Throughly enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable room with large bay window overlooking the garden, complete with brass bed, turkey carpets and lovely antiques. Everything is well appointed, replete with mementoes from days of yore, details of which the proprietor is more than willing to divulge, if you're interested. There's a full range of choice for breakfast as well as... More

Really enjoyed this little hotel. Once a private residence, it's full of beautiful antiques & architecture. Rooms are updated just enough to provide all the amenities without losing it's charm (loved those cookies). Breakfast is excellent & filling with great service by staff who are happy to suggest local attractions & help you get there. The owner (descendant of the... More

From the moment Hugh MacDonald greeted us at the door of this marvelous and unique large country house over looking the town of Portree,until we took our leave four nights later, we felt as if we had stepped back into time. The house is beautifully furnished with out being prententious (full of good books and family momentos),the sevice excellent and... More

I had the most wonderful stay at Viewfield House. The house is only a very short walk outside of Portree, about 10 minutes if you're slow. The hous itself is lovely and there are nice walks available in the surroundings. The view over the water is gorgeous. The food was good, and afternoon tea by the fireplace was divine. All... More

Lovely old house, very comfortable, clean and well kept, excellent staff. They manage to create a relaxed atmosphere, like staying in a home not a hotel. Excellent breakfasts, good dinner of quality home cooking, with huge portions, and good wine. Great spot if you are, like us, travelling without a car - the bus dropped us at the end of... More

This is an excellent property. Staff are helpful without being intrusive. Our room was very large and full of interesting objects. Breakfast and dinner very plentiful and well done. Hugh MacDonald is an excellent, cosmopolitan host. Roddy, Hugh's #1 person is delightful and ready to make your time with them enjoyable. Hugh's terrier, Harry, for terrier lovers like us, put...

A nice old manse, very pleasant, warm and old world. Comfortable bed and bath and a good chef. Breakfast and a dinner were good. The chef does a great pecan pie! Only complaint was Internet charge was one pound an hour which was unbelievable. But the washer and dryer made it all worth it. More

We hated to leave Viewfield House, it was so beautiful there. There is no lift but there are people to carry your luggage for you. Hugh MacDonald is a gracious and helpful host; he mapped out a wonderful scenic route for our drive to Dunvegan. We were lucky to be there during good weather, but wouldn't have minded just hanging... More
