The room was ENORMOUS - not kidding, about 40 feet long - and also included a king-sized bed. It was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was pretty good, with a great harbour view. It was a pleasant stay, but the price was laughably high for what you get.
Overlooking Portree’s quaint harbour, this contemporary hotel serves fresh produce from Skye and the surrounding Scottish Highlands in its restaurant, Dulse & Brose.
In 15 acres of private grounds, this hotel boasts spectacular views over Portree Bay to the Cuillin Mountain range. It has an award-winning restaurant and a range of whiskies on offer.

The Distillery is a great option to stay while visiting the Highlands and going up north. It's a top choice to feel and breathe the nature while enjoying a very comfortable evening. It is a good idea to bring the car into the island if you can spare the time to tour around - just beware that you have to fit your schedule to the ferry timetables and it can be tricky on Sundays. Regarding meal options, also note that there could be no other options apart from the hotel ( we were here mid-May).

The location, walking, scenery is fantastic, distillery tour is interesting and whisky tasting is informative. Staff are friendly and informative.
The downstairs room (6) requires work, has no openable windows, no AC and has forced air ventilation which is noisy and can’t be switched off. Basin is set far too low for use and there is no hot water in the basin. No place to unpack clothes so if staying longer than one night, have to live out of your suitcase

Fab location, accommodation.
Fab location, accommodation. You need to make sure to plan your trip around the ferry times or you will not make it to the island. Great for all sorts of activities on the water and on the land. We biked it and although it was taxing (ver hilly) the views and wildlife spotting make it so worthwhile. We saw two golden eagles for example. 👍

We only stayed 1 night. We have arrived with the last ferry. After checking in, we had a drive on the island end-to-end. Spectacular and very beautiful (wild).
We didn't had dinner or breakfast (we left with the first ferry), so I can't speak for the food.

Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye.
Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye. Definitely more to explore than just the distillery. Some beautiful, but pretty hard going, walks / hikes with amazing views and hidden gems...like the tiny cave on the walk to Fladday. Get a good map and strong boots and enjoy.

Intended as a stop over before our ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy the following day, our short visit to Raasay House got our holiday off to a great start.
The friendly staff were very accommodating of a family travelling with a large dog! Everything about Raasay House had us wishing we had booked to stay for longer.
The 20 minute ferry crossing from Skye is well worth the spectacular views of the Cuillins of Skye from the lawn in front of the hotel and from the bar where we ate in the evening and the brasserie where we were served a delicious breakfast.
We LOVED it here! Such a gem! Fantastic facilities and rooms with great amenities. It’s a super special hotel as you’re not only staying at the distillery but there are only six rooms (currently). So it’s a wonderfully quiet/restful stay on a peaceful island…with whiskey! Also, pretty sure the chef is secretly Master Michelin chef. As most people leave the island on the last ferry, there was only us, the locals, and the Raasay crew at the bar-and talking to the people who stayed was a special memory for us. We’ll be back.
Loved the stunning scenery, the staff were amazing. Had a warm welcome, it was lovely to be taken to our room after checking in (not many hotels do this anymore, just asked to follow the signs)
The food was lovely and reasonably priced.
We loved walking around the premises taking in the breath taking views of the surrounding sea and mountains. My son loved feeding the cows and enjoyed the visit to the hotel garden/vegetable patch.
Would love return again.😊
A last minute decision when accommodations on Skye were unavailable. Great decision! The stay included a free tour of the distillery. We also booked dinner on site and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Lovely pastoral setting and water views. Our room looked newly decorated, clean and fresh, very comfortable. Breakfast was also quite tasty — cooked to order. Not suitable for guests with mobility issues.
So glad that we stayed at Rassay. The Hotel is beautiful with a garden full of flowers, vegetables and fruits. All the staff are so kind and generous. My family felt very pampered by Berry a staff at the island. Spent the whole day visiting the island, the castle and Calum’s road. A must stay when you are near Isle of Sky. Food at the restaurant was delicious. Best egg plant dish I ever had. Must try it.
Hotel is modern, new and beautifully decorated. The staff was very nice. I was impressed with the dinner because it was a fixed 6 meal course and all the dishes were worthy of a fine dining experience. They also gave me a tour to the distillery and explained the whiskey process. The tour is free/included with the stay.
I really loved my stay in this hotel.
The hotel is located on a beautiful island not far from the ferry so ideal for those travelling without a car. The views across to Skye were breathtaking and local walks were easily accessible. The hotel building has retained a lot of the original history ( we loved the very comfortable library!) but it is also modern and comfortable throughout.
Location is perfect, the room was comfortable and the views were amazing… we particularly liked the honesty bar and the residents lounge, again this was comfortable and the views were to die for. The distillery tour was informative and fun, Steve was the best tour guide. We would highly recommend the Isle of Raasay Distillery to everyone.
Beautiful hotel with very nice restaurants. Quite easy to access from ferry port in Raasay so no need to worry about mobility. The cute farm with many cows in front of the hotel is entertaining. The view of stars at night is absolutely fantastic. Whiskey distillery is right cross the street and wish I could check out.
Raasay House is in a beautiful and peaceful location with excellent views across to Skye and a tranquil kitchen garden to the rear. The rooms are a good size and are very comfortable. All the staff are helpful and friendly. Both the breakfast and evening meals are excellent and well presented.
Everything was perfect , the location ,view from our room was breathtaking, lovely to meet the director Lynn who was extremely hospitable and friendly , will definitely cexcepone back on my next trip to Scotland to try the water sports and adventure .
Amazing location with the best views of Skye. Great plan for a weekend getaway. Restaurant inside the distillery makes for the perfect pairing for a lovely dinner after a day off hiking and learning about Raasay whisky.
This place is amazing!
The food, staff, location, all the cute animals, everything. Even the staff working on the ferry are extremely kind.
If you go there, (which you should) go explore the island and its hikes.
Beautiful and unique hotel with great facilities and a wonderful view and grounds. Library, game room, tons of space in the room and all around. Excellent meals including good options for kids.
We were staying when the hotel was closed and as a result got upgraded to the biggest suite. The relationship with the distillery worked well to provide meals for guests in the closed hotel.
