Still dreaming of our stay at The Bosville! We (family of three) stayed in The Cottage, directly across from the main hotel/restaurant, it was so lovely, spacious, and a welcome retreat from our busy hotel in Edinburgh. The check in process was simple and met with a welcoming hostess! Our breakfast each day was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. I thought this was going to be a bit of a splurge hotel but it was 100% worth the cost, I will definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Portree.
For the money and location, the room was decent. However, the walls are paper thin and you hear everything through the walls from a block away from your room to the stairwell. Don’t stay here if you intend on getting any sleep. Other than that, the staff was impeccable. The food was good.
Location great! Hotel itself is definitely nothing special. Hallways very narrow, dark and dirty. Walls very thin. We faced the street directly over the bar so was very noisy. In the USA this would be equivalent to a 2 star, 3 star max. Breakfast in adjoining restaurant was very clean and very good. Great service at restaurant. Parking terrible- Has 7 spots total first come first serve. Otherwise have to park a few blocks away and hall your luggage through town and pay to park. Definitely not work the $500/night! Very overpriced for midweek.

Reviews
The Bosville Hotel in Portree offers a mix of positive and negative experiences according to reviews. While some guests appreciated the central location, excellent restaurant & bar, lovely bedrooms with small details like tea/coffee machines and locally made toiletries, others found drawbacks such as noise from the street or music below rooms, thin walls leading to disturbances, and lackluster service from receptionists. The hotel is noted for its old-world charm across three combined buildings but may need updates in certain areas like room maintenance and quality of mattresses.

We had an excellent three days at the Bosville while exploring Skye. The Family of 4 room was plenty of space and extremely quiet. There is one large bed and two chairs that fold out into singles. I wouldn’t recommend the fold-puts for adults. It seems to be in the back of the hotel away from the street and bar/restaurant noise. The staff was very kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Breakfast is excellent, as is the dinner if you choose to reserve a table there in the evening. As others have mentioned, parking is a limited and not reserved. However, we always managed to snag a space when returning in the evening. This place is in the heart of Portree and you can walk anywhere in town easily. Would definitely return.
My favourite hotel on Skye (but I have never stayed anywhere else because I keep coming back)! Nice rooms: good size, well appointed, larger than normal shower, excellent breakfast. Most importantly, the staff is kind and attentive.
