This small, friendly hotel overlooking the waterfront in bustling Portree is made up on three 19th-century cottages. The 20 rooms are bright and contemporary, dove grey tongue and groove, burnt orange throws and peaty grey cushions from Skye Weavers, local Lenz ceramics and black and white artwork giving a nod to the island’s dramatic landscape; book one at the front for a harbour view. Downstairs there’s a lively bar and restaurant showcasing local produce.
