A lovely location but very expensive and poor value for money.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good. Also the location is very good with wonderful views of the Cuillins. Good to have coffee/tea in the bedroom - nice coffee. Bed comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel seemed a bit shabby in places and in need of redecoration in places. It was also very expensive and we felt overpriced despite the beautiful location.

Decent but not great.
Pros:

Property location and amazing staff are the high points!

Cons:

There was no lobby to rest as the main whiskey / fireplace room was under reservation. That was very disappointing. For the small rooms and age and lack of updates to carpet and walls its cost definitely did not convey.

Shabby!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

This was our most expensive hotel on this trip and it was shabby, dirty, curtains were hanging off the rails in our room, walls shabby and there was blood on the bottom bed sheet - nothing was done about this! No evening restaurant - you have to go next door - there is a bar no barperson, the receptionist grudgingly agreed to get us a drink. This is not the expectation for over £300 for a night !!
The location is what this hotel survives on, unlike other hotels that try super hard and rely on their reputation for cleanliness, service, food etc this hotel is all there is before Portree (the capital) town. Do not stay!

Pros:

Personale cordiale e molto disponibile: abbiamo avuto ritardi con i trasporti e ci sono comunque venuti incontro per la cena nonostante l'orario.
Camera e bagno completi di tutti i comfort a partire dalla macchinetta del caffè e il bollitore fino ai prodotti da bagno.

Overpriced for a distinctly tired hotel.
Pros:

Well located for touring Skye. Very comfortable bed. Decent breakfast.

Cons:

Room very small. Ditto bathroom. Rather tired A lot of nearby traffic - some of which made the hotel entrance somewhat dangerous.

Mooie locatie de rest kan veel beter
Pros:

Locatie was top.
Naast het hotel een mooi oud bruggetje over een rivier met een leuke mythe..
Kamer was goed met een goed bed en een lekkere douche.
Direct naast of aan het hotel zat een groot en goed restaurant.

Cons:

De kamers waren gehorig.
Personeel niet erg vriendelijk.
Als grootste diepte punt kwam er uit de keuken het geluid van een kotsende medewerker. Op dat moment werd ons ontbijt menu bereid. We hebben het bestelde menu overgeslagen en hebben de ontbijt zaal verlaten. Toen onderweg maar lekkere broodjes gescoord.

Pros:

The location, the building and above all, the staff! They’re amazing and make sure you have a great experience stayong at Sligachan!

Cons:

Nothing really. I just wished the Seamus bar was open later in the night. An EV charger station would be nice to add as well.
