1st June 2025:

The check-in was smooth and uncomplicated. I had room 1 and my bathroom had the biggest shower recess I have had in the UK. The breakfast supplies left in the room were very generous.

The location was outside Portree and suited us, but you would need to have a car

Would Recommend: Yes

It was very clean and homie, and, although we didn’t have time to use the outdoor seating area, it was lovely. The host was even kind enough to provide us with fruit cake on our last day, but we had no time to try it. There was plenty of parking for us as well.

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay while exploring the Isle of Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes

Being very close to Portree you can go buy snacks and everything you need for the night.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you!

13th October 2024:

Excellent stay away from the hustle of Portree. Location was easy to reach by car. We never met Sam, but she ensured all our needs were met and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and near the attractions (Old Man of Storr, Quiraing). Our toilet was across the hallway, but was never an issue for us. Would stay here again. Thanks Sam!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you 🙂

12th October 2024:

Moorside rooms as been our best stay in our Scotland trip! The room and bathroom were comfortable, well equipped and decorated. You can see the attention for details in every aspects. The breakfast provided was copious and delicious, we had plenty for our second morning there. Samantha, our host, even gave us a very generous gift for booking directly on their website. The location is also very good, right in the middle of everything with Storr, Quiring, Portree very close. We highly recommend!

Don’t miss your chance to stay at Moorside Rooms !

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you 🙂

10th October 2024:

Lovely place and lovely host

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you 🙂

10th October 2024:

The room was as shown in the pitcures. We found the room and bathroom clean and nice. Not the the most remodeled but clean and homey. The breakfast was offered the first morning was great. We arrived late at night so that was most helpful. About arriving late. In the welcoming message it was stated that we should arrive before 20 pm not to disturb other guests. Fully understandable. However we made a wrong turn driving which made our drive 3 hours later and of course missing 20 pm by far. When contacting the hotel it was nothing but understanding and caring with a message drive safe, take your time and don’t forget to rest. How nice isn’t that. This improves our, otherwise, stressful drive. I strongly recommend this hotel. A bit out of Portree but worth the few minutes extra drive. Also very easy to park just outside the entrance.

Buy some drinks, snacks or other things to snack on since there are no stores of walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you 🙂

18th September 2024:

Thank you for your kindness and attention, we had a perfect time in Portree !

Thank you 🙂

12th September 2024:

I had a great stay at Moorside Rooms and I felt I had a suite instead of a room because I had a full bathroom and tremendous array of great food that the owner, Sam, left for me in the fridge and on the table! This was an authentic experience to stay in the Scottish countryside as if you really lived here. I had originally booked a hotel in Balmacara to visit Skye, then started to comprehend just how large Skye is with some long driving distances, and I’m glad I rebooked to Moorside Rooms because it is so central to the best tourist attractions.

As far as tips for local hikes and attractions, well, my tip is to use EXTREME CAUTION when planning and undertaking a hike in the Quiraing (which looks like the #1 listed attraction in Skye) – I am an experienced hiker but got caught up in a very unexpected storm and was completely lost for 5 hours in the Trotternish Mountain trails of Quiraing, did not see another human being, a hiking trail, a sign, a road, anything for that long – had to drink the waterfall water to avoid dehydration and ended up shivering and shaking on a nearby sheep farmer’s porch at dusk asking for a ride back to the car park. My phone was completely dead so I could not call Sam who I’m sure would have helped me. Always tell someone where you are going in Skye… I am so happy to not be in the hospital! With all this being said the scenery of Skye is absolutely stunning and otherworldly – but it is wild and untamed and must be treated as such. I will come back to Moorside Rooms once I forget the experience of the Quiraing hike, there is no better place to stay for such a good price, easy access, and comfort!

Would Recommend: Yes

Im sorry to hear about your experience but glad to hear you found help. Thank you for sharing your experience with future guests. Hope your stay in Edinburgh was less eventful, take care

19th August 2024:

I loved how cozy our room was. We had a room with four beds, a small fridge and a bathroom. We got some nice gestures from the host. Like some muffins and a fruitcake. A continental breakfast was included. Marmite is not my thing. (First time I tried it) One bit of a hassle was the shower. It wasnt powerful enough for my liking as it dripped instead of having a stream. This made it difficult to wash my hair. But the complementary towels were lovely! It was nice to have some proper cutlery and coffee to go with it. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Skye as it is just a simple drive to all the beauty the island has to offer.

A must visit is Quarain, the Fairy pools and Dunvegan Castle in my opinion. There are way more beautiful sights, but we visited these since they were readily available and there was enough parking space.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you!

12th August 2024:

Great location. Good for doing some gorgeous car trips.

Great room for small family with a few kids. String advice to do always a reservation for restaurants in Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks!

31st July 2024:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moorside Rooms. Our family of 4 stayed in the family room. There was tonnes of space for 2 adults and 2 teenage children. The location was the perfect "home base" for touring the Isle of Skye. Sam was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She was an excellent communicator and the emails she sent in advance ensured that we knew exactly what to expect before arriving. The room and bathroom were very clean. The beds were the most comfortable we'd slept in since arriving in Scotland 1 week earlier. The breakfast on day 1 was great and exactly what we needed to start an adventure filled day. We highly recommend Moorside to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely stay there again when we return to the area. The Grantham Family

Just like Sam suggests in her emails, Portree gets very busy for dinner. Be sure to book a reservation in advance. We visited the Isle of Skye on a very rainy and windy day. Water proof pants and shoes would have made an amazing day even better.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank You 🙂

27th July 2024:

Really nice place to stay whilst visiting Isle of Skye. You get a super warm welcome with a little giftbox and there are nice books and info about Scotland in the room. The towels in the bathroom were damping a bit and the toilet was difficult to flush. Besides that everything ok!

Thank you!

6th June 2024:

Moorside is a quiet location to rest and refresh after busy days hiking and touring. Our room was spacious and clean.

We spent most of our time hiking. We packed up the breakfast items and snacks provided at Moorside to get early starts for best views and quieter weather. Countryside is beautiful! Our favorite hikes were the Fairy Pools and the Old Man of Storr. We’d highly recommend The Galley near the Fairy Glens, Dulse & Brose and Birch both in Portree.

Moorside Rooms provided a great base for our Skye adventures. Sam’s guidebook was very helpful for restaurant recommendations and places to go.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you 🙂

27th April 2024:

After a two night stay at Moorside we are pleased to give this guest house a 5 Star rating. The owner Sam went our of her way on several occasions to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The property overall is a work in progress but the house is very clean, comfortable, quiet, safe and secure. The short drive from Portree is scenic and takes only a few minutes. This is an ideal guest house to use as a base to explore all the wonders of this beautiful isle. We'd recommend a two or three night stay.

Plan at least two full days on the Isle of Skye in order to take in all of its magical wonders.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great location to get around the isle and into town.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you

22nd June 2023:

Brilliant place to stay if you are driving, it's less than 4 miles from Portree on the main road, the host Sam is excellent, left us little treats of various Scottish biscuits on a daily basis, great for our cups/ tea coffee every night, you also get a continental breakfast left in your room for arrival which we found was more than adequate, the facilities are excellent ie shower etc, big fluffy towels, beds are really comfortable, I will definitely be hoping there is availability when I return with my cousin from Australia next year as I know she would definitely be happy here

Definitely better with a vehicle in Skye, I drove over the skye bridge but took the ferry from Armadale to Mallaig back over to the mainland, saved driving all the way back round again, nothing is too far away if you are driving, stunning scenery everywhere, fairy Glen's amazing, loved the museaum of island life near Uig, Dunvegan Castle definitely worth a visit, loads restaurant,s etc everywhere in Skye, Portee has loads shops craft places souvenir shops etc, Skye definitely worth going for at least a few days

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you & hopefully see you next year 🙂

We had a lovely stay. After a long day of travel it was like coming to an oasis. Sam our hostess made us feel so welcome. Upon our arrival we found a clean cheerful room with a well appreciated tea & biscuits. The peace & serenity of the setting was a balm to our traveling fatigue & we were refreshed & ready for new adventures in the Isle. I highly recommend these accommodations. It’s also a wonderful bargain to boot. It’s close enough to town yet far enough away to escape the hustle & bustle of model life.

Finding a restaurant for dining can become a challenge. If possible book in advance & also consider take away as a viable option. I highly recommend “Get your guide” for an exceptional experience with a great value for the money. Our driver was so pleasant & informed of local sights. This tour offers all the highlights of the area with plenty of opportunities for food & breaks. The van was clean & comfortable.

Would Recommend: Yes

Le B & B est proche de Portree, 10 min en voiture.La chambre et la salle de bains sont justes correctes . L'hôtesse est très peu présente , l'accueil inexistant. Les serviettes de toilette sont données très humides. Le petit déjeuner est posé devant la chambre dans une box, alors que les restrictions Covid ont été levées et à vous de vous faire votre café soluble ou thé avec le plateau de courtoisie dans votre chambre. Le tout pour un prix élèvé par rapport a ce qui est proposé, c'est là que nous avons payé le plus cher et que nous avons été le moins satisfaits durant tout notre séjour en EEcosse.

l'ile de Skye est magnifique . Les restaurants à Portree doivent être réservés et si vous voulez manger allez-y tôt car tout ferme vers 8 h pour les autres rares lieux de consommation .

Would Recommend: No

2nd August 2022:

We enjoyed our short stay at moorside rooms, the beds were good, location great and quiet at night. The breakfasts served in boxes are very handful and can be taken away for a snack during a walk!

This was a perfect place to stay for our whole family. Very clean, had all the amenities we needed and then some and our host was very friendly and accommodating. We had to leave very early on the day we departed and she was kind enough to pack us to go meals for breakfast. It was very generous.

The location was perfect for the sightseeing we wanted to do. Close to old man Storr, the fairy glen, Portree and Mealt falls and kilt rock. They were all on my list to see. Such beautiful countryside between each stop, definitely would love to return.

Would Recommend: Yes

Welcoming and very comfortable accommodation. Super comfortable beds and delicious continental breakfast provided. Id definitely recommend moorside great location as well. Would definitely come back.

We got a taxi down to portree as we planned to have a meal and a few drinks. We stupidly didn't pre book our meals and i think you had to book a few days in advance and everywhere was fully booked. We joined the que at the chippy which was lovely but beware it closes at 9.portree has many lovely pubs and bars a. Moorside is a great place for a base and easy access to all the island and only 20 mins from Uig ferry

Sam had excellent service and we heard her checking in on other guests if they were unable to open the door. Few was very nice and tables to eat outside were provided. Rooms are spotless and covid precautions are in place. Very impressive. You can ask for vegan or vegetarian options before or after check in for breakfast. Breakfast was lovely put together and served every morning on time delivered in a bag in front of your room. Car Parking was spacious. Haggis the Cat was well behaved and kept with the family but we asked to see him and he greeted us gently. We were really impressed with the stay in Moorside and would come again.

Definitely use the google maps link Sam provides otherwhise the navigation will send you up Borve. By car the Fairy Glen, Fairy Pools, old man storr and the kilt rock aren't far away. If you want you can drive to Dunvegan Castle shortly too, parking is free there and it has a beautiful garden.

Would Recommend: Yes

A fantastic BnB. Sam was a lovely host and this was the best accommodation on our two week tour of the Highlands and Islands.The breakfast boxes were delicious and assembled with care. The kids loved theirs too and enjoyed them in bed.

Sam is an excellent host, taking care off every minor details to make the staying at Moorside most comfortable. An excellent location for visit trip to Island. There are not enough words to describe Moorside Rooms, from clean rooms to fresh morning breakfast.

Lots of choices and to enjoy it all will require good few days to stay at this centralized location of Moorside rooms. .

Spacious, clean and cosy room. Bathroom is spotless with ample supply of towels and hand towels. Sam is extremely friendly and provided a guide with recommendations for things to see and do, and a list of her favourite restaurants. Highly recommended.

Beyond expectation, everywhere scented beautifully of lavender. Beautiful view, impeccable white sheets, together with individual toiletries. Host is really really nice and helpful. Small things like USB chargers, electric toothbrush charger available. Nice warm and tasty breakfast ready served for us to take with us. It made our holiday more pleasant.

Pre-Book restaurants as we did not find a good restaurants in the city centre as Portree is a small village.

Our host was very friendly and attentive to our needs. She provided a number of individualised notes for each party and tips for things to see and do.

We would recommend other travellers to try book restaurants in advance, because Covid rules mean table numbers are limited.

Room was spotless and very comfy bed. The breakfast box contained lots of food with juice and fruit. We took our first breakfast box out to eat at the Fairy Pools which was amazing. Sam is a lovely friendly host and can recommend things and if you are a cat person you can have a chat and spend some time with the also friendly Haggis 😺. Oh lots of tea/coffee and biscuits in room too and handy charger cubes for your gadgets.

The Galley has tasty food but book as limited seating during Covid but you can take away. The Fairy Pools are lovely but be warned it is busy but there is a new car park (£5) and lovely clean/new loos there. Get there first thing. I would say not suitable for very small children as there are currently stepping stones to be negotiated and at 5’2’’ they were just manageable for me. Apparently the leaflet says they are going to build bridges but they are not there yet. The Old Man of Storr is worth going to. There is a bigger car park past the small spot by the side of the road but we went later in the afternoon as the rush was passing. The sign says ‘moderate’ walk but be prepared it is very steep in places even on the left hand path which others described as ‘less steep’. Once you think you have got to the top you haven’t and there is another climb but the plateau is great for good photos and a rest if you don’t want to go further. We decided to go the quicker steeper way down but many people were slipping as it was very steep in places so take care going down. We had a beautiful sunset the first night so drove past Uig to Duntulm Castle just for a wander and got beautiful views of the sun going down. The castle is ruinous and you are asked not to go over the fence as it is dangerous so we didn’t but interesting to look at and if you go down the fence line you get some good photos looking up. Read the history before you go. The path to the castle goes through a field but the sheep are friendly and don’t mind you wandering about. Only stayed 2 nights this time but we will be back to Moorside to explore more in the future.

The only thing that could’ve been better is the water pressure of the shower. It was very hard to rinse shampoo out of your hair.

We loved staying at Moorside rooms. Sam was really friendly and easy going. The place was in a fantastic location for exploring the island and the room was super clean and comfy. The takeaway breakfasts were great and we couldn't have asked for more from our stay. Thank you!!

Great location to explore the entire island.
