I visited Skye as part of a small tour group and booked my own accommodations at The Bosville. I’m so glad I did! The Bosville is a cozy, boutique hotel right in the heart of Portree, making it walkable to all the stores, restaurants, etc. I had a “cozy double” room with a gorgeous view of Portree Harbor. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m on Skye.

The location of this property is excellent--close to the center of town yet somewhat further up the road, with a beautiful view of the town. Staff are kind and helpful and the restaurant is great.

Quaint boutique older hotel, clean, staff were great. Comfortable beds and pillows - a must! Parking is challenging in the entire area. Narrow circular stairwells to top floors may be challenging for some, but rooms on lower floors I presume could be requested. Attached bar is nice. We did not dine at the restaurant.

Location is excellent but need to look for parking as limited. Room was really nicely decorated which made it feel really homely. Restaurant serves excellent food and it’s close to their restaurant and services. Portree itself it’s absolutely beautiful and I could not recommend it enough.

I loved staying here for a few nights while visiting Isle of Skye. It's on a cute little port that is easily accessible and a local hub while traveling over the area. It has close hiking options, a few shops/restaurants around it and is very close to Isle of Skye Candle Co. that has a restaurant, shop and movie theatre if you need something to do during the evening.
