Beautiful property. Room was comfortable. Lots of different activities around the hotel for entertainment. We enjoyed the game room and library. Dinner was fantastic. The pistachio chicken breast with haggis was my favorite meal throughout our whole stay in Scotland. Breakfast was also good with a nice variety. Wonderful staff. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Set in a converted cluster of fisherman’s houses along Portree Harbor the hotel offers plenty of character and quirks. There are 17 bedrooms with attached bathroom with all expected facilities.

This was a great place to stay on our Isle of Skye tour. The service for check-in and at the restaurant were superb. The room was beautiful, overlooking the bay. The included breakfast was tasty with lots of options to choose from. This is the perfect place in Portree.

The property is excellent! Beautiful location, right on the water. The cabin is small, but thoughtfully designed and appointed to maximize space and utility. The decor was simple and tasteful. Everything you need is provided, including a laundry room, and the cabin was very clean. There are nice extras, such as slippers and biscuits as well - nice touch! Would happily stay there again!

The Distillery is a great option to stay while visiting the Highlands and going up north. It's a top choice to feel and breathe the nature while enjoying a very comfortable evening. It is a good idea to bring the car into the island if you can spare the time to tour around - just beware that you have to fit your schedule to the ferry timetables and it can be tricky on Sundays. Regarding meal options, also note that there could be no other options apart from the hotel ( we were here mid-May).

The location, walking, scenery is fantastic, distillery tour is interesting and whisky tasting is informative. Staff are friendly and informative.
The downstairs room (6) requires work, has no openable windows, no AC and has forced air ventilation which is noisy and can’t be switched off. Basin is set far too low for use and there is no hot water in the basin. No place to unpack clothes so if staying longer than one night, have to live out of your suitcase

Fab location, accommodation.
Fab location, accommodation. You need to make sure to plan your trip around the ferry times or you will not make it to the island. Great for all sorts of activities on the water and on the land. We biked it and although it was taxing (ver hilly) the views and wildlife spotting make it so worthwhile. We saw two golden eagles for example. 👍

We only stayed 1 night. We have arrived with the last ferry. After checking in, we had a drive on the island end-to-end. Spectacular and very beautiful (wild).
We didn't had dinner or breakfast (we left with the first ferry), so I can't speak for the food.

Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye.
Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye. Definitely more to explore than just the distillery. Some beautiful, but pretty hard going, walks / hikes with amazing views and hidden gems...like the tiny cave on the walk to Fladday. Get a good map and strong boots and enjoy.

Intended as a stop over before our ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy the following day, our short visit to Raasay House got our holiday off to a great start.
The friendly staff were very accommodating of a family travelling with a large dog! Everything about Raasay House had us wishing we had booked to stay for longer.
The 20 minute ferry crossing from Skye is well worth the spectacular views of the Cuillins of Skye from the lawn in front of the hotel and from the bar where we ate in the evening and the brasserie where we were served a delicious breakfast.
We LOVED it here! Such a gem! Fantastic facilities and rooms with great amenities. It’s a super special hotel as you’re not only staying at the distillery but there are only six rooms (currently). So it’s a wonderfully quiet/restful stay on a peaceful island…with whiskey! Also, pretty sure the chef is secretly Master Michelin chef. As most people leave the island on the last ferry, there was only us, the locals, and the Raasay crew at the bar-and talking to the people who stayed was a special memory for us. We’ll be back.
We were fortunate to be upgraded to a room which overlooked (from a distance) the mountains of Skye and the ferry port. Beautiful view when the sun shone but the weather was variable and at times quite wet.
Interesting island with limited road access but enjoyed our expedition north and drove the length of Callum's Road. Find out about it and experience the trip for yourself, but your car will require good ground clearance.
Food very good both in the Hotel and the Distillery but not inexpensive.
From the moment we arrived at rassay house. The warm family welcome from fraya.fin .Alice. and the wonderful lady of the house Lyn. Made me and my dad feel right at home. Great rooms Great breakfast . And 2 minutes walk to the rassay distillery . With options of tours and dinner reservations at the distillery from rassay house we were well looked after and will definitely be visiting again to experience the activities that are available boat rides kayaking and more water activities.
Raasay House Hotel is a fantastic place to stay. All the staff are warm and friendly and would do anything for you. Our room was clean and spacious and just what we had been looking for. The activities on offer are amazing and great value for money. The food was fresh and tasty and very enjoyable. Overall this was an amazing stay at a brilliant property on a beautiful Scottish island. I would 100% recommend anyone staying here and getting out and about to discover the Isle of Raasay.
This hotel and area was our favorite part of our visit to Scotland! Raasay is a very nice small island with a wonderful view of Skye. We enjoyed the 5min walk to the distillery next door. They have a garden in the back open to guests and picked the best and sweetest strawberries and raspberries right off the vine. We did the bike hire and was nice exploring the island. The front yard boasts a wonderful view while sipping a coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening.
A last minute decision when accommodations on Skye were unavailable. Great decision! The stay included a free tour of the distillery. We also booked dinner on site and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Lovely pastoral setting and water views. Our room looked newly decorated, clean and fresh, very comfortable. Breakfast was also quite tasty — cooked to order. Not suitable for guests with mobility issues.
The Isle of Raasay distillery is one of the best places I have ever stayed. Between the beautiful accommodations, the wonderful spirits offered, and the fantastic staff, you won't be disappointed with your stay. This place is a must for anyone looking for great drinks and fantastic views. It's easy to walk to the Inn next door for dinner and makes the whole experience even more unique. We loved it!
Amazing place! The location/setting is exceptional. Beautiful view from the restaurant overlooking the Isle of Skye. Staff is wonderful and breakfast had a great selection. The library is a hidden gem. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Make sure that you check out the gardens behind the building and the church ruins.
I wish we had more time to explore the area.
Hotel is modern, new and beautifully decorated. The staff was very nice. I was impressed with the dinner because it was a fixed 6 meal course and all the dishes were worthy of a fine dining experience. They also gave me a tour to the distillery and explained the whiskey process. The tour is free/included with the stay.
I really loved my stay in this hotel.
The room decor was beautiful with stunning views of the sea and jetty. The dinner we had at this place was superb. It was a unique and memorable experience staying here. We recommend people to visit this place and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Raasay Island. We look forward to return again.
Gorgeous hotel and lush location. Spacious, comfortable bedroom with shared lounge and balcony. Very clean. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Friendly staff. Phenomenal views of pasture, harbor, and Skye. Lovely paths and gardens to explore. Plenty of activities for families. Simply the best!
This hotel stay was far above my expectations.
The room was immaculate, the views were stunning and it’s by far and away the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Also the staff were so friendly and as it’s owned by the island community I hope the business flourishes.
Isle of Raasay Distillery is situated conveniently close to the Ferry Terminal and within walking distance to the Raasay Hotel for dinner. Decor was Scandi/Scot trendy with fabulous attention to detail. Exceptional views across the water to Skye.
Amazing location with the best views of Skye. Great plan for a weekend getaway. Restaurant inside the distillery makes for the perfect pairing for a lovely dinner after a day off hiking and learning about Raasay whisky.
The setting was perfect. We arrived in a storm and it was touch and go if we could get to the island.. the hotel did not fail to impress.. the setting, the quality of the accommodation, the service was exceptional.
The welcome,rooms,all staff were excellent-looked after our every need and were most kind.A beautiful home away from home for us and a great base to explore this magical island.Thank you Raasay House😊
