“Nice little B&B within walking distance to Portree center”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

This B&B is within walking distance of Portree center. It's a nice little B&B. Elaine and Peter are excellent hosts. I had the best haggis (very spicy) for breakfast which will make me a haggis fan for life.

The rooms are very clean but maybe just a little bit tiny. Parking is a little tight but we survived.

Awesome restaurant called the Calledonian Cafe is nearby. Some nice pubs and tea rooms as well.

Portree is nice city but very busy with tourists during the summer months. We visited Dunvegan castle which was beautiful.

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2010

The guest house is well situated : it's 5 minutes walk to the center of Portree where you have restaurants, shops... It's quiet.

“fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

this bed and breakfast is probably the best we have stayed in. the rooms are lovely and if you ask for room 3 you get a sea view which is well worth it! the attention to detail is great and the cleanliness second to none!
the breakfasts are great with a fab choice and as you choose what you want the night before, it is ready for you when you arrive in the sunroom in the morning!
the location is great too with just a few mins walk into the centre of portree which means you are away from the noise and a fantastic sleep is guarranteed!
we will be back!

“Great stay at Meadowbank”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

person found this review helpful

Not long returned from a 2 night stay at the Meadowbank Guest House in Portree on the Isle of Skye. I have not stayed in many B&B's before as I usualy stop in hotels. But given the expensive hotel rates on Skye we opted for a moderate priced B&B in Portree.

Both Peter and Elaine run a superb facility here. They made us most welcome into their home. The rooms (1 x double in the main house) and (1 x twin the the annex) we suitably furnished and very very clean indeed. Both Elaine and Peter showed us to our rooms and explained how everthing (TV/Shower/Towel Rail etc) in the rooms worked. We were also given a breakfast menu to select the cooked items we wanted for the following morning which you leave in the hallway.

The breakfast is served in the conservatory and the food is superb. There is a slection of juices, cereals, fruit and yogurt. You also have the choice of tea and coffee, toast and cooked items including, bacon, your choice of eggs, sausage, haggis, black pudding, fruit pudding, mushrooms and tomatoes! If you manage to have if all you won't eat for the rest of the day!

My only negative comment about Meadowbank House is that you need to vacate your rooms between 10am and 5pm each day. It would have been beneficial for us if we could have returned by 3pm each day.

The guest house is moments walk from the centre of Portree where there are lots of hotels and resturants but beware, none of them have any outdoor seating which is very dissapointing as the weather was fantastic during our stay. We did however manage to find a beer garden at Marmalade.

Finally be sure to ask Peter and Elaine for resturant recommendations, they are more than happy to help you.
