4-Star Boutique Hotel Overlooking Portree Harbour
Property
The Bosville Hotel is a 4-star harbourside property in Portree, set within restored 19th-century cottages. It overlooks Portree Harbour and sits in the centre of the Isle of Skye's main town. The hotel has 19 rooms and houses the Dulse & Brose restaurant and the Merchant Bar.
Rooms
The hotel offers room types that include Small Double, Premiere Double, Classic Quadruple, and Family of 4 Room. Front-facing rooms have views over Portree village and the harbour. The Cottage, across from the main hotel, has a second-floor bedroom and a ground-floor bathroom connected by a spiral staircase.
Dining & Bar
At the Dulse & Brose restaurant, Skye produce and Scottish Highlands ingredients form the menu, with seafood and shellfish from the waters of the Minch reaching the plate within hours. The Merchant Bar serves malt whiskies, local spirits, and craft beers, and has fresh coffee by a real fire. Breakfast is served daily from 7.30 to 9.30 am, with guests choosing a time slot upon arrival.
Location
The hotel overlooks Portree Harbour and is a 5-minute walk from harbourside restaurants. Eagles can be spotted on Ben Tianavaig, a large hill within a 5-minute drive, and The Fairy Pools, Neist Point Lighthouse, and the Old Man of Storr are within reach for day trips. The hotel has no on-site parking; guests use nearby street parking or Bayfield car park.
Family & Services
The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, laundry services, and a safety deposit box. Family accommodation includes the Family of 4 Room with one large bed and two chairs that fold out into singles, and The Cottage across from the main hotel. A minimarket on site sells essentials, and the Dulse & Brose restaurant offers vegetarian options.

“This is a hotel that understands its appeal: a warm, quintessential Scottish feel blended with comfortable, well-appointed rooms, many with lovely harbour views. The food, particularly breakfast and dinner, is consistently lauded, making it a definite draw for guests. While parking and navigating the older building present challenges, the genuine friendliness of the staff and the overall inviting atmosphere largely compensate.”
