    Isle of Skye is simply magical. Big mountains, big sky, big ocean. We drove fro m Inverness through Kyle of Lochalsh across the Skye Bridge onto Isle of Skye and used Portree as our base. We hiked up the famous Old Man of Storr and explored the area above and behind the Storr (not to be missed, awesome vistas), and we checked out Quiraing, Uig, and other cute ports. We were lucky to have amazing weather. Beware: No public restroom. At all. The only public restroom is the pay-per-use one at the trailhead of Old Man of Storr. That's it, for the entire island! Not even at the big parking lot (car park) at the Quiraing (another big famous hike). Simply nothing. No toilet at any trail head, at any vista points ... We couldn't even find cafes or simple outlets for food (or pee pee break). After hiking the Old Man of Storr, we found a trailer selling simple food (hot tea, coffee, muffins) across the street. That's it for the entire day. Come prepared; pack your food and water. I made a short video documenting our hike. The whole landscape is very much out of Lord of the Rings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbk8Y8ZOB0

    A lovely Harbour town. A quaint, fisherman village. If you want a place to hang out, do some trinket shopping, and enjoy the ambiance, this is a nice place to consider. Be sure to walk down to the water/Harbour for a nice view and more shops. This isn't a have to stop at place but a nice to stop at place if you have time. There is a public toilet at the big city square, right across from the yellow building (youth hostel).

    Three of us stayed one night in a family room. It started out weird; I was stepping out of the car…read moreand a man immediately asked for my name. Eventually we realised he worked there and was trying to check us in before a tour bus arrived. He took us to our room and explained everything. The guest house is more like a motel than a bed and breakfast; the guest rooms are in a different part of the building from the main area. Speaking of, there's no reception desk either. The room is alright, it had the basics, but the walls were thin and we could hear the girls next door chatting until late. Breakfast was pretty bad, and check out is 9:30 am. It's not a bad place, and we were lucky to find anything available on short notice, but for the price, I'd have liked it to be a bit more comfortable.

    Becky and John were consummate hosts, taking time to visit each guest in their room and explain how…read moreto work the telly, the shower, and even hand you the WiFi login. By the way, WiFi is an extra charge, but only EU2.50 for all your devices. Bad WiFi speed, but you're not up in Portree to stream videos, are ye? Nicely located to tour the town, and ask your hosts for recommendations. Hard to be choosy in the middle of nowhere, so I feel very luck that this place was as nice as it was. I was in a single room and it was comfy, if a bit warm when I arrived. I opened the window, turned down the heat registers, and slept like a baby!

    The Cuillin Hills Hotel in Portree is one of the nicest hotel experiences we've had in a long time…read more Portree is a quaint little town on the Isle of Skye on the west coast of Scotland. It's some of the most beautiful scenery we've seen. The hotel is as comfortable as you will find in a luxury hotel. The bar and restaurant features stunning views of Portree Bay and the Cuillin mountains. Gary our bartender was a wizard whipping up a number of signature and classic cocktails. He was so friendly and generous to share all kinds of local knowledge about the cocktail/scotch scene in the area. The Talisker distillery is only a few miles away. I had no idea Drambuie was created and marketed in Isle of Skye. It actually says it on the bottle which Gary showed us (photo #10). It makes sense it was created and made in Scotland being a scotch-based liqueur. Of course I had to order a Rusty Nail (photo #3) which Gary was excited I even knew about the very old school cocktail. A Rusty Nail is simply 2 oz. Scotch and 3/4 oz. Drambuie served with a lemon garnish. Its origin dates back to the 1930's and made popular by the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.) in the 1960's. If you like scotch you'll love a Rusty Nail. Give it a go!! The bar has a "Malt Embassy" with over 130 whiskies (photo #4 & 9). Whatever kind of scotch you're into they have it. The flights are a lot of fun so you can easily taste a wide variety of local whiskies. The design of the hotel is as beautiful as the surrounding landscape. The lounge areas are stunning and very comfortable. What's better than having a lovely local scotch in front of the fire with your beautiful wife celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary (photo #5)? If you ever visit Scotland, Isle of Skye is a must. We highly recommend Portree and the Cuillin Hills Hotel. You need to get there. Salute

    We loved our stay at Cuillin Hills Hotel. First, the staff is incredibly gracious, friendly, and…read morehelpful. We had two excellent bartenders who gave us lots of advice and remembered us throughout our stay. There is a comfortable lounge with a live fire. If I have one suggestion, it is to host a wine and cheese night in the lounge for an hour or so each night. This would be the only way I could think to improve the hotel. The view from the hotel is gorgeous with a perfect scene of the colorful Portree houses. Location is great, about 15 minutes drive from Old Man of Storr. Breakfast is included and very well done. The yogurt had a delicious compote. My husband enjoyed his Scottish breakfast with haggis, blood pudding, and a potato scone. I loved my Eggs Royale with perfectly crispy English muffins topped with smoked salmon and hollandaise. We had dinner at Dulse & Brose one night and we were able to walk there within about 10 minutes, which was appreciated after so much time spent in the car. They offer a variety of complimentary toiletries and others for a small fee, such as a hair straightener, which I thought was thoughtful. They also offer complimentary still and sparkling water, biscuits, tea, coffee, and fruit. We loved that the TV could be easily connected to our phones and stream our shows after a long day exploring the Highlands. The bed was very large and comfortable, although the room itself was relatively small. There was a towel heating rack in the bathroom.
