Restaurant was unexpectedly closed second night due to staff shortage…was told someone sick and chef on vacation. Really? Chef on vacation in August? Was told in a condescending manner…” darlin’ this is an island…”refused my request for a discount since the restaurant was closed. Took trying three restaurants to find one who took us in without a reservation.

This was a nice quaint Inn off the beaten path in Portree. One note- although free parking, many potholes in the parking lot. Bed was comfortable but only double beds and room and bathroom was small. Dining hall and living room combined was nice. We had breakfast which was yummy, porridge with berries was yummy and eggs and bacon were delicious excellent. Nothing fancy though so plan for coffee and tea- no cappuccino or latte. We loved the teas in our room, the highland cow pillows and all the old fashion horse pictures! Would recommend a stay but maybe bring early plugs bc walls are thin and get 2 rooms!

Very overpriced, and even at half the cost it wouldn’t be worth it. We paid nearly $400 USD for one night - far more than the Marriott we stayed at the night before - yet the quality was nowhere close. The property feels outdated, the air is stuffy, and the walls are so thin you can hear conversations (and even breathing) from the next room. The shower was tiny, the staff seemed to avoid eye contact rather than offer service, and the food was average at best. No air conditioning either. Overall, it feels like the hotel mainly caters to large bus groups. Definitely would not stay here again.

Over rated...

Hotel caters for large parties which can compromise access to lounge. Tiny shower/toilet. Access road has large potholes. Pricing definitely matched to availability rather than hotel standard

I had a fantastic stay at Skye Inn! The place has a really cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and tasty options to start the day. The location is also a big plus—just a short and easy walk to the town centre and harbour, making it perfect for exploring Inverness. The only minor downside is that the rooms are a bit small And less utilities.

Do not stay here if allergic to aninals. On arrival there was a cat sitting on the reception counter and we witnessed a dog dedicate in the dining room. Unhygienic.
