Venue - the restaurant is tiny, only 18 seats. They seem to do at least 2 sittings per table - which I imagine you have to in order to make a profit with such a small place. As such if you arrive early you will be left in the small vestibule until your table is ready as there is simply not room inside to wait.Menu - it is a set menu, 3 courses with 3 choices for each. Given the small number of tables this is logical. If you are fussy about things it might be best to go elsewhere. There is a sample menu on the website to give you an idea what may be served.Food - we though the food was excellent, great flavours and well cooked and presented. There have been comments about the portion size - I thought the were fine for a 3 course meal.Service - Good if a bit automatic. When we ate there were two other couples who arrived about the same time and we were all next to each other - so we heard the same word perfect statements on presentation and removal of each course 3 times. The food came at a reasonable pace - we did not feel rushed.Cost - it is not cheap, 48 pounds each plus drinks. However I didnât think it was unreasonable for the quality.Parking - Some one mentioned the lack of parking - it is a tiny restaurant in the middle of a small village so you cannot expect parking by the door. There is free public parking 5 to 10 minutes walk away, or a taxi from any of the local B&Bs should be less than 5 pounds.

As we walked in to the establishment we were not greeted nor acknowledged by the one member of staff on the premises which left us standing, feeling lost. Do we sit down, do you order at the till? With no guidance from the waitress/cook we preceded to look at the menu that we could see, at the till. The waitress/cook finally took our order and we asked if we should sit down. She said "Oh, you're eating in?" and mentioned nothing of the fact that there was a separate menu (and prices) for dining in. There was in fact a sit-in menu which we were never shown or told of and we ended up paying +£8 more for sitting-in. We were very disappointed with the way we were treated. It had been easy for the waitress/cook to inform us of the different prices and yet she chose not to. As for the food, it is (if you're sitting in) at the same price point as many, more pleasant, establishments in Portree. The service was slow but this is understandable with only one member of staff. The portions were of a generous size, although the food (especially the fish and chips) was a little bland but fairly tasty indeed. The brownie was very good as well. The food it self deserves a higher rating, however, the service was a massive let down. Lastly, it made us uneasy seeing the waitress/cook sniffing the fresh (??) meat/fish before frying it. Making us doubt the freshness of the items.Good evening. Having looked at and selected from the headed takeaway menu, it is presupposed you are taking-away! You were welcomed to a table quickly following that and brought drinks etc. I continue to enjoy your oxymoron in the second paragraph 'a little bland but fairly tasty indeed'. Have you any awareness of food? Fresh gamey Isle of Skye venison smells great. And btw it's not fried, it's grilled! You enjoyed that and your fresh Highland fish and chips too. Check backs and empty plates don't lie. If you had any doubt about the quality here i doubt you would have selected a dessert to take away with you too! The only problem came when the prices were not what you wished for. I'm really sad for you that one of the things you had to do on Christmas Eve was lay into me. Your grammar is terrible, making us doubt your intelligence.

Caroy House. An individual and aspirational restaurant and bar in the heart of the Isle of Skye. A home away from home. Casual luxury, mouth watering food, a warm welcome and a dram lovingly poured at the end of a long dayâs exploring. Situated in the pic
