Prachtige cabins, fijn restaurant maar voor een te hoge prijs
Pros:

Prachtig restaurant en bar.
Hele mooie cabins. Luxe ingericht

Cons:

Prijs is niet reeel. Hiervoor verwacht je een 5 sterren service. Die hebben we niet ervaren

10 out of 10 recommend.
Pros:

Excellent location in Portree close to everything. Very cute and private huts with a beautiful view overlooking Portree and the food was delicious! Staff were very nice to work with!

Cons:

Our room was at the very top of the hill so it was a little difficult getting to breakfast and back to the room. The gravel roads made it difficult to get around with luggage so maybe having some solid sidewalks to walk on would help.

Zeker geen tweede bezoek waard
Pros:

Het ontbijt was zeer goed

Cons:

De afwerking van de pods, de stoelen voor de pod waren kapot. Geen stoel binnen, geheel erg klein. Voor 550 euro per nacht mag je wel wat meer verwachten.

Beautiful views with restful night sleep.
Pros:

We loved the location and the individual rooms. The views of Portree were spectacular. The beds were very comfortable. Quiet, clean rooms. The Hub served wonderful meals. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bathroom had no place to set toiletries. The bathroom also needs some hooks to hang towels and clothes. There were several items in our room that were broken or in disrepair.

Fint hvis man synes det er fedt at bo en i lille hytte på et fjeld.
Pros:

Udsigten og renligheden.

Cons:

Langt fra centrum. Langt med bagage. Ingen ophæng til håndklæder og tøj.

Absolut ungenügendes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig auf einem Hügel oberhalb von Portree. Das Frühstück und Abendessen waren schmackhaft zubereitet. Die Aussicht auf die Bucht und die Umgebung sind sehr schön.

Cons:

Vom zentralen Teil des Hotels (Rezeption und Restaurant) mussten wir ca. 200 m bergaufwärts zu dem Zimmer laufen. Die Zimmer des Hotels sind alle recht kleine Hütten ( nur ca. 3 x 4 m groß) mit sehr kleinem Bad und sind weitläufig auf dem Gelände verteilt. Es gibt keine Ablageflächen im Bad, kein Platz um Koffer unterzubringen ausser unter dem Bett, kein Platz um Kleidung aufzuhängen (im Zimmer gab es lediglich zwei Bügel).
Für zwei Nächte zahlten wir für Hütte und Frühstück für zwei Personen fast 1000 €. Die Ausstattung und Größe der Hütten war in den Hotelunterlagen nicht zu erkennen. Das Hotel ist als 4 Sternehotel angegeben. Hätten wir im Vorraus erkennen können, wie die Lage und Ausstattung der Zimmer (Hütten) in Realität ist, wären wir nie auf die Idee gekommen, dort zu übernachten. Zudem wurde von Tag 1 zu Tag 2 das Zimmer nicht geputzt, das Bett nicht gemacht und die Badezimmerwäsche nicht gewechselt.
Für das was geboten wird ist das Hotel extrem überteuert.

Super emplacement, très calme, cabines cosys et très confortables. Vue magnifique.

Restaurant un peu cher, et pas assez de place pour tous les occupants du site. Sans réservation à l’avance, impossible d’avoir une table.

Spectacular View
Pros:

I stayed in #31 at the top of the hill. The staff were always willing to drive me up in the golf cart with and without luggage. The property is a 20-25 minute walk from the bus stop in the square. The room was a nice size with a big bathroom. The patio had two chairs with a spectacular view below. The room had a mini fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. The breakfasts were excellent. The bar was really relaxing. They could use a second person from 6-8 pm. The bartender was serving bar customers but also fixing drinks and serving folks in the restaurant.

Cons:

The price point.
