Marmalade Hotel Shortlist*
Portree, Highland
Good Hotel Guide Review
Overlooking the beautiful harbour town, an Edwardian country house in landscaped gardens with a sleekly modern interior. Skye-crafted natural fabrics, in soft greys and heathered mustards, feature alongside local materials and artwork. Bedrooms vary in size, but most look over the garden, the bay, the Cuillin hills beyond; extra touches: a sound system, capsule coffee machine, luxury toiletries. Large period windows in the coolly contemporary restaurant give far-reaching views. Local specialities include a traditional chargrill; fresh oysters delivered daily. The bar opens on to a patio overlooking the bay. Breakfast includes porridge with cream, brown sugar, perhaps whisky, followed by a full Scottish. Marmalade is part of the Perle Hotels group.
