Portree with a view!
Pros:

We stayed at Cuillin for 4 nights in the turret rooms (2). The moment we arrived the checkin process was flawless with dinner at 6 for 5 people. The dinner and breakfast was excellent as well as the service. They offered Highland Soap products in a convenient manner in case you forget to pick them up in Fort William. I think the best part was the ease to park a car. We did not have to fight and pay for parking! It is a 12 minute walk to downtown so it is not a big deal. I plan to return for a longer stay,

Lovely Stay in the Highlands
Pros:

Our family recently stayed in two rooms and enjoyed two nights at the Cuillin Hills Hotel on our first trip to Scotland. We traveled for multiple days and stayed in five locations. Cuillin Hills was hands-down our favorite. The hotel is in an ideal location, within a short walk or ride from the town, but still tucked away enough to be peacefully quiet and offer stunning views. Both of our guest rooms were spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The mattress and bedding were top notch and provided a luxuriously comfortable sleep. The hotel also had a cozy common space, which my husband and I loved. Because of the fireplace that let off an earthy and sweet peat smell and the plush furniture, the space was a favorite among many hotel guests. The restaurant was high quality, and we enjoyed perfectly mixed cocktails, local Scottish whiskeys, and two outstanding dinners and breakfasts that were full of fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables. Despite all these excellent points, the brightest star of our stay was the phenomenal staff. From the reception desk, to the wait and bar staff, every interaction we had was welcoming and uplifting. The kindness and consideration shown to our family brought added joy to our time in the Highlands. We highly recommend the hotel for all types of guests, from solo trips to family events. Thank you for a perfect stay! Two days wasn’t long enough, and we hope to return!

A delightful home away from home…..
Pros:

The staff at Cuillin Hills Hotel were superb. There were ready smiles and helpful suggestions for each of our questions. Newer staff were eager to please and more experienced staff were both effective and discreet in their guidance of their newer colleagues. The fire in the parlor fireplace was inviting and the views some of the most beautiful this traveling couple has enjoyed. Great attention to the details of interior spaces made the hotel both homey and professionally effective. Outside, the comfortable walk to the village was picturesque. We highly recommend the Cuillin Hills Hotel.

Two nights stay
Pros:

We loved our stay but were disappointed that there was no offer of recompense regarding the day access to the hotel when the power was off. This ran over its time. Not a fault of the hotel of course but a complimentary drink or coffee at least would have been welcome to recognise the inconvenience to guests.

Really lovely hotel in a great location
Pros:

Such a lovely hotel. Welcoming staff, but not fussing over you. Lovely building and well-kept, with comfortable lounge area and fire. Spectacular location & views. Big garden overlooking said views. Our evening meal was lovely and a wonderful breakfast too. Worth the extra £££ for a premium room. Very high spec, spacious & comfy. Huge power shower and bathroom area. Comfy bed & armchairs with stunning view. We hope to return.

10 years and back…
Pros:

Came back here after 10 years for a trip for my partners 40th. Rooms have been done up since our last visit and definitely more modern, but still extremely comfortable. Staff were great, especially at the bar in the evenings - both the people over our three nights were knowledgable when we were sampling the many whiskies! Great location. Breakfast was fabulous - everything we had was great especially the eggs royale! Thank you for a special weekend!

Incredible trip
Pros:

When I was looking for a place to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I opted for Isle of Skye. Since it's the 10th anniversary, I wanted to go for a place very nice to stay at.
The hotel enjoys a splendid view - you have Loch Portree and Cuillin Hills on a clear day. We were lucky to enjoy the view when we had breakfast there.
I really appreciated the hand written cards congratulations our milestone which both we were very delighted. The dinner was incredibly delicious. The way they cooked the chicken breast was phenomenal - probably the best I've ever had in the UK so far. The bread was also nice!
The room was huge and everything inside was clean and up to standard.
The staff was so professional and friendly which made our stay to another level.
I'm so glad I picked this location to celebrate our journey of love. Thanks!

Friendly hotel
Pros:

The hotel is in an amazing location, and makes the most of the stunning view. Being led to a window table at breakfast on my first visit (alone) is what keeps pulling me back to the Cuillin Hills!
Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. It is lovely being there.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Cuillin Hills Hotel and would highly recommend it.
The staff were so nice and incredibly helpful, always welcoming and happy to assist with anything we needed. Breakfast was excellent — there were so many options and everything was absolutely delicious.
Dinner at the restaurant was brilliant, especially the fish dishes, which were fresh and full of flavour. Our room had everything we needed, was spotless, and very comfortable. And the views are truly something else — absolutely breathtaking.
A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Amazing!
Pros:

This is a very special place. All of the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Great rooms, excellent location. Food was amazing. Special shout out to John for arranging the best bacon and egg sandwiches for our early drive out of town but to be honest this was just typical of the service we received the whole stay.
