Having been brought up in Portree I have been used to low expectations as far as eating out is concerned locally. On a recent trip to visit family we went out to Well Plaid at the Royal Hotel.

Cannot think of what more to expect from a hotel in Portree. The welcome was warm, the room ample and spotless, and the restaurant meal excellent. I overheard another couple praising their meal too. This is our second stay and we found it reliably good, and our meals excellent. We will stay again.
