Our stay was overall good. I keep seeing reviews that complain that the room was too small, but it was plenty big for 2 people. The bed was super comfy, we had a great view of Portree, and it’s walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants. Our complaints were the mold in the bathroom which I assume is just part of it being an older building, and the inconvenient outlets in the room.

This was the perfect place to stay in Skye , the room was spotless and up to a very high standard with a view that must be one of the best in Skye , check in and out was as easy you could want with a free parking space provided, I would give it a 10 .

This spot was absolutely perfect. Hotel is well looked after and checking in was a breeze. The room had an excellent view and everything you could possibly need. Beds were particularly comfortable. I was concerned about being on the first floor with 2 large suitcases, but was delighted to see it was only a short flight of stairs. We had a rental car and there was always a spot out front for when we came and went. Couldn’t have been more seamless. This spot is an absolute gem.

I stayed in a single room. It was clean, comfortable and warm. It was quite compact but fine for one person. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room and a TV. The bathroom was clean and it had a good shower. The location is brilliant with a lovely view down over the harbour, though my room didn't have a view. There are loads of places to eat. Communication was excellent including checking that everything was ok, and informing me of a planned power outage by the electricity company.
I'd be happy to stay there again.

Our room was small, but clean and perfect for two people. The room we had had a full size bed and two bunkbeds. It would be Extremely cozy with four people. Parking was available across the street. If that was full, the offsite parking was just a 5 to 8 minute walk back to your hotel.

Amazing
4.0 / 10.0
We had a tiny room which has seen better days, and the bathroom was so small that it lacked a separate sink. The sink was on top of the toilet cistern, something we'd never seen before - not easy or pleasant to use. There was no staff on site. No breakfast. Very expensive for what it is. The kindest thing I can say is that it is in an excellent location. Someone is making a fortune out of very sub-standard accommodatoin.

Minimalist room (we knew that in advance) a little bit overpriced considering it doesn't offer breakfast, but central and in a nice position with a cool view. The bed was comfy, the sink over the toilet was quite peculiar

Absolutely amazing island and the hotel was superb. Only gave it a 3 for service because it's self check in so didn't actually see anyone lol. But very clean and easily the best hotel bed I've ever slept in so comfortable and the views from the room are also excellent! Will be back!!!

The views from the property are second to none. Cleanliness is excellent, communication good and all staff pleasant and friendly. The only downside is the size of the rooms, they are tiny, as are the ensuites. Also, as there are no communal rooms or kitchen facilities, a small fridge in the room would have been handy.

If you book with Coolin House, you’ll be so lucky! I was a solo female traveler and I feel safe at these accommodations. There was clear directions on expectations, they checked in with me upon checking and later to make sure all was well. My stay included a Sunday where most places to eat were closed yet directly next door, there is a Chinese restaurant as well as a co-op very close by. The hot water lasted a while which was needed after a long day of hiking! Great views, pricing and location in proximity to all areas. Book with confidence.

While we were there the power went out and I was unable to use my Cpap. I was made aware that due to the nature of this being an island that power outages were common.
The room was really small and the stairs were tricky to navigate. The view was amazing, though.

We really enjoyed being able to stay as part of the community and not in a big box hotel.
Our room was as advertised and had a beautiful view of the harbour. There was ample storage with the deep window well and the closet.
The washroom was quite clean--just those corners that can only be seen from inside the shower seem to be missed (as was mentioned in other reviews).
The bed and linens were very comfortable and furniture was lovely (seemed newer and fit the space well)
The carpeting in the room needs to be changed, as does the carpeting in the common areas, however it seemed as clean as it could be.
Parking was easy and on the night we missed a space we found one on the side street without issue. We really enjoyed being able to walk to cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shops once we were parked for the night.
I noticed the fresh flowers in the entrance--that was a nice touch.
Check in and out was easy--and the cleaners we bumped into seemed friendly and professional.
We would certainly consider this location if we return to Portree.

Great view, room was tiny and the bathroom felt like being in our RV at home. Staff was very nice but the room was just too small for comfort.

Very hands off, never saw a person who managed this property, however they were responsive by email, and I don't necessarily need to be greeted. Clean, comfortable, easy to self-check in. My primary frustration was that there was no advance notice that we should make dinner reservations if we wanted to eat dinner anywhere other than the grocery store. We arrived somewhat late, walked the whole town, and evey place to eat had a sign saying no walk-ins. Would have preferred to eat a hot meal at a restaurant. Portree hike/walk starting around the corner was really nice.

It is very close to transportation and the inner city sights are easily accessed within walking distance.

Got a room, that was about 72 sq ft (about 9 sq meter) Bed booked as „twin“ for two adults, but bed was close to 5 ft/1,4m wide only). Not acceptable! Room to small to place and open luggage, either place luggage on bed or keep it close.... No regular sink in bathroom. No staff available upon check-in, only second day.
Property small, old - but well kept and romantik for most rooms. Just not for ours.....

Lovely place to stay, very clean and central location with great view, our room was on the small size but I was grateful to get in, other rooms in the property were a generous size, I would definately stay here again. Parking easy and near to property.

The room we were allocated by Expedia should be for single occupation only as a double bed in a room 3 metres square left no space for basic furniture such as a chest of drawers or a chair. The bathroom was no bigger than a broom cupboard and the wash basin was built into the top of the lavatory cistern and useless. The heated towel rail was hanging off the wall and unsafe to use.
10.0 / 10.0
Very good location to stay at! We appreciated the warning that you should pre-book restaurants days in advance. If driving a small car, be careful of the parking as you need to drive over a small curb. Great stay overall.

The guest house was perfectly situated in Portree. The room was lovely with a nice sea view. The check in/out process was really smooth as the host were very accommodating

We did not know this is un-attended studio rooms. When we arrived, there was unnamed envelope left without our name on it, and, anyone could have grabbed the keys and security could have been breached. The room did not have any surface to place our stuff or any chair to sit on. The ambiguous wording of the steam from the shower triggering the smoke detector right 2 feet away from the bathroom door was true. Some insensitive guests set off the alarm at around 6 am. And, even before that the creaking floor sound upstairs already woke us up. Zero-interaction and zero-responsible staff. The parking was nothing but a sidewalk, too shallow to park a small SUV, and the hotel had put bins in the parking space to make our parking impossible. And, they were all on the blind curve road with lots of risk. NO clear direction to the City Car Park given at all. Very stingy, and, amateurish operation. Overpriced for what you get. Barebones all the way. We felt deceived.
