If you're visiting Portree this is the hotel to stay at. Beautiful views and wonderful food. The rooms are very nice and i would highly recommend paying extra for the ocean view. Nothing like waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee overlooking the water. The people are friendly and it's just an awesome place to stay. Everything you need in one place.

Outstanding, friendly, and attentive staff. Hotel itself is beautiful and well located within walking distance of the shore and the city center. The restaurant was absolutely fantastic, everything was delicious and the service was top tier.
My only issue was that either the hotel hallways were really noisy or people would stomp instead of walk.

Where do I begin to sing my praise for this wonderful hotel? Our room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed with beautiful linens. Bathroom was also impeccably clean. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the restaurant, food and staff were again amazing. We ordered room service for breakfast, possibly the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten. The views of the sea from our room was an ever evolving picture. I’m already planning our next trip.

Very elegant and well-maintained hotel with privileged views of Portree. It's within easy walking distance of town, though parking is also included. The room was excellent—our view faced the car park rather than the bay, but it was still very comfortable. Both breakfast and dinner were incredible, and the staff were excellent.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Cuillin Hills for a relaxing weekend away. The room was fantastic, the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in! It was beautifully decorated, spotless, and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a generous bath that made it feel extra luxurious.

All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience.

The location is also a big plus. It’s only about a 10-minute walk into town, with plenty of great restaurants close by.

Our only small suggestion would be around breakfast. While the cooked breakfast menu was excellent and everything we ordered tasted delicious, we would have preferred the continental options to be set up as a buffet. Although you could order more than one item, we personally felt a bit awkward asking for more and would have enjoyed being able to choose freely.

Overall, a beautiful hotel and a very enjoyable stay, we’d happily return.

Where to begin? We booked in for 2 nights—or so I thought! On the second day of our stay, we decided to forgo room cleaning since we were only there for one more night. I put the Do No Disturb sign in the door and we went out exploring for the day.

At 3:30 I got a call from the manager saying that we had overstayed and they had gone into our room, packed our stuff and moved our bags to the lobby. It was my error thinking that I had booked 2 nights but he was quite short with me and I felt he was implying that we had deliberately overstayed (by putting the Do Not Disturb sign on). He claims someone tried to call earlier but could not reach me—they had no phone numbers for me but finally got my number because we made dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant the night before (which is a whole other story!)

Seriously?? Since when does a hotel not have phone numbers for their guests? The manager said it was because we booked through Expedia (Hotels.cm)—in a very condescending way!!

As it turned out, he did us a favour because we did not have to pay an exorbitant amount to stay at a very unfriendly place. We ended up staying in Fort William as an extremely friendly Premier Inn for 1/3 of the price!

We had such an amazing stay at the Cuillen Hills Hotel. First, the weather in Skye this week has been perfect, just gorgeous. The room was comfortable, we opted for a premier room with a view of the water and the Cuillens. The setting of the hotel, on the water with the mountains in view cannot be beat. The food was delicious. But most notably, the staff were so helpful and accommodating. I hurt my knee coming down the Storr and they went out of their way to help. Ice packs, room service, arranging a taxi to a meal, and more. Thank you to everyone there!

My husband and I had stayed here in October 2024. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. We did not have a great room, as it was facing the car park and it was the only available room on Expedia.
However, the beautifully decorated lounge area with a roaring fireplace, overlooking spectacular views, soon made up for the flaws in our room. The restaurant is excellent! We had a wonderful evening meal and breakfast there. The staff were very friendly, efficient and attentive. The location of the hotel was perfect with beautiful views of Portree.

Stunning hotel and very high standard! Rooms immaculate and very comfortable. Modern.
Only issue is the resteraunt food. Trying too hard to be posh to the point myself and partner had to walk out the resteraunt as there was literally nothing in the menu we would have eaten. High prices for the food and very little “regular choice” of dishes. Otherwise could. It fault it in any way and wouldn’t put me off going back. Lovely, lovely hotel in a stunning location

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 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!

Stunning & convenient location, outstanding staff!

We booked last minute, choosing Cuillin Hills because it is a 10 minute walk into the heart of Portree, and central to Skye, based on reviews we read.
We could not have been more pleased.
The hotel is in an absolutely beautiful spot: dining room, bar, lounge, & some rooms overlooking the bay & town.
From the moment we arrived we were impressed by the staff. Donelle at reception greeted us warmly and chatted with us about our plans for Skye. She asked if we'd prefer upstairs or main level: we felt we were being seen as individuals and our comfort her concern. She also took time the next morning to make recommendations on our drives for the day: explaining options and high points. We followed her recommendations and had a fantastic day!
The three staff in the dining room at breakfast in the morning were also all friendly, and again, we felt taken care of in a lovely personal way.
The room itself was lovely: big comfy bed with excellent linens, nice stylish bathroom. Well designed with armchairs and table as well as writing desk.
Really welcome touch: shortbread & fruit along with a kettle, teas, instant coffees and both still & sparkling water.
All in all a lovely hotel with an outstanding staff!
