The Rosedale - Portree

We went here for dinner. I think from the outside it doesn 't look very appealing but inside I really liked it, it 's cosy. The view from the Restaurant is really nice, that 's certainly something special in Portree. Food was fresh but still quite average and definitely expensive. The service was good, but not overly friendly. (I heard the waitress gossiping about other guests which from my POV is a no go .

It's not a bad hotel, but it could use vast improvements. I stayed one night. Long review ahead... Staff Service: Accommodating and lovely. They deserve five stars, but the hotel itself does not. Location: Right along the water. Great views (from the restaurant). Food: The breakfast was overcooked. Not good when I needed a steak knife to cut my eggs and hash-brown. Hotel: A very trusting hotel. No outside doors are locked overnight, so anyone could wander in. I assume there are no homeless drunks in Portree because where I'm from, there would homeless sleeping in the hallways. Room: Stayed in the Partial View room, and is overpriced. Unless you enjoy the view of parked cars, noise, an outdated bathroom and missing furniture. WARNING: Room is next to both restaurant and outside doors. If you enjoy doors slamming all night and people talking outside your room, then book it. Hotel was fully booked, so I had no choice. The furniture is mismatched. Combination of Ikea and cheap antique furniture. Bed was tough. No fridge, desk or table, and so cannot eat drink tea. Must book their restaurant (if you can) or use drying rack as a table. Don't expect milk. Bathroom should be gutted: bathroom door doesn't lock (even though there is one), shower-head is broken and sprays everywhere, ceiling paint is chipping, shower handle peeling off, and hot water takes a few (4-5) mins to run.

Restaurant review The restaurant is lovely, nice selection of seasonal food and plenty of options in terms of drinks. The main bartender greeted us and apologised as he was the only one working tonight as the other waiter had phoned in sick. Honestly, couldn't tell the difference he was superb and had such a cheery attitude it made the evening just that much better. Would definitely come back for the food and the service.

Our favorite stay in the UK by far! The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious with phenomenal views. It was a perfect stay in the centre of Portree during our visit to Isle of Skye. Above all else, I cannot rave more about the service from the team at the Rosedale. Pieter and Dawn went above and beyond our expectations in the care they provided during our stay. From taking special care of our little one, having a high chair ready to go for us at breakfast, lovely conversations to keeping the bar section's lights on later so that I would get some work done, we were so well looked after. Without a doubt, we will be back!

We had dinner here on our honeymoon. Beautiful view of the Portree harbor, wonderful staff, and delicious food.
