A warm
welcome awaits from the Irish-Welsh couple who run this appealing B&B bang in the
centre of town. All four bedrooms have a view across the harbour to the hill that gives the
house its name and breakfasts include free-range eggs and vegetables grown in the
garden.
Peinmore House££

; r £130-140; )
Signposted off the
main road about 2 miles south of Portree, this former manse has been cleverly converted
into a guest house that is more stylish and luxurious than most hotels. The bedrooms and
bathrooms are huge (one bathroom has an armchair in it!), as is the choice of breakfast
(kippers and smoked haddock on the menu), and there are panoramic views to the Old
Man of Storr.

; 9-11 Bosville Tce; s/d from £130/138; )
The Bosville brings a little bit of metropolitan style to Portree with its designer fabrics and
furniture, flatscreen TVs, fluffy bathrobes and bright, spacious bathrooms. It's worth
splashing out a bit for the 'premier' rooms, with leather recliner chairs from which you
can lap up the view over the town and harbour.

The Rosedale is a cosy, old-fashioned hotel - you'll be welcomed with a
glass of whisky or sherry when you check in - delightfully situated down by the water-
front. Its three converted fishermen's cottages are linked by a maze of narrow stairs and
corridors, and the restaurant has a view of the harbour.

A great loca-

mile south of the town centre, a good choice.
