After a long drive to Portree, we needed a place to crash. It didn't need to be fancy, it just needed to be comfortable. The Bayview Hotel provided exactly that. It is pretty basic accommodation - a small double room with ensuite. But unlike the last place we stayed, it had strong wi-fi, a comfortable bed with decent pillows, shower... More

The manager of this house, having asked his support on a facility of the room that was detective, was unavailable first and then unfair and extremelly rude. The room was really small without any cabinet none wardrobe.

I can´t understand all the bad ratings. - We stayed in two rooms in the upper building for 5 nights. The rooms are clean and get cleaned every day during the stay. - The TV works good. Only the volume is to loud and I always had a bad feeling annoying neighbors, but nobody took care so either the walls... More

I've been staying at the hostel for 2 nights. For the price i paid (16 pounds a night), i got a clean room (4 beds), a clean kitchen and dinner room, a friendly host, shower and toilets shared with all others but still clean. I would advise not to book this hostel if you are spending the whole week in... More

Made a reservation (for 2 nights) for this place, followed host's instructions. Offered my card to hold the room. They don't take cards and said to call if we'd be after six. I called - no answer, left a message. Get to hotel - room has been given away. Was especially difficult to find given dancing festival going on. Poor... More

Had the great pleasure of spending a couple of days on the beautiful isle of skye. This isle has some of most amazing landscape and a must for all hill walkers. However if you are traveling please avoid this "dump" at all cost. The rooms were advertised at 25 pound per person. However the manager demanded 55 pound for the... More

Our reason for visiting Portree was to spend time with friends who were spending an extended vacation in the town so we met up with them before we went to Bay View House. They already knew where to find it and were with us when we went to introduce ourselves to the owner. Immediately he saw there were four of... More

The Bayview house has a quite attractive tiny outside area which is neatly landscaped. The room we had (triple room) was spartan in both decoration and amenities, but adequate for our needs. The price was quite reasonable. The host, however, helped us immensely both in making arrangements to arrive in Portree by train and ferry, and also in planning our... More

When the owner opened the door to our room, I thought at first we were going to walk through some sort of storage area to the place we would stay, but no, this was it: double bed with tired linens, small metal table and two metal folding chairs, TV on the wall. The "mattress" turned out to be an inner... More

I have just returned from staying at Bayview House and felt compelled to write a review after the wonderful stay that my partner and I had there. I arrived in Skye (as a first time visitor to the island) unsure of where to 'stop' but hoping for a room with a reasonably central location in Portree. I was lucky enough... More
