It was brilliant! The whole place is really beautiful with stunning views! The rooms are clean, cosy, and with soft pillows and beds. Every nook and cranny has a thoughtful touch. And the service was really good. Paul and Mairi were so accommodating and friendly. Our stay was definitely relaxing.

Great location by the water, overlooking Raasay… the cabins are cosy, tastefully appointed and have everything you need - a lovely wee home away from home. There is a separate, well equipped laundry for guests to use. It’s an easy drive to Portree - 20 mins.

The Distillery is a great option to stay while visiting the Highlands and going up north. It's a top choice to feel and breathe the nature while enjoying a very comfortable evening. It is a good idea to bring the car into the island if you can spare the time to tour around - just beware that you have to fit your schedule to the ferry timetables and it can be tricky on Sundays. Regarding meal options, also note that there could be no other options apart from the hotel ( we were here mid-May).

The location, walking, scenery is fantastic, distillery tour is interesting and whisky tasting is informative. Staff are friendly and informative.
The downstairs room (6) requires work, has no openable windows, no AC and has forced air ventilation which is noisy and can’t be switched off. Basin is set far too low for use and there is no hot water in the basin. No place to unpack clothes so if staying longer than one night, have to live out of your suitcase

Fab location, accommodation.
Fab location, accommodation. You need to make sure to plan your trip around the ferry times or you will not make it to the island. Great for all sorts of activities on the water and on the land. We biked it and although it was taxing (ver hilly) the views and wildlife spotting make it so worthwhile. We saw two golden eagles for example. 👍

We only stayed 1 night. We have arrived with the last ferry. After checking in, we had a drive on the island end-to-end. Spectacular and very beautiful (wild).
We didn't had dinner or breakfast (we left with the first ferry), so I can't speak for the food.

Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye.
Raasay is like a rougher round the edges version of Skye. Definitely more to explore than just the distillery. Some beautiful, but pretty hard going, walks / hikes with amazing views and hidden gems...like the tiny cave on the walk to Fladday. Get a good map and strong boots and enjoy.

Intended as a stop over before our ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy the following day, our short visit to Raasay House got our holiday off to a great start.
The friendly staff were very accommodating of a family travelling with a large dog! Everything about Raasay House had us wishing we had booked to stay for longer.
The 20 minute ferry crossing from Skye is well worth the spectacular views of the Cuillins of Skye from the lawn in front of the hotel and from the bar where we ate in the evening and the brasserie where we were served a delicious breakfast.
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.
We were fortunate to be upgraded to a room which overlooked (from a distance) the mountains of Skye and the ferry port. Beautiful view when the sun shone but the weather was variable and at times quite wet.
Interesting island with limited road access but enjoyed our expedition north and drove the length of Callum's Road. Find out about it and experience the trip for yourself, but your car will require good ground clearance.
Food very good both in the Hotel and the Distillery but not inexpensive.
Raasay House Hotel is a fantastic place to stay. All the staff are warm and friendly and would do anything for you. Our room was clean and spacious and just what we had been looking for. The activities on offer are amazing and great value for money. The food was fresh and tasty and very enjoyable. Overall this was an amazing stay at a brilliant property on a beautiful Scottish island. I would 100% recommend anyone staying here and getting out and about to discover the Isle of Raasay.
A last minute decision when accommodations on Skye were unavailable. Great decision! The stay included a free tour of the distillery. We also booked dinner on site and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Lovely pastoral setting and water views. Our room looked newly decorated, clean and fresh, very comfortable. Breakfast was also quite tasty — cooked to order. Not suitable for guests with mobility issues.
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.
Location is perfect, the room was comfortable and the views were amazing… we particularly liked the honesty bar and the residents lounge, again this was comfortable and the views were to die for. The distillery tour was informative and fun, Steve was the best tour guide. We would highly recommend the Isle of Raasay Distillery to everyone.
Lovely building in fantastic location with awesome views of Skye.
Great views of skye from dining room but obviously these tables with views at breakfast are only available to certain guests !
It very much seems the management have limited experience in providing decent accommodation and service expected from this type of hotel.
We had a brilliant room overlooking the water and gardens and there was enough space for our 2 boys as well. Beds very comfortable and nice bathroom too.
Food was great - fish and shellfish and the local Skye beer was nice too.
The welcome,rooms,all staff were excellent-looked after our every need and were most kind.A beautiful home away from home for us and a great base to explore this magical island.Thank you Raasay House😊
Beautiful and unique hotel with great facilities and a wonderful view and grounds. Library, game room, tons of space in the room and all around. Excellent meals including good options for kids.
