The property was warm and inviting. The Breakfast was fresh and delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Quiet/Relaxing room/lounge with tea, coffee, water and views. Along with access to outdoor saunas was such a nice touch. Great location and can't wait to come back.

Very quaint B&B with the friendliest hosts. Room was very clean and nicely appointed. The bed was the most comfortable we encountered in our 2+ week trip to Scotland. Breakfast was prepared to order and of very high quality.

Portree is a delightful seaside town especially when all the day tourists have left and it is quieter. There are lovely walks to do around the Portree area and it is easy to connect to a tour from the town.

It's a full day by train and bus to reach Portree, but it's a beautiful little town. I don't think there's a better town in which to stay on Isle of Skye. We questioned whether it would be worth it to spend two days traveling for one day on Skye, but it definitely was. The 9-hour tour with Real Scottish Journeys was excellent and Bill, our guide, was great.

Positives - cute little town. Picturesque.
Negatives - difficult to find parking if you are driving. Lots of tourists so parking is at a premium. Make sure to make reservations when dining out or they may not be able to accommodate you.

Visited in May and it was very busy.
Visited in May and it was very busy. Good for access to rest of Skye. Restaurants didn't open for the full week, despite the resort being "full" (according to availability of accommodation). Also many don't take bookings so unless you want to eat at 5.30pm you have to stand outside in a queue for a table to become free.

A location for myths, legends and beautiful nature.
A location for myths, legends and beautiful nature.
Things to see and do:
1. Plunge your face in the water under Sligachan Bridge for a faerie blessing.
2. Hike up to the old man of Storr.
3. Go to the top of the Bride Veil's Falls and drink a sip for good luck.
4. Visit Talisker (Book months in advance for a distillery tour), but the visitor shop is worthwhile regardless - you can engrave a bottle or draw your own bottle from a cask yourself without a tour.
We spent more time in the surrounding areas than the actual town itself, special sites and nature. The town itself is good for a night or two, but I'd focus my efforts on the landscape of Skye instead of the inside of the shops of Skye.
Be sure to factor in opening times for certain restaurants. Most places have a "no booking" policy, so you can expect to stand in line when wanting to eat out at the recommended places.
Spots to eat that we tried:
- The Lower Deck Seafood (Queue 30min before opening time) located on the harbour side.
- The Isles Inn (Walk-in 30min before you're hungry) with live music almost every night around 21:00ish.
Spots for great coffee:
Talisker - just outside they have Caora Dhubh Coffee Company. Worth the coffee itself if you're after the best cup of coffee in Skye.

Portree is lovely.
Portree is lovely. We visited in early may and the crowds were mostly manageable. I would be a little concerned in the heart of the season. My suggestion to the powers that be would be to consider shuttle busses to the popular sites from centralized collection points; discourage rental cars from driving to the sites independently in some way. The small roads and on-site car parks can become overly crowded. We couldn't get near Quiraing for the traffic on the winding one lane road. In all other respects, Skye and Portree are lovely and a pleasure to visit.
Fabulous spacious room with superb view! Comfy, clean, tasteful, well looked after. Super friendly host! Loved all the little extras: a wee dram, variety of coffees in room, quirky/fun art/ornaments etc
Breakfast was delicious and pre ordered the night before- lots of options and included buffet items too.
Parking was very easy opposite the hotel and location great to easily access Portree itself, as well as a great base to explore Skye. We had 2 nights here and would highly recommend.
Kisteen and Amy made us feel at home the moment we walked through the door. Stonefield House feels more like a boutique hotel than a B&B. The rooms were spotless and the bed very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and set us up for a full day of walking. Providing a decanter of whisky for an evening tipple was a lovely touch. Stonefield House is located in a peaceful spot, but is less than a a 10 minute walk from the centre of Portree, so no problems at all with parking.
Wonderful family cottage near Portree; surrounded by nature. The room is superb. Everything well thought out in the smallest details. Homemade and well made breakfast. The hostess Georgia was extremely friendly and helpful. There would not be a better option. Place to park in the house and free of charge. Superior to many 4 and 5 star hotels I have stayed in Scotland.
House was spacious warm and very comfortable. So well equipped and clean. Location 5 minutes from Portree Centre
Absolutely beautiful Loch on the doorstep-
Best restaurant in Skye is the Cuillin Hills Hotel with great views of the loch and is within walking distance from the house
Staff was very kind and helpful. The athmosphere was very authentic and pleasant and it really added to our overall experience of being in Scotland. This is a highly recommendable hotel for anyone visiting Isle of Skye!
