Didn't stay in this B&B but it is important to say that the owner saw me with a group of 3 friends taking pictures from the sea (Portree with its colorful houses) just in front of her parking and was very rude asking us to stop. I never saw something like this since we were not touching any car there... More

In the midst of a hectic trip from Ireland to London, our family stayed at Coolin View for two nights. Our host, Ruth, was friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable, and the room sizes typical of what you find in Europe. Since there were six of us, we occupied three rooms, all facing the bay with spectacular views of... More

I didn't stay at this establishment but simply tried to take some photographs of the Bay from their parking area (which overlooks the Bay). I didn't touch anything or get in the way at any time. A woman from inside the building (who I assumed to be the owner) roared at me about my not being able to read and... More

As the owner of the Coolin View I am deeply distressed at the review left by this reviewer as he did not stay at the guest house. Because Coolin View Guest House has a stunning view of the harbour, visitors often stop and ask if they can take photographs from the car park area to the front of the guest... More

Room was lovely, comfortable and cosy and I was looking forward to a pre-ordered breakfast - unfortunately this was really quite poor. As soon as I sat down my breakfast was served by the cook but "warm" rather than piping hot. Luke warm beans, slightly raw mushrooms, poor quality sausages and what can only be described as warm bread rather... More

I stayed at the Coolin View whilst working in Portree and was really happy with all aspects of my stay. The rooms were very clean and cosy and warm and the lady who greeted us was so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The place itself is really central so perfect if you want to have a wander about Portree.... More

Ruth and Mila were great hosts. Our room was clean with a spectacular view. The Coolin View was the perfect location to explore Skye.

I stayed here with a friend of mine as we were travelling around Scotland on a photography assignment and I have to say of all the b&b's we stayed in this was by far the best. Ruth totally took care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. If you are going to be staying... More

We turned up quite late but Ruth welcomed us so well. Then gave us good local advice for dinner. We were in Skye taking pictures and explained that breakfast times didn't work for us as we were up early for sunrise. Ruth offered to come in specially later on (after we got back) in order to make sure we had... More

Stayed here for couple of days with family. Very friendly owners. Our room was clean and very homely. The view over the harbour was to die for.Our room was spotless. Couldn't fault it at all. The breakfasts were well cooked and everything you would expect to get at a wonderful B&B. Only drawback was that our stay was so short.... More
