It was a lovely place to stay and the staff were very accommodating when we asked last minute if we could book an additional night due to unexpected changes to our travel plans.

There's a very nice hiking trail (Scorrybreac trail) about a ten minute walk away, which was a nice way to spend the evening on the day we arrived.

Good Scottish breakfast with service. Nice room with sea view. But do not expect too much space in a family or 4 person room. But for a family or 4 friends it is ok. Bathroom with toilet in the room. We arrived after the “normal” check in time and informed the staff by phone in advance. The key was stored in the Guest house. Nice service. Price performance: fair

We loved our stay at Coolin Guest House. We were met and greeted with friendly service when we checked in to our comfortable and sparkling clean room. The staff went out of their way to find us a room at a neighboring guesthouse for an extra night when we decided to stay longer and they were fully booked. Great location on the harbour in Portree.

Portree is very busy - make accommodation and dinner reservations well in advance! Skye is gorgeous, we loved our hikes to the Fairy Pools and the Old Man of Storr. A highlight of our trip to Scotland.

Lovely location with great view of the harbour from the room. Plenty tea and coffee available in room. Breakfast was excellent. Despite being on a busy road we had no difficulty in sleeping. Parking a bit of a lottery as I don't think there are enough spaces for every room.

Portree is a good location for exploring the island. Town was fairly busy in May and I expect it would get much busier come July/August. Its an expensive place to eat and check restaurant reviews carefully.

(Since we arrived late, we didn't interact with staff. However, this survey site forces a rating.) We found our stay to be comfortable, very convenient, and a good value.

If you need a review for your own site, I'm happy to send one for that.

We had to check in late as our tour was behind schedule getting into Portree, however a single phone call was all that was needed and we were set up to get our room when we arrived with no fuss. We had a great view from our room and the amenities were great. The location is still close to everything with a Co-op, restaurants, and shops just around the corner.

Portree is very walkable, and would recommend taking a little wander. Pop into the shops for some souvenirs, take a peek at the menus of the available restaurants, and get a feel for this cute capital of Skye.

Perfect location and clean rooms with everything you need. Breakfast had a great choice and staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Head to no2 restaurant just a short walk away which offers a great selection of food at a good price, wine is excellent and a good selection of alcohol too but the restaurant is very casual which is perfect after a days sightseeing and you just want to relax.

The setting is truly amazing and the views are to die for!!! The room was very clean and comfortable, the bathroom was brand new with a powerful shower and we appreciated a lot the espresso machine provided! No one welcomed us at the arrival and self check-in instructions were left for us at the entrance, but this didn't bother us too much. The location and comfort of the room made up for this!!! Breakfast could be more varied, but was served in lovely surroundings by a very nice waiter

Perfect Family Room for a short stay. Location was excellent and great views! Very clean, and although small it had everything we needed. My kids liked the bunk beds. Baby cot smelled a bit like mildew, probably from little use, but it also had some black stains on the mesh (?). Breakfast is in the next door restaurant so it was fine except ONLY from 8-9am. When I requested 7:30 I was told it would be okay but restaurant hadn't opened yet. They were kind enough to let us in and have continental but out of pure luck they happened to arrive early. I'd still go back and book same place though, I was very happy! Checking in and out was the most easiest EVER. :)

Make dinner reservations if you plan to dine in Portree. Unexpectedly we were turned away from several places that were fully booked around 7pm. The places we ate at were fantastic though. Location very close to Old Man of Storr. If you plan to do any shopping this time of year, go early because all gift shops closed by 5:30pm which was disappointing since that's when we usually returned from sight seeing. Grocery store was very close by and open 7am-11pm which was great for grabbing food for our roadtrips early in the morning.

Possibly the best views over the harbour, comfy rooms warm and clean. Staff especially helpful and wonderful bistro attached. I would certainly recommend it as it was a fabulous location and provided for an enjoyable stay and experience of Portree. Im a porridge eater and would say - give customers a choice of milk or water. It doesn't suit everyone when made the traditional way. Honey/cinnamon can also make it a much more enjoyable breakfast- but the cooked breakfast was spot on and not so large to leave you stuffed. Overall a great stay thank you and very friendly.

Beautiful location, especially the views from the room. We came during quite a heat wave, so the room was extremely warm, making sleep difficult. We were hoping there would have been a fan or something provided, but I assume many places in Skye don't even keep fans in storage due to mild and cool weather year round. Breakfast was ok--very small portions. There were four of us in the family room and we found the room much too small to fit four people, especially considering the price.

Location was fantastic & parking was easy and free. We arrived on a late ferry so checked in with the restaurant next door, I cannot recommend then highly enough they were outstanding the service was fantastic and the food was great! Its easy to understand why table reservations are necessary at peak times! Our room was on the top floor, my first impressions were that it was very warm and cramped. However it was a hot day, the room was clean and the toiletries etc were great. The bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. For one night it was perfect but for a longer stay a bigger room would be better.

The restaurant at number 1 was fantastic the service was great and the food was delicious! Don't leave without checking out a shop called OR (on the main street) for quirky keepsakes and quality gifts. Go EARLY to the fairy pools by 10:30AM it was resembling Blackpool! Enjoy Skye and if you can visit Harris!

The bathroom had heated floors and was very clean, as was the room. The breakfast was very good, they cooked it at the moment. They gave it in an annexed restaurant with spectacular views.

My ONLY complaint is that, for some reason, we weren't provided full-sized towels. Drying off with hand towels was a bit precarious. HOWEVER, it did not diminish the quality of our stay. It's an adorable, quaint place with a STUNNING view of the harbor. The staff is incredibly helpful--they helped us find a room at another property when we had to stay in Portree an extra night due to weather, and one of the employees even gave us a ride to and from the square so we'd be on time for our tour bus! They're absolutely amazing and I hope to stay there again when we make our way back to Skye. :)

Location was great for exploring Portree and Skye from. We stayed in room 9 and check in was straightforward and staff friendly and helpful. The room itself was cosy and clean with a fantastic view of the harbour. Had everything we needed and breakfast choices were excellent to set you up for the day. Thank you!

Talisker distillery is a short bus journey away from Portree to Carbost, where you can also visit the Oyster Shed which is a 10 min walk from the distillery and has an excellent selection of seafood - unfortunately it was closed at the time of our visit so make sure you check their Facebook for when they are open! Dulse & Brose and Cuchullin were our favourite spots for dinner.
