If this hotel is 4 star then the breakfast service and staff attire does not match to this rating. Not what I expected from a 4 star. Staff dress was not in line with star rating for restaurant staff. The breakfast service was slow. Toast arrived barely toasted in full slices. The tier options of fruit and yogurt was awful and being told we don’t offer portions for 3 people just in case it’s wasted is like going to The Ritz for afternoon tea and only being given part of the sandwiches and cakes just in case they aren’t eaten. Not good.

Location is excellent but need to look for parking as limited. Room was really nicely decorated which made it feel really homely. Restaurant serves excellent food and it’s close to their restaurant and services. Portree itself it’s absolutely beautiful and I could not recommend it enough.

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.

The property was located in the heart of Portree, walkable to restaurants and shops. The property was in good condition. My only complaint was the pillows, which I personally felt to be too hard, and therefore uncomfortable. I would stay here again.

Our sea view room overlooked the beautiful colorful row of houses that you see in the travel videos. Room was very comfortable, restaurant breakfast and dinner were excellent. The staff were very pleasant. Note: if you can not park in the handful of spots in front of the building you must park in a pay lot a few blocks away.

The property was clean, the rooms were nice, the staff was very friendly and extremely helpful, and the breakfast was amazing. I can’t comment about dinner because we didn’t eat there, but suspect they didn’t cut any corners there. The only issue, as others have mentioned, was parking. Since the hotel doesn’t own the space in front of the hotel, anyone can park there regardless of whether they are staying at the hotel. Worst case scenario you just have to park a little further away either with street parking or at one of the nearby parking lots. Definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Fint hotell men tyvärr ingen AC på rummet, bodde i ett rum för 4 men de två enkelsängarna hade så tunna madrasser att man kände fjädrarna igenom. På frukosten beställde vi ägg stekta på båda sidorna och fick efter 25 min in ägg stekta på ena sidan, i övrigt var frukosten god men servicen var tveksam.

I visited Skye as part of a small tour group and booked my own accommodations at The Bosville. I’m so glad I did! The Bosville is a cozy, boutique hotel right in the heart of Portree, making it walkable to all the stores, restaurants, etc. I had a “cozy double” room with a gorgeous view of Portree Harbor. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m on Skye.
