Murdo was the best host you could ask for! He was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us plot our day on the Isle of Skye which made it easy for us to see everything on our list. But, the jewel of this place is the food. Scott is AMAZING! The food was next level, so elegant and delicious.

No notes. Thrilled with our stay!

Beautiful hotel with exceptional views in a fantastic location, just a few minutes walk from the center of town. The chef created a 5-star dining experience and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable. They provided off-the-beaten-path recommendations that made our experience on Skye so much more fun and memorable. They even provided recommendations for where to stop along our route to Glasgow after our stay. Truly a wonderful experience here!

The only thing I would have liked would be a flat sheet in between the duvet when I got hot. I did appreciate the fan in the room when I did.

Every detail about the hotel was planned out and designed carefully. The hotel has only been open since 2019 but you walk in and everything is perfectly and meticulously clean. The owners have been in the hotel business for years and their son is the chef. 4 well appointed rooms in this hotel with a beautiful soaking tub in our room, balcony overlooking the water and a beautiful shower. We were welcomed with a shot of whisky and our breakfast and dinner is worthy for a five star star hotel. The chef has worked as a sous chef at a few Michelin restaurants for several years. This is the place for any foodies who can appreciate the time and intentionality that goes into the preparation of each meal with care. Extensive wine, rich desserts and creative and inventive menu sourced with local food and sources. The best place to stay in town if you love to be pampered. The price per night is definitely on the higher side in town. It is worth every penny. I am a world traveler, foodie and it is evident the owners treat each guest with exceptional service and care. There is no other place I will stay when I return to Portree. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

Murdo the host is so nice, friendly and super helpful with great tips about Isle of Skye and other parts of Scotland. Scott who is the chef, cooks spectacular food!! I highly recommend the Taransay House!

Nothing to say; nothing to not like.

The service was friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond. The cuisine was unimaginably fantastic. We'll never forget Taransay House.

We weren't allowed to share a night cap with our friends. It created an awkward moment for all 4 of us. It felt like Mom telling us to go to our rooms. (We are a very quiet and respectful group) The facility does not have a community toilet. Before check-in, my wife had to go all the way to town to use the facilities.

Very clean and appealing venue. Well above average modern conveniences (Shower, USB, etc.). Fun dining atmosphere and excellent cuisine.

We loved every aspect of Taransay House from the room to the service to the food. It was all amazing. The hosts were very knowledgeable of the local area and provided great insights into the best places to visit. We could not recommend this place any more.

Kind and helpful hosts took outmost care of their guests. Murdo is extremely well versed with the region and advised us with an itinerary during our stay. Scott is a talented chef who made delicious vegetarian meals for us.

the stay was too short

This 4 room hotel that includes breakfast and dinner is one of the best Hotels i've ever stayed in. For comparison purposes I've stayed at the Hassler in Rome, the St Regis in NYC and numerous Four Seasons and Ritz Carltons across Europe. the food is killer and there is nothing Murdo who runs Taransay with his son will not do for you.

There is nothing that I did not like.

If you are not staying at Taransay House while in Portree, you are truly missing out! The location is absolutely spectacular. The food was out of this world and the service was even better. My friend and I enjoyed our stay and would would book again if I ever find myself in Portree again.

Amazing contemporary property with views of the water. Interior is in excellent condition and has every amenity you could possibly want. A super king bed with large sitting area, roomy shower in bathroom with a soaking tub. Breakfast and Dinner was included with our stay. Many thanks to Chef Scott for 3 exceptional breakfasts and dinners that rival any Michelin star restaurant. All prepared with locally sourced. Thanks also to Murdo for all the best walking trails on Skye to fantastic service and great coffee. We loved all our chats. Can say enough good things about Taransay House. Truly an exceptional place to spend a few days on the beautiful Isle of Skye.
