“A Very Special Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

people found this review helpful

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 friendly (including wine or drinks infront of the fire before dinner....thank you Roddy... along with quiet conversation), interesting choices of traditional fare on the menu if one chooses to dine in the handsome dinning room by candle light, and each bedroom...be it baronial Victorian or quiet
Georgian....is well planned and comfortable. Hugh MacDonald has a wealth of knowledge about Skye, and is a thoughtful and considerate host. This is a very
special place.

Room Tip: The rooms on the front over look the lawns and the town....some are large and very Victorian... som...

“Wonderful, wonderful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

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 the staff were super friendly and the room was spotless. Will definitely go back!

“Charmingly different”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

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 the drive, we could walk easily into town, and then easily venture further afield by bus for walking. As others have pointed out, whisky by the log fire is a big plus point, and there's an awful lot of dead animals about the place - including an elephant foot umbrella stand and a sheep's head on casters. But they've been part of the furniture since the 19th century.

“Viewfield House--I love Harry!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

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 our time at VH over the top!! We hope to come back and spend lovely evenings in the drawing room conversing with fellow guests. A special visit for us.

“Interesting lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

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.
