The landscape is dramatic—even a bit moody, with the Cuillin Range in the background—but outdoorsy kids will have a blast on the Isle of Skye. Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

It is just 10 minutes from the Armadale Ferry and the ideal base to explore the Isle of Skye.

The individually designed bedrooms have original character and boast luxurious Harris Tweed soft furnishings. All rooms have a private bathroom, and each features a flat-screen TV, waffle robes, luxury toiletries and tea/coffee facilities. At Toravaig you can wake up to amazing views, enjoy leisurely breakfasts, and cosy evenings by the fireside with a glass of local malt. Cream teas and sharing platters are also served all day and can be enjoyed with a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the garden. A la carte dinner can be booked at sister hotel Duisdale and complimentary transport is provided each way to allow you to enjoy your evening to the full. Torabhaig Distillery which only opened 5 years ago is just a few minutes walk from the hotel, and is well worth a visit

Reviewed By amandawr2016

We had a wonderful stay in the Cuillin Hills Hotel. The staff were all absolutely delightful, the rooms were of a very high standard and overlooked the sea. However, it was so much more special than just the sea, as you could see very easily and closely the gorgeous view of the land mass opposite, which was beautiful. The sea also had the odd yacht and fishing boat in it, which was lovely and the hotel lawn had multiple chairs and tables to have a drink or cocktail overlooking the view. It was also 5 minutes walk from the main town. Lastly, the hotel suggested that we might like to book a reservation for supper the first night, in case we arrived late and the other restaurants in town were fully booked, so we did. In fact, we ate at the hotel restaurant every night, as the food was absolutely delicious, easily worthy of a Michelin star we felt, which we feel sure they will be awarded very soon!

We loved the food as well, first class property all around! The main house has a nice bar and lounge area along with dining rooms. We have wonderful memories :))

The Flodigarry Hotel

Located in ancient woodlands up on the Quiraing in north east Skye, you find the Flodigarry Hotel and the High Tide Restaurant. The Flodigarry is a traditional non-trendy warm and friendly hotel with an easy going atmosphere, beauty and Jacobite past which blends together to create something quite magical. If you like super food, fine wine and malts; breathtaking mountain and sea views, the great outdoors, wildlife walks, guided mountain and geological rambles, traditional story telling, ceilidhs, boat trips and fishing or simply to go feet up with a book by a log fire - then The Flodigarry hotel and The High Tide Restaurant is just right for you.

Wonderful remote hotel

Reviewed By CreamTeaKate

We stayed at the Flodigarry Hotel for a night in May. It is in a stunning location, not far from the Quiraing Hills and overlooking the sea. The grounds as you arrive are beautiful and the entrance , restaurant and bar rooms have been restored really nicely. It is cosy but grand with a lot of attention to detail. We had a room overlooking the sea which was really comfortable and spacious with a nice bathroom. The dinner was fantastic and a real treat. We had drinks and a canape in the bar before having a delicious 3 course dinner in the restaurant. The food was really high end with great local produce. The staff were all very attentive and the owners were available and involved in all the proceedings making it a very personal service. It is not cheap but we really felt it was worth the price for a special experience on Skye. The breakfast was also very good and set us up so well for the day we didn't need lunch. They are also very dog friendly and our border terrier Arthur was allowed to sleep under our table in one of the restaurant rooms but they were mindful of people that don't want dogs in the restaurant so had two rooms which was absolutely fair enough. We have highly recommended this hotel to any friends who are visiting Skye as a must.

Kinloch Lodge

Kinloch Lodge is a special place. It is somewhere to escape the noise and speed of modern life. Somewhere to relax and recharge, where you can take things at your own pace. The Isle of Skye is frequently, justly described as one of the most spectacular places on earth. Kinloch is in a particularly beautiful part of the island: down a long drive, at the foot of a mountain and at the head of Loch na Dal. Here you will find some of Scotland’s best food, roaring fires, whisky on tap and giant beds. It can be hard to leave. Kinloch Lodge was the Macdonald family home where Godfrey and Claire raised four children (and countless beloved dogs). They opened the doors of their home as a hotel with the intention of welcoming guests as they would do through their own front door. This spirit of heartfelt family hospitality was pioneering at the time and has not changed. Today Kinloch is run by their daughter Isabella Macdonald

Wonderful tasting menu

Reviewed By georgier450

Set in a beautifully maintained old country house on the edge of a lock, we enjoyed a brilliant tasting menu - set price of £75. We arrived early and had a few drinks in the cosy bar before being taken into the impressive dining room overlooking the loch, decorated with enormous historic paintings of noteable Scottish people. Service and food was great - the most formal dining experience we had on the island, but not as stuffy as equivalent London restaurants. A few families were eating at the same time and we noticed that children's options were offered too. Coffee and sweet treats the perfect way to end a delicious meal. Definitely recommend for a spot of luxury during your Skye trip!

Redwood House

Located in the Greshornish peninsula in the North West of the Isle of Skye, we are ideally situated for exploring the Isle of Skye, being only 25 minutes from Portree on the East, 15 minutes from Dunvegan on the West and 40 minutes from Uig on the North. The approach to Redwood House, a quiet family run business, is via a 2 mile single track road, skirting the shoreline, with sheep and lambs roaming freely. Look carefully and you may see a Buzzards or other bird of prey in this remote part of Scotland. Once here, its time to start to relax and enjoy the quiet and the breath taking views of Greshornish Loch which may include the occasional otter, seal or heron. Redwood House, your Scottish escape is just waiting for you.

Fantastic location

Reviewed By PaulH386

Great location and great rooms with great views. We had a courtyard cottage, which had plenty of space, and our daughter stayed in a room looking straight onto the loch. Staff were welcoming and food was lovely.

Remote but worth the trip

Reviewed By Roger P

Situated at the end of a mile-plus long single-track country lane in the north of Skye, this is an excellent hotel for those who wish to get away from it all. As the name suggests, it is a converted house with large rooms and old-fashioned furniture, but the beds are comfortable and the bathroom has all the usual facilities. Unfortunately there is no lift, but the helpful staff are willing to carry your suitcase to your room. There is a lounge with a real fire and also a snooker room. The restaurant’s menu, whilst not extensive, gives a reasonable choice. The real plus for this hotel is the staff for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble. They are cheerful, friendly and efficient.

The Royal Hotel

The Royal Hotel is based in the centre of Portree on the stunning Island of Skye. Our hotel offers a superb base for customers to the area with its convenient location. We have a selection of over 34 en suite rooms, most of which feature stunning sea views looking on to Portree Bay. We have two restaurants which regularly sell a variety of local produce from Langoustines, Scallops and Fish to Venison and regular Scottish favourites. Our hotel bar "MacNab's Inn" was famously the location where Bonnie Prince Charlie bode farewell to Flora Macdonald before making his way to France escaping the English army. With our rich history, convenient location and excellent rooms we are the perfect base for any visit to the beautiful Island of Skye.

Traditional but comfortable

Reviewed By DickZe

This seems to be one of the traditional hotels. It is old style but comfortable. There is no lift. The room was big enough with a desk and a seating. The bathroom had a bathtub. The hotel has its own parking place around the corner, which can fit 10 cars. In the discussion about parking, the lady from the reception gave me the times of free parking in front but did not mention the own parking area. So I ended up parking in a public car park until I found out later how it was. WiFi works well. Breakfast is friendly served with some self-serving and a cooked meal to order.
