    Great position for exploring Portree

    It's a tad expensive for room only, but everything in the area is. In general, anyone visiting Skye, and in fact the North of Scotland, needs to be aware that just turning up and looking for food can be a problem, particularly if you leave it until after 8pm or so - lots of places are having staffing problems, so don't open, and only the Indian and Chinese options are likely to be available late on.

    The position is perfect for visiting Portree as the town centre is 2 or 3 minutes away on foot, the room was quiet, and the view at the front is really good. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was fine. The ensuite in our room was small, and the macerator was incredibly loud, but everything worked ok.

    It was a little small for a family with 2 teenagers. Wasn’t really anywhere to put our bags and if we hung jackets on the hooks, they were where the kettle was.

    Location was great, free parking, room had everything we needed

    The room we were in was very small-bathroom was the size of a closet. Other rooms looked bigger so it could be we just booked the smallest one? The wifi did not work well in our room. There is no lift so having to walk your bags up 3 flights may be an issue if you have mobility limitations. We had no problems parking but parking is limited (7 spots for 10 rooms) and first come first served, so in the busy season may be an issue? Watch the curb was you pull into the car park spots, it’s a bit high if you’re not expecting it in a rental car. It was not an issue for us because we read a review where someone mentioned it so we were prepared!

    Excellent location. Check in was easy. Room and bathroom were both very clean. No issues parking on site.

    The water didn’t get hot enough in the shower and every time you flush it makes a horrible very loud sound probably because of the way the pipes work.

    The location was great. The view was fantastic and it was clean and had good beds.

    Small Room and Bed: The room size, including the double bed, felt cramped for two average-sized individuals, detracting from the overall comfort of our stay.

    Convenient Location: Coolin View's central location in the heart of Skye was ideal for exploring the island's attractions. Easy Check-in: The check-in process at Coolin View was smooth and hassle-free, providing a positive start to our stay.

    Relaxing stay with great views, even in winter!

    Only very minor things: Didn't meet any staff in person, and no breakfast, but I understand that keeps the cost down, and didn't really matter for our part. A lot of narrow stairs up to our room, so some people might prefer the room on the ground floor better.

    Me and my partner visited in January for a 2 night-long weekend. Got the top room, with maybe the best views in Portree! Cozy (not super-spacious) room, but more than enough when you spend most of the day out and about. Very comfy bed, and boiler and coffee in the room. Portree is a cozy city in a fantastic location obviously, but note that not everything is open in winter, so there are fewer restaurants to chose from.
