Stayed here for 3 nights (Room No. 1 top of stairs) for part of a honeymoon from Ireland. We had an amazing time here. We had the perfect location to go out and see the Isle of Skye. …

Actually, probably our favorite hotel of our three week visit to Scotland. It was comfortable, attractively appointed and well maintained, and just a few minutes walk from Portree Square. …

This hotel has a modest, if not ordinary, appearance on the outside but is very impressive on the inside. The staff, especially Kim and Katy, were most helpful. We also enjoyed the view out back which was a little garden area overlooking Portree. Be aware that restaurant reservations need to be made due to limited amount of tables. Amazing breakfast! This little boutique hotel is a great example of not needing to be a huge hotel to be a first class hotel. It's also within walking distance to most anything in town.

Although they were short staff, the rest were great. The hotel is mostly new and well built. No shortcuts that I encountered. Breakfast, included, is well done. The dinner menu isn’t broad, but that appears to be normal in the Isle of Skye. It’s a five minute walk from downtown. Good job

Great location and very comfortable bed and pillows. We especially enjoyed the breakfast with so many choices as well as the wonderful dinner at Chargrill. Also, the bar had amazing drink recipes! The staff were very kind and helpful too. It was like being home away from home.

The Marmalade was the perfect place for my daughter and me. We were safe and comfortable. Our room was a perfect size for two people. We loved sleeping with the window open listening to the Scottish owls at night!  …
