    Room and bed were very small - we could barely fit our suitcases in… :-D

    Isle of Raasay is beautiful and definitely worth the ferry ride. It‘s a great way to combine an overnight stay with a whisky tasting and distillery tour. The 3-course dinner menu at the hotel restaurant as well as the breakfast were delicious. We stayed in room 5 which I guess is the smallest but it has all what‘s required for a short stopover… The tasting and distillery tour is for obernight guests free, which we did’t know at first but the hotel refunded the prebooked tours… the staff and tour guide were very passionate and friendly. It was a hreat experience! We would recommend it to everyone travelling around isle of skye…

    Dinner was compromised by a large group enjoying a whiskey tasting, not offensive just odd as there was not enough room. (do not trust a sat nav- check on a map if travelling from Glasgow)

    Great location, great staff.

    There isn't anything to dislike.

    The location is spectacular, with views over the estuary. The welcome was so friendly and the rooms incredibly comfortable and luxurious. The complimentary whisky went down a treat. Anything you needed, you just had to ask. The food...sublime! Possibly the best meal we've ever had, served by a very courteous and knowledgeable young man. We enjoyed every second of our stay!

    check out is on the earlier side but only by a bit.

    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.

    No one stays on the property overnight if there’s an emergency

    The view is absolutely breathtaking Waking up every morning to those mountains was so peaceful. It was some of the best food I had the whole vacation! Cocktails too! And the staff were so kind and accommodating. Even marking out trails for us to hike.

    The staff were very nice to us - special shout out to "Mama Joe" - a fluent french speaker- who did to us the Distillery tour and made it so interesting. The tour is included in the stay by the way so don't hesitate to do it. The place was very clean and welcoming in every way, the breakfast was good and the establishment has the best view on the sea separating it from Skye, where we had the chance to see some Dolphins. The price is a little high but we 100% recommand it as it was the best place we stayed in during our Scottish trip.

    Remember that no alcohol, even shop sales can't be done before 10am so if leaving early get your bottles beforehand especially if not sold elsewhere.

    The single bed for 2 person is too small, if you are traveling with friend, it can be a bit uncomfortable as the room itself is quite small.

    Cosy and chill place to stay. When you walk-in, it feel like home or a home away from home. Staff are very friendly, helpful and supportive.

    Room has no AC, and it’s much needed in the summer months. Sound insulation in the rooms is weak. We could literally hear our neighbors in the next rooms…

    Bed on casters wasn't fixed so a bit annoying putting on rubber blocks. Pity dinner is restricted to weekends if accomodation is available through the week, at least a limited menu should be on offer. These are minor feedback comments overall though.

    Excellent breakfast. Location and accomodation super. Relaxing. Staff very helpful. Free dram in room was a nice touch

    Staying in Raasay is interesting, the hotel is beautiful but pay attention to the ferry schedule! It had implications on the schedule I would suggest serving breakfast half an hour earlier so the visitors can enjoy it fully yet able to catch the 08:55 ferry

    At first I hadn't realized that the hotel is not at Skye but on another island, which requires a ferry . It made me so nervous that I almost booked another hotel. Thank god, nothing else was available. Raasay and the Distillery is one of the best places we ever stayed in! The hotel is beautiful! Charming and warm. The view from our room was breathtaking, the room was modern and beautifully furnished. Staying on an isolated island is an amazing experience. We met a few members of the team and they were all super friendly, welcoming and had a lot of patience for our endless questions about the isle, the habitants, the roads, the sights, etc. I wish we had time to stay longer. Breakfast was very good, tasty and assorted. The restaurant has a huge glass window facing the sea. The scenery is so beautiful that we couldn't care less about the food :-)

    my stay was perfect!

    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.
