We spent one night here having originally booked in at Marmalade, another in the group. This hotel is facing the sea and has a good bistro and another restaurant attached. Our room was at the front, a superior double ( an upgrade for the inconvenience of having been moved ) and very comfortable it was too. The staff were all... More

Had all the amenities of a big hotel, but the character and friendliness of a small one. We ended up extending our stay by a few days we liked this place so much. They were so gracious to our family with small children. Great central location in Portree and easy to explore Skye from here. We will come back in... More

We stayed at the Bosville Hotel in Portree for 2 nights and had a fantastic time. Rooms were good and service excellent. The restaurant was the highlight of our visit since the food was fantastic - a great menu and beautifully cooked and presented. A great place as a base for exploring skye. We will be back!

We stayed at the Bosville for 3 nights and were very happy with the location, room, cleanliness and staff. The location is right in the middle of Portree and couldn't get much better to be honest. The bus station, police station, restaurants, harbour, shops, co-op are all just outside. The room and bathroom were both very spacious and clean and... More

We stayed in Bosville Hotel for 1 night and that was enough. The room was small, and so was the bed. Even worse, we felt the springs in the matras all the time. Did not sleep well. The bar looks good, but did not enjoy the staff. Breakfast was good, no complains about either the food or staff.

Hello and thank you for posting a review on Trip Advisor. I am sorry that you found the room and bed to be too small - all our beds (apart from singles) are large doubles or King sized beds and have been replaced in the last two years. I do know that some hotels offer super King sized beds, but... More

Bosville lies very near everything in Portree (Portree are quite small anyway). The service are really good in the reception, the rooms are spacious but the lack of things drags it down. Amenities, few towels and we got a room were the TV was miles from the bed so there were no point in having one. The hotel also have... More

Thank you for writing a review, we use all feedback to improve the service we offer. Several of the rooms are very large, and the TV's I am sure could be brought closer to the beds should you find it difficult to see them. Our bar normally closes at around 11.30, sometimes later, in line with the other pubs in... More

Enjoyed our stay in this mix of traditional and modern hotel. The hotel in clean and well kept, bedrooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. Beds are comfy and it is possible to have a good night's sleep even at the front of the hotel. However, walls are thin and it is possible to hear your neighbour's conversations. Plenty of choice...

We'd expected something better from the other reviews of this hotel. It was not actively bad but the décor was uninspiring, our room was small and hot, the bed was not great, the tv and chairs were not really meant for sitting/viewing, the bathroom was not well arranged and we found it noisy.
