Couldn't have latte as would take to long to make. Breakfast menu is ok if you like the options personally I like to have boiled eggs which in every other hotel we have stayed over the last few weeks was no problem but this extremely expensive hotel said the chef was too busy. Rooms were not cleaned for our two night stay no refills of tea supplies. No staff around after 9:00pm. Hotel wasn't at full capacity our first night so I feel so sorry for staff if it was they just wouldn't be able to cope. Management invest in some more staff before you add more of the huts. Very disappointing as the staff were lovely and the hotel very nicely decorated.
