Carters Rest is a rare find, beautiful views, great hospitality and wondeful hosts. Julie and Steve are the warmest and friendliest people that I have met to date. They will go out of their way to make sure you have the most pleasant stay possible. The first night we were rushing to see the Fairy Pools and then got stuck a works delay in Portree so didn't get to eat dinner. We had some crumpets and jam from the super but they insisted on heating up some lasagne for us. So gracious, we didn't have words to express our thanks. The room was larger than most B&B but well appointed. Nice touches like a stocked refrigerator and useful bath amenities such as cotton swabs and such. I liked the USB port device that allowed us to charge all of our phones and pads easily. The breakfast options were a bit daunting as I didn't know what to choose. I would recommend the croissants, especially served warm. The Blueberry juice was a surprise and refreshing without beibg overly sweet. The Scottish breakfast is a feast if you are really hungry. My wife who is a picky eater had it both days and ate most of it. The best seat for breakfast is in front of the big bay window where there is a tremendous view of the bay and a bird feeder to watch the birds in the morning light. A great stay

The sound of the wind, ocean and baby lambs outside of your bedroom window. My husband and I stayed at Carters Rest for two nights this May during our honeymoon. I had been looking forward to it from what I had seen of their website, and the experience certainly did not disappoint. After one wrong turn and some helpful hints from the owner (after all, it wouldn't be an experience driving around on the Isle of Skye if you didn't find yourself down a single-track road with cows on either side of you, headed the wrong direction at least once!), we found this lovely B&B just outside Glendale on the Isle of Skye. Julie and Steve are the most amazing hosts and instantly made us feel at home! Everything was impeccable and the attention to detail was unlike any other guest house we stayed in. It was such a relief to come back here every night and just enjoy the grounds, both inside and out. We had the King Room, which was lovely and had everything we needed--including beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. They even have *amazing* Wi-Fi (a strong signal that actually works!) and a complimentary iPad in the room for guests. Breakfast was like eating at a five-star restaurant; the presentation was absolutely lovely and the food was delicious. I still long for the Scottish porridge with fresh fruit and the toasted tea cake. Meals are served in a breakfast nook with windows on all three sides and views of the sea, and you also have the opportunity to chat with other guests as you sip your fresh French-press coffee. Both nights, we took the opportunity to explore the area around Carters Rest by simply walking down the lane, where we snapped photos of surrounding cliffs, distant waterfalls, the sea and of course grazing sheep. Tip: outside, just to the side of the breakfast nook, there's a lovely patio area with a bird feeder that's perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine! If we're ever back in this part of the world again, we'll definitely be returning to Carters Rest. As for now, I'm content with stalking them on Facebook.

Great room, well appointed (tea and coffee hot pot, snack to recharge you) bathroom ensuite was super clean and well appointed. I stayed two nights and was very happy with the room, service and options. No meals available (covid rule, not their normal business) - but there are plenty of options within walking distance. I had breakfast a Relish x 2 (it was delicious) You are 5 mins walk to the center of town - which was why i picked this location. There is a grocery store about 3 mins walk down the road. Plenty of places in town to eat but make your reservation for dinner (WEEKS) before you travel. there is no "walk-in" during covid -- even though window signs say it is okay - it just doesn't work. . Thank you for letting me stay once again.

There is a mini fridge with water, some snacks and a kettle for tea and coffee; I was even offered fresh milk! The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that they don't accept cards or electronic payment. That's right, cash only! So, keep that in mind and hopefully they catch up to the 21st century in the near future.

I stayed with a large group of tourist guides on a recce to Skye, everyone in the group was impressed and had a good stay. I personally particularly appreciated the breakfast.

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 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.

We stayed at the Myrtle Bank for two nights and had breakfasts and dinners there…read more It's a lovely hotel with a fantastic sweeping view of the sea loch. When the skies are clear, you can see the Isle of Skye in the distance. They have a solarium lounge where you can enjoy the view and have a drink. The dining room also has a wonderful view of the sea loch. Service is warm and wonderful. Our room was comfortable. It faced the back of the hotel and have an odd window that if one wanted to can climb out and walk on the roof. There was also a large vent next to the window, which dominated the view. The strangest of all was the bathroom sink. The bathroom had been remodeled and everything was updated. However, the sink was about 5 inches wide and 11 inches long. It was rather hard to use and keep water from dripping over the side. The breakfasts here are terrific. They have a nice selection of self-serve yogurt/cereals/fruit compotes and even peanut butter. The cooked breakfast menu also have a nice range of choices. I did try the smoked haddock and poached egg one morning. I was surprised to find a whole fillet of smoked haddock. It was good and I got plenty of protein for my day of hiking. The dinners here were also great. Besides the printed menu, there is a big chalkboard of special starters and mains. Our group had a range of items from the printed menu and the specials and everything was delicious and lovingly made. The dessert menu is also on a big chalkboard. A popular choice was the ice creams and especially the very berry ice cream. The staff were wonderful. Even with the strangeness of my room, I would recommend staying here and definitely eating here.

We loved the pakoras and other Indian inspired dishes. We had the steak the first night and that was wonderful too. Reservations are highly recommended. They are popular and fill up fast. Lovely view of the water too. Also like the outdoor seating so on the warmer days you can sit outside with a drink from the bar. Wish this place was in my hometown. They would do well in the foodie town of Napa, California!
