A really lovely little hotel, fabulously friendly staff. The food was really good, probably one of the best crumbles of my life. Breakfast is included in the room price, and I once again enjoyed it. We were even given a small homemade keychain when we left. Thanks again!

I had the most incredible, magical 4-night stay at Atholl house. Jenny and her team were all immensely warm and friendly, helping with everything from hiking tips to takeaway breakfasts. The rooms and linens were well-decorated and immaculately cleaned (and this is coming from someone who looks closely). Their commitment to sustainability is apparent in everything they do, without compromising on guest experience, using eco-friendly paper products and sourcing food and drinks from local producers. Be sure to eat there; the food was some of the best I’ve had during my time in Scotland! Relaxing by the fire in the lounge with a good book and a glass of wine also was a joy during the rain.They’re also very conveniently located, such that all my hikes were within an hours drive.A huge thank you to Atholl for making my time on Skye so magical!

We stayed at Atholl House for three nights on our adventure through Scotland and I can confidently say it was our favorite spot. It is easy to see that a lot of thoughtfulness and love has gone into this place. We booked the King bedroom and were beyond pleased with the room - the bed was very comfortable. Not pictured was the vanity situated in a corner of the room which was perfect for getting ready each day before our exploring of Skye.We’re big foodies and the food here was some of the best we had on our entire trip. If you’re thinking of making a dinner reservation - do it ! From breakfast to dinner everything was delicious and made with care.Jenny and her team have created something very special with Atholl House. Their goal is for it to feel like a home away from home - I definitely think they’ve accomplished it. Anyone would be lucky to snag a reservation at Atholl House!

First of all, the owners have the basics dead right. We had a comfortable, thoughtfully furnished bedroom and an absolutely spotless bathroom. The breakfasts and dinners were excellent. …

We spent 4 weeks traveling around Scotland and stayed in either B&Bs or apartments or cottages and I have to say that we were actually disappointed with this house. At £180 a night, the room was both the most expensive and the smallest. The price/performance ratio was the least good here.However, we were received very friendly. There are no complaints here. But £180 for such a small room is definitely overpriced.

We didn't stay here but were camping nearby on a cold evening. Popped in for a cup of tea and we were delighted with the cosy, serene living room, friendly owner who was lovely with our dog, and had a relaxing couple of hours here.

We enjoyed our visit to Isle of Skye and a huge part of that is staying at Atholl House. Very friendly employees, kind and considerate. They really get to know you. The breakfast is excellent with plenty of choice and good coffee/tea. …

Stopped here to eat after hiking and driving around the isle. The food was amazing with great service and a quaint location looking out onto the water. While waiting to be seated, you can relax in the front room, play games, or talk. While we did not stay here overnight, I would highly recommend the food and plan to return some day to stay and relax.

This place is charming! The meals are so delicious and the people who run it are lovely. Isle of Skye books out months in advance in the summer months so we were completely out of luck for August when the lady who runs this place reached out to offer the staff chalet behind this house for us to stay in. It was a charming stay and we used the house for delicious meals as well, and received great local recommendations. Highly recommend!

As semi locals, we always enjoy calling into Atholl House for coffee and the great selection of cakes. We also try to fit in a platter night on our regular visits. …

We were only there for dinner. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Small, selected menu, every dish with homemade and regional references.
