Great place and experience. They need to get some stuff worked out. Staff communication and ability to teach staff. Long dark hair in shower which is neither me or husband. Things need to be fixed and sauna was dirty. Need a system in place for turning on, cleaning and grabbing towels and having them cleaned from Sauna . It's expensive therefore things need to be better . I'm rooting for them . It's a unique hotel with a lot to offer. It's a great place

The cosy cabin was clean and quiet located on hill. The main lodge was modern and comfortable. It was about a mile from the small town of Portree. While I did enjoy my stay, I felt it was very overpriced.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast. Our pod was very distant from main building. Walking in the rain back and forth was a little inconvenient. Overall, great stay.

I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The little units were well equipped with a bed and bathroom, air conditioning, TV etc. The units are small but it was such an interesting experience so would highly recommend. The restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was well done and dinners were top notch. My only complaint was the main hall was warm but other than that it was well done.

The little cabins were cute, but incredibly stuffy and with lots of midges flying around (so we were unable to use the patio or open a door. It would’ve been great to have a small window to get air moving. Also, the large window/door looked out onto the main path, so we had very little privacy. The sauna/pool and restaurant were also closed so

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The cabins were unique and nice inside, heated washroom floor was nice, AC was great and beds decent - the layout was something to be desired as the paths up to the cabins walk in front of your front and only window so everyone can see in, a bit annoying, and nobody made the beds for second night or cleaned the cabin (for the price we paid this seems odd). But the big letdown was the restaurant, it was laid out nice and the bar was great / good selection and service, but the food was not good at all - for a place aiming for a high bar and acting like a 4 star resort it was truly awful - both mine and my wife’s meal was terrible, she could t even finish it. Next morning we said we’d just grab a coffee, but as breakfast was included we thought we’d give another go - mistake! Old fruit and pastries given, I had eggs Benedict that looked like the hollandaise came from a package and my wife got sick from the eggs - our fault for giving it a second chance I guess, but it just proved it wasn’t a mistake.
