Lovely hotel with a fantastic location and view. It is an old building so be aware that the floors creak and the walls are thin. Ear plugs a must!

Great place for our stay in Skye. Loved the room, such quaint touches from them made it feel like home. Even though parking seemed to be a slight problem, there was plenty of public parking within a short walking distance. Dining options were a bit scarce and worked MUCH better with reservations than without, so plan ahead! Beautiful property in a gorgeous setting...would definitely recommend and look forward to staying here again!

Wonderful Stay!
This hotel was cozy and had character. Customer service was great at check in but server wasn’t very good. Sub par service at breakfast. Overall the rooms were nice and the bar and restaurant on site were a bonus. Location was great. Would stay here again and recommend.

Bosville’s location in Portree is very central and walkable to most things. It was very clean and the restaurant/bar attached was great. The staff were helpful and nice. I’d recommend this spot to anyone who can handle walking some stairs to their room.

This was a quaint and historic property. While only the carpet seemed dated, the bathroom in my room was marvelous and chic! I reserved the superior double room. They provided robes, slippers, and a various assortment of complimentary items including a complimentary candle. They're one of the few to offer hot chocolate as well as tea. There was a blanket on the chair and a throw on the bed, which were perfect for a nap. I have a bad back so am very sensitive to beds, but this one was great! Not only was it very comfortable, but had a nice duvet (which the likes of Inverlochy Castle didn't even have!!) At check-in I was informed there's no lift on the island, but they'd help me with my bags, which they did expeditiously with several restaurant staff offering to assist. The customer service here was amazing. Everyone is so friendly. This is the Highland hospitality that the region is well known for. After a long day of hiking in the rain, sleet, and snow, it was a pleasure to rest here and be pampered by the ladies at dinner, where the food portions were massive! In Jan 2023, as they work to remodel, my only upgrade request is to install USB ports. The service and amenities rivaled and surpassed some of the 5 star hotels where I stayed in during my trip.

The information written about this hotel was simply inaccurate. The hotel is terribly outdated and run down. The room I was given smelled of stale alcohol and urine. Mold in the bathroom. Shower drain didn’t work. Beds lumpy and uncomfortable Unfortunately one of the worst hotels I’ve run across

I have traveled extensively in Europe and this is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever been in. For starters, there was eight parking spaces for the hotel and restaurant. No handicap availability. We had to unload luggage at the door then move our car three blocks away to public parking. The clerk at the desk sat and watched me struggle with my cane trying to get my luggage in the door. The room was badly outdated and run down. There were unpleasant faint odors of stale alcohol and urine. Mold in the shower. Bed lumpy and uncomfortable. There were no other rooms in Portree to move to. After a glorious week in England, this sad excuse for a hotel definitely left a bad first impression of Scottish hospitality and left a bad mark on an otherwise happy vacation. Do not be fooled as I was. When researching the place, the ratings, descriptions of the property and photos all looked legitimate. They were wrong.
