Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2024:

I was warmly welcomed by the owner, Chris and had a lovely chat with him. John and Annette were there during meals and are absolutely lovely. The food was excellent and well presented.

Redwood House is a bit off the beaten path but once you arrive, you won't want to leave. It is in a beautiful location with gorgeous views and has a beautiful sunroom and deck to enjoy.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly staff. Good food. Comfortable room/suite.

2 mile drive on one track road with potholes but worth the drive. Road repair money going to Inverness instead of this area. Rather pricey but enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely quiet accommodation, secluded but with a great view, a very good starting point for all Skye highlights. Great and extensive breakfast buffet, very good food in the restaurant. Many thanks to John and Annette, your service is excellent and despite all your work you always find time to exchange a few personal words with your guests. We really enjoyed our holiday.

Reservation for dinner in the restaurant is recommendable.

This house is located in the middle of the Skye paradise. Big and clean rooms with Loch view are offering a unique experience of feeling the pure nature. John and Annette are managing the restaurant and rooms and do take care of the guests in a lovely way. It is worth to invest the way and time it needs to drive to this lovely house.

Als for dinner inhouse and for travel tips, they are happy to help and provide nice recommendations.

Thank you

The staff is wonderful and rooms are very nice.

If you’re looking for a very comfortable clean and enjoyable experience in Isle of Skye, this is the place. Can not say enough about the staff, they were great.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2024:

The staff was great! Loved Evelyn and Joe!

I’ll admit it, I booked late and consequently probably overpaid. That said this place is OK.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd June 2024:

We knew it was going to be continental breakfast but a cooked breakfast would have been lovely. There also was a shortage of some info. Also we hadn't quite realised how far out of Portree the hotel was, we might have reconsidered booking. But other than the location and single track roads everything was good.

Be prepared for a longish single track road drive, although there were more sheep than cars to pass.

Would Recommend: No

27th May 2024:

The room was superbe, large, well equipped, comfortable. Very calm area. Well situated to visit the Skye Island.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th May 2024:

Great location. Some nice staff. Easy breakfast. Good dinner.

Average rooms. Bit untidy. Service a bit hit & miss.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th May 2024:

Lovely staff and great food. Very comfortable bed, bath, and porch. Room could use a refrigerator and small table and chairs under the light that is already installed. Fix the potholes on the road in. Better signage on that road.

Don't give up. It is out there and worth it!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. Unfortunately the single track road to the hotel is the responsibility of the local Council.

23rd April 2024:

Excellent staff, room was clean and comfortable. Only draw back was the road to get there. Potholes should be filled asap.

Would Recommend: No

Unfortunately the Council maintained single-track road to the hotel does have pot holes which fill with water when its been raining. We recommend guests drive slowly and carefully along this road to avoid not only the pot holes but also the sheep and their lambs which adorn this beautiful area.

Lovely friendly staff in a peaceful location

A little way out of Port reef but worth it.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th April 2024:

Absolutely loved our stay here! The hosts were so welcoming and funny! The food was outstanding!

Watch out on the last road which is about 4 kms until you reach the Inn. I would recommend getting there before dark as it is very very narrow with no lighting and no rails. With the drive though.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th April 2024:

While the staff is very friendly and helpful and the place is sparkling clean, the food situation is difficult. When the chef is in attendance, the food is outstanding. When he was not, it was not good. We were warned prior to arrival that the breakfast was continental and pizza was only served on Tuesday evenings, finding something for me to eat due to a food allergy was more difficult than I thought. It seems like they are not up to full steam as it is the beginning of the season. We loved our room, though, and the remote location.

Be prepared to drive a bit to get to the hotel and check in food availability if you have any food concerns.

Would Recommend: Yes

The host was fabulous and the place so welcoming.. Although the location was a little out of the way, the view from our dining room/ bar & social area was breathtaking. Our room was quiet and so comfy. Just make sure that the first time you drive there, you do so in the light. Highway maintenance is doing road work past Portree until the end of September that shuts down the highway after 7p except on the hour. Best to drive out there beforehand.

19th September 2023:

Very nice and big room with a view over the loch, staff was friendly, breakfast was continental, as the website said, dinner was poor!

The dinner in Edinbane Inn was good, but a 2,5 mile drive over a poor and single track road!

Beautiful location, quiet and restful. Breakfast had plenty of options. Dinner was delicious. Briny was an excellent hostess.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great location with views out over a loch. Drive to the northern end of the island well worth it. Continental style breakfast with plenty of options. Dinner was tasty and well priced but didn't quite match the standard of the accommodation.

Amazing room with lots of space to spread out. The person serving dinner and breakfast during our stay (she has two large white dogs) was so kind and friendly even though clearly overworked. She really made our time memorable. Location over the loch was also gorgeous even though it was rainy.

Eat before arriving unless you have dinner reservations. The location is a bit out of town. But the dinner at Redwood is yummy!

We had an amazing stay; what a wonderful place. The accommodations were perfect. The woman (I don’t know how to spell her name but she was the gardener and was filling in for someone) was one of the kindest and most interesting individuals I’ve met while traveling. Breakfasts were great; tasty and very substantial. A great location for nearby hiking. Treat yourself and come here.

We stayed at the Redwood House for 3 nights and it was thoroughly a wonderful experience. The staff are very helpful and the location is amazing.

The isle of Skye is surprisingly rich in areas to visit. The hikes, waterfalls, scenery and everything is so dramatic. Definitely worth a visit, or even living there for…!

We, especially, enjoyed how beautiful the facilities are and in that beautiful location alongside the Dunvegan waterway. This has been a long trip for us, 25 days, and have stayed in a lot of places. Only twice has an owner stopped to sit and have a beer. His assistant (name is a flower and has two Samoyed dogs) was always cheerful, warm and quick to give us extra milk for our morning coffee. ☕ 😉 I appreciate all the work that goes into a large property and 17 rooms. The only critique we have would be the kitchen. Your chef is back there all by herself and really needs some help preparing meals. We stopped on the way south to get another four-pack of Seaweed IPA. 😉 I mentioned to Kieran from Cuillan Brewery that you may be interested in stocking his brew. Thank you, Chris.

A magical setting with facilities which match. A lot of thought seems to have gone into the details and the atmosphere is sympathetic to the surroundings and very relaxing.

Enjoy the Sun Room!

Would Recommend: Yes

10th April 2023:

Great, spacious room with an amazing view. Nice staff and the location has good parking. However, the road to the hotel is maybe tricky for some cars (especially smaller cars). The only other minor drawback was the breakfast/dining area is lacking atmosphere but in general we would stay again and recommend it!

Have good hire car insurance for the Skye roads in general

Very nice and quiet location in a beautiful part of the Isle

Nearby the location only two restaurants are avaible which has to be booked in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2022:

Redwood House sits in an idyllic location, and provides the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countryside which, on this part of Skye, remains relatively tourist free and is therefore quieter and completely unspoiled. The rooms are extremely comfortable, warm and well equipped and, if you are lucky enough to get a room overlooking the water, you will enjoy the most glorious sunsets and changing skies. Breakfast is a generous buffet style with a variety of continental options, and dinner can be pre-booked on the days the restaurant is open in the evening. Everything else you need to know about Redwood House is provided in detail upon booking. There are many opportunities for walking, and in a variety of different terrains, either from the house itself or from nearby villages, or places of particular interest. You may also just want to find somewhere to sit and soak in the beauty of this part of the world! We absolutely loved it and would happily return.

As recommended by our host, we pre-booked our evening meals as there are only a small number of restaurants/pubs in the immediate area and they tend to fill up quickly. The roads are narrow and driving back long distances at night is something to bear in mind.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2022:

The welcome was warm even though we were delayed. The location is great, lovely and quiet and no light pollution made for a very enjoyable stay

Lovely quiet location with a warm welcome. The hotel was immaculately clean and the bed was so comfortable we had a fabulous sleep

The location induces immediate relaxation. I felt so far from any cares as soon as I got into my room with a lovely view of the loch, with birdsong and the gentle bleating of sheep in the background. So lovely.

Very comfortable rooms. Quite a way from other facilities though.

Redwood House is in a beautiful rural setting with views over the loch. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Would definitely return and recommend to other people.

Lots to see and do around the area for all interests. The limited evening menu was good and a more extensive menu would be welcome to avoid having to go out to eat, although there are good eating establishments near by. Would recommend the Edinbane Inn, which was the only one we tried during out two night stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2021:

Superb quiet location, clean spacious accommodation. Friendly informal atmosphere.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th September 2021:

The cottage was super convenient for everything I wanted. The team worked tirelessly to make guests comfortable, dinner menu was more than adequate and breakfast hard to fault. I'd love to return, and hope it won't be long until you're back to full strength. Thanks! A few small maintenance jobs but understand the backlog (it's the same in the apratment block where I live!)

On a map, it looks remote,but just 15 minutes out of Portree the best of the island isn't far away... Coral Beach, Dunvegan Castle, Uig ferry port and the north. There's also a slipway into the loch, making access for kayaks and SUPs a breeze. Cottages are super value, with cooking facilities and baths... joy after a day's hiking or driving.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautiful location. Very friendly, helpful and informative.

The Dunvegan, Edinbane Inn and Greshornish House are very good for dinners. Things worth doing include walking to The Old Man of Stor, Neist Point Lighthouse and Portree town. Great walking at Sligachan, close to the Cuillin Mountains.

Staying at Redwoord Lodge was the highlight of our time in Scotland. We stayed in one of appartments. We absolutely loved it! From the beautiful luxurious bedroom to the lovely decor to the quiet feel of the place to the wonderful restaurant, it was all perfect! A top place to stay and we will hope to return. Thank you for a fantastic stay

Old Man of Storr and the Fairy waterfalls are must visits! Stunning scenery and it's possible to swim in the waterfalls. Bracing but so worth it! Portree has some nice places to eat. The hotel next door has a lovely restaurant too but book in advance. We popped over but they were fully booked.

It is off the beaten path on a loch. Not a problem for us. Excellent food, staff, accommodations(oversize room and bath).

Ate at Three Chimneys restaurant. Wonderful uptake dining experience in the wilds of Skye. It is 30 minutes from this hotel so that was a plus for the hotel location. Enjoyed Dunvegan Castle and driving around the Cullin Mts. Beware of sheep on roads.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th June 2016:

Wonderful location at the end of a sheep beseiged one lane road. Beautiful scenery, of course. Enjoyed the smoked salmon at breakfast. The kind of quality one expects the (to us) high price point.

Get a reservation at "the old school" in Dunvegan. Great food, if somewhat pricey.
