An absolutely beautiful B&B. Very, very tastefully decorated with lots of thoughtful extras. The whole place was stylish and welcoming, and breakfast was not only delicious and plentiful, but also beautifully presented. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Fantastatic breakfast in a cute environment. Lovely place to stay. Great location situated with a great view and close to the city centre with everything in walking distance.

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.
An absolutely stunning location and a lovely hotel. The food was good and we loved the bar and library. Our special thanks go to the staff who were so helpful with absolutely everything.. they even somehow arranged for a surprise birthday flower delivery to the island!
Our only regret was that due to our form of payment we missed the opportunity to leave a tip. It doesn't make up for it but hopefully this review at least puts a smile on the team's faces. We will definitely recommend to others and we owe a double tip for next time!
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.
Room was very big, comfy with unbelievable views, mesmerising! Frankly we loved it (family of four with grown up kids)
Breakfast was great, Scottish, hot breakfast with Toatties, Haggies, mushrooms, full english
The staff was so welcoming and helpful
The location is great however please plan well in advance if catching a flight etc as going into the isle of Raasay requires a ferry transfer of 25 mins
The Isle of Raasay distillery is one of the best places I have ever stayed. Between the beautiful accommodations, the wonderful spirits offered, and the fantastic staff, you won't be disappointed with your stay. This place is a must for anyone looking for great drinks and fantastic views. It's easy to walk to the Inn next door for dinner and makes the whole experience even more unique. We loved it!
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.
Honestly Raasay House was a highlight of our entire 2 weeks in Scotland. The kitchen garden space was beautiful, the island was just gorgeous, and the service at Raasay House was perfect. The food was much much better than I expected. My thanks to the chef! We visited in early May before the crowds and it was out of this world. A true hidden treasure.
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.
The friendly and helpful staff, the plush accommodations, the large portion of delicious, fresh mussels at dinner, the view of Skye right out our bedroom window, the laid back and friendly atmosphere, the bathroom sink with one faucet handle for water temperature, the multiple outlets with USB slots in them.
The room decor was beautiful with stunning views of the sea and jetty. The dinner we had at this place was superb. It was a unique and memorable experience staying here. We recommend people to visit this place and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Raasay Island. We look forward to return again.

Amazing stay in Raasay, very welcoming and comfortable. Lovely room, Incredible view from the dining room, delicious breakfast. The tour of the distillery is also a must. Everything is lovely and the staff is attentive and caring.
A small little place on this planet which was overwhelming and outstanding! What a magnificent hotel and distillery to stay in. Very welcoming staff and the whiskey tasting very enjoyable and relaxing. Breakfast was 5 star!!!
Beautiful location. The hotel was formerly a stately home and is steeped in history. The library is a must see and the garden!
Staff were very warm and friendly. Delicious evening meal.
it is the only hotel on the island so there was nowhere else to compare it with . The distillery has accommodation but luckily we had not book there as they had no chef
Amazing views, wonderful staff. Hotel was newly remodeled and very clean. We loved the distillery tour that was included with our stay. Food was exceptional!
