Parking is a clear plus, with reserved or nearby spaces frequently available. Communication is responsive and, when staff are involved, they are helpful, though on-site presence is limited. Several note the lack of on-site breakfast and advise reserving restaurants in town ahead, especially on busier days. Expect a straightforward base for exploring Skye.

Very good location to stay at! We appreciated the warning that you should pre-book restaurants days in advance. If driving a small car, be careful of the parking as you need to drive over a small curb. Great stay overall.

My partner and I had a short stay in Portree and stayed at the Coolin View Guest House. We'd chosen it based on previous reviews and the economical price and it did not disappoint! It was perfect for what we were looking for and what we expected. The location is perfect, with it being right in town and easily walkable all around Portree. It was great having designated parking and I can imagine in summer that is even more of a bonus. The views are beautiful from the front door. We had read that some rooms were quite small, but ours was the perfect size - double bed, plenty of space, a desk and full bathroom ensuite. It was self Check in and check out and it was all super easy and efficient. We would have loved to stay longer and would definitely return again!

This spot was absolutely perfect. Hotel is well looked after and checking in was a breeze. The room had an excellent view and everything you could possibly need. Beds were particularly comfortable. I was concerned about being on the first floor with 2 large suitcases, but was delighted to see it was only a short flight of stairs. We had a rental car and there was always a spot out front for when we came and went. Couldn’t have been more seamless. This spot is an absolute gem.

Our room was small, but clean and perfect for two people. The room we had had a full size bed and two bunkbeds. It would be Extremely cozy with four people. Parking was available across the street. If that was full, the offsite parking was just a 5 to 8 minute walk back to your hotel.

Nice little hotel with rooms overlooking the harbor. It has reserved parking spaces which was handy since there isn't a lot of parking in the area. It was self check-in and out, but we didn't have any issues with that. Room was a little musty and the water system was loud while showering, using the sink, or flushing the toilet. Overall, we would definitely stay again.

I stayed in a single room. It was clean, comfortable and warm. It was quite compact but fine for one person. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room and a TV. The bathroom was clean and it had a good shower. The location is brilliant with a lovely view down over the harbour, though my room didn't have a view. There are loads of places to eat. Communication was excellent including checking that everything was ok, and informing me of a planned power outage by the electricity company. I'd be happy to stay there again.

We really enjoyed being able to stay as part of the community and not in a big box hotel. Our room was as advertised and had a beautiful view of the harbour. There was ample storage with the deep window well and the closet. The washroom was quite clean--just those corners that can only be seen from inside the shower seem to be missed (as was mentioned in other reviews). The bed and linens were very comfortable and furniture was lovely (seemed newer and fit the space well) The carpeting in the room needs to be changed, as does the carpeting in the common areas, however it seemed as clean as it could be. Parking was easy and on the night we missed a space we found one on the side street without issue. We really enjoyed being able to walk to cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shops once we were parked for the night. I noticed the fresh flowers in the entrance--that was a nice touch. Check in and out was easy--and the cleaners we bumped into seemed friendly and professional. We would certainly consider this location if we return to Portree.

Our stay was overall good. I keep seeing reviews that complain that the room was too small, but it was plenty big for 2 people. The bed was super comfy, we had a great view of Portree, and it’s walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants. Our complaints were the mold in the bathroom which I assume is just part of it being an older building, and the inconvenient outlets in the room.

Beautiful room with a lovely view to the Portree harbour. Close to everything (shops, pubs) and convenient location for exploring the area. I have no experience communucating with the staff, but they seemed to be easily reachable if I had needed something. Walls were really thin though, could hear everything from the room next door, but I didn’t mind that.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for new year's. Self check-in and out was very simple. The staff were really lovely, helpful and down for a chat. The view from our window was magnificent, overlooking the bay. The perfect home base for our explorations on Isle of Skye. The only thing that would improve the experience would be a mini fridge to keep groceries and milk fresh. Although mini fridges seem to be more common in Australian accommodation, as I haven't had one anywhere we have stayed in the UK.

Very hands off, never saw a person who managed this property, however they were responsive by email, and I don't necessarily need to be greeted. Clean, comfortable, easy to self-check in. My primary frustration was that there was no advance notice that we should make dinner reservations if we wanted to eat dinner anywhere other than the grocery store. We arrived somewhat late, walked the whole town, and evey place to eat had a sign saying no walk-ins. Would have preferred to eat a hot meal at a restaurant. Portree hike/walk starting around the corner was really nice.

We had a tiny room which has seen better days, and the bathroom was so small that it lacked a separate sink. The sink was on top of the toilet cistern, something we'd never seen before - not easy or pleasant to use. There was no staff on site. No breakfast. Very expensive for what it is. The kindest thing I can say is that it is in an excellent location. Someone is making a fortune out of very sub-standard accommodatoin.

The bed and linens were very comfortable and furniture was lovely (seemed newer and fit the space well) The carpeting in the room needs to be changed, as does the carpeting in the common areas, however it seemed as clean as it could be. Parking was easy and on the night we missed a space we found one on the side street without issue. We really enjoyed being able to walk to cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shops once we were parked for the night. I noticed the fresh flowers in the entrance--that was a nice touch. Check in and out was easy--and the cleaners we bumped into seemed friendly and professional. We would certainly consider this location if we return to Portree.

Nice little hotel with rooms overlooking the harbor. It has reserved parking spaces which was handy since there isn't a lot of parking in the area. It was self check-in and out, but we didn't have any issues with that. Room was a little musty and the water system was loud while showering, using the sink, or flushing the toilet. Overall, we would definitely stay again.

Location
Excellent central location within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and transport, making it a convenient base. Some ground-floor rooms pick up street or foot-traffic noise.

My partner and I had a short stay in Portree and stayed at the Coolin View Guest House. We'd chosen it based on previous reviews and the economical price and it did not disappoint! It was perfect for what we were looking for and what we expected. The location is perfect, with it being right in town and easily walkable all around Portree. It was great having designated parking and I can imagine in summer that is even more of a bonus. The views are beautiful from the front door. We had read that some rooms were quite small, but ours was the perfect size - double bed, plenty of space, a desk and full bathroom ensuite. It was self Check in and check out and it was all super easy and efficient. We would have loved to stay longer and would definitely return again!

Our stay was overall good. I keep seeing reviews that complain that the room was too small, but it was plenty big for 2 people. The bed was super comfy, we had a great view of Portree, and it’s walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants. Our complaints were the mold in the bathroom which I assume is just part of it being an older building, and the inconvenient outlets in the room.

I stayed in a single room. It was clean, comfortable and warm. It was quite compact but fine for one person. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room and a TV. The bathroom was clean and it had a good shower. The location is brilliant with a lovely view down over the harbour, though my room didn't have a view. There are loads of places to eat. Communication was excellent including checking that everything was ok, and informing me of a planned power outage by the electricity company. I'd be happy to stay there again.

Great location. We were happy to have a room downstairs but the downside is frequent noises from other people coming and going as well as noises from cars on the street. Also power went out the last day we were there (through no fault of their own. The whole lot was out of power). But it was still a bummer.

Beautiful room with a lovely view to the Portree harbour. Close to everything (shops, pubs) and convenient location for exploring the area. I have no experience communucating with the staff, but they seemed to be easily reachable if I had needed something. Walls were really thin though, could hear everything from the room next door, but I didn’t mind that.

Very good location to stay at! We appreciated the warning that you should pre-book restaurants days in advance. If driving a small car, be careful of the parking as you need to drive over a small curb. Great stay overall.

Very hands off, never saw a person who managed this property, however they were responsive by email, and I don't necessarily need to be greeted. Clean, comfortable, easy to self-check in. My primary frustration was that there was no advance notice that we should make dinner reservations if we wanted to eat dinner anywhere other than the grocery store. We arrived somewhat late, walked the whole town, and evey place to eat had a sign saying no walk-ins. Would have preferred to eat a hot meal at a restaurant. Portree hike/walk starting around the corner was really nice.

If you book with Coolin House, you’ll be so lucky! I was a solo female traveler and I feel safe at these accommodations. There was clear directions on expectations, they checked in with me upon checking and later to make sure all was well. My stay included a Sunday where most places to eat were closed yet directly next door, there is a Chinese restaurant as well as a co-op very close by. The hot water lasted a while which was needed after a long day of hiking! Great views, pricing and location in proximity to all areas. Book with confidence.

We had a tiny room which has seen better days, and the bathroom was so small that it lacked a separate sink. The sink was on top of the toilet cistern, something we'd never seen before - not easy or pleasant to use. There was no staff on site. No breakfast. Very expensive for what it is. The kindest thing I can say is that it is in an excellent location. Someone is making a fortune out of very sub-standard accommodatoin.

Okay rooms - smaller than expected - carpet in room needed cleaning or replacing. Very good location though with nice view of Harbor, but with all the other available options in town, I would opt for a different place next time.

We never had an ocean view room, but our room was so cute and cozy, I felt like I was in a bedroom of a house rather than a hotel room. We loved it. Bed is super soft and cozy. We had some great sleeps. Easily walkable to the shops/food/ grocery. Would stay here again. Loved it.
