"Very classy place. We loved our stay in Portree and the hotel was a positive part of the visit. I searched for the best sea scallops in the town and it just so happened that the Marmalade's restaurant was very high on the recommendations. So we gave it a try. Incredible! Super quiet and clean. Staff is outstanding. The walk up the hill is a little steep but it was worth being out of the main area for the quiet. Would stay there again for sure."
