Raasay House Hotel & Outdoor Activity Centre

Outstanding food from start to finish. Fresh , beautifully cooked and well presented. Everything was piping hot and the tastes out of this world. I can highly recommend the scallops and steak and the whiskey and honeycomb desert was to die for. The staff were impeccable , so friendly and cheery and simply could not do enough to make you feel very welcome. I personally loved the singing waiter - such a fun person. Our evening was brilliant from start to finish. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Thank you all. |The Grove Family

We were expecting this hotel to be wonderful as it cost over £320 per night. By far the most expensive on our tour of the islands. Our experience was very poor. The room was tiny and at the top of the house rather like an attic room. The bathroom was v small with a tiny shower stall. |It appeared to be run by students here for the Summer. They were all friendly as were the reception staff.|Dinner was ok but with limited choice. The dining areas were very plain rather like a cheap cafe. The bar and restaurant staff were friendly.|Breakfast was poor. Very little on offer for a continental, the pastries had gone and the fruit was minimal. The cooked items were cold and unappetising. The coffee was good.|This is probably one of the worst hotels we have stayed at in all the years we have been travelling the islands.|We would have stayed at the Distillery hotel but they were full.|Rasaay is a lovely island with beautiful views everywhere. The local shop was good and staff v friendly.|Our experience of Rasaay was spoilt by this hotel. We will not be recommending it. The owners need to improve things if they are going to continue to charge such exorbitant prices.

I absolutely do not recommend the Raasay House, and I especially do not recommend someone without weather-inclusive travel insurance book here.||You should be very aware that this property is only reachable by ferry, and those ferries can be cancelled due to weather. We couldn’t make it due to a severe windstorm that swept the country causing the ferries to be cancelled, and none of the staff were even apologetic about the situation. “Welcome to island life,” one said. Usually, if someone else books the room you can get a partial refund. Literally no one could get on the island, so there was no possibility for a refund and no meals were comped nor was any sort of compensation provided for our missed night. We had to book a different place that ended up being a much, much nicer experience than our time at Raasay House. Any customer service at all would have been appreciated. Had Rassay House given us a 10% refund or a meal voucher or just an apology I probably wouldn’t be writing this review.||When we finally got there, our room was drab, the continental breakfast can only be described as bad, and the interior was an ugly mess. The room we ate dinner in had thrift store quality unframed paintings on the wall in way of decor. Their lack of attention to detail is exemplified by the game room, which should not be open to the public and looks like a room in a cheap hostel. We felt like we paid way, WAY too much for such a low quality place. We paid 537 USD total a night to stay there (around 400 pounds) which we now know is a ridiculous price to pay for this place.||Do not overlook this property’s faults just to stay on Raasay Island. There’s not much to see, and if you want to explore the Isle of Skye you have to be back by 18:30, since that’s when the last ferry is. If you want to go, I recommend taking a day trip. You would be much better off booking somewhere that has easy access to the rest of Skye and good staff.

We accidentally booked our stay on the Isle of Raasay, thinking it was the Isle of Skye—and it turned out to be the most pleasant surprise of our trip. The Raasay Hotel was spotless, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, even helping organize activities like hiking, biking, and a local dance event where we learned Scottish dancing. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and despite being on a small island, it’s very convenient thanks to the nearby ferry. The island itself is incredibly tranquil, with only about 180 residents and one small supermarket. Dinners and breakfasts at the hotel were delicious. We left feeling lucky to have stumbled upon such a peaceful and memorable place.

Raasay House will forever be one of the most special places in the world for us. In 2022 I staid on Isle of Raasay and was struck with its unspoiled beauty. Years later, we chose this beautiful venue for our wedding and could not have been more delighted with our choice. The rooms are beautiful and clean, service is truly unmatched—every single staff member was exemplary from the moment we stepped off the ferry—and the food was stellar. If you’re looking for somewhere that mixes adventure, elegance, and tranquil beauty, this is the place. Note: Special thank you to everyone who worked Oct 09-12 2024, you made our time so special.

The hotel is beautiful. The location is really unique. However, the room was scorching hot and I had a very hard time sleeping. I asked to lower the temperature and they offered to split my family into two rooms. Impossible with young children especially late at night. The person in charge patronized me telling me that the heater was cooling down when it was not. If you value your sleep, save the money and find another place. The dinner was average compared to the cost of it. The desserts were good. To me sleeping is very important especially during vacation. Wasted potential on this hotel.

Beautiful building on a beautiful property. Staff (and island residents) were universally friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and airy with a view from every window. The island can be explored by rental bike, kayak or with your own car. We would definitely recommend and return!

Staff is so nice and the room was good. We booked our tables in advance and we got a very special table, with their best view, because we mentioned we were on our honeymoon.||I loved the Hotel Garden and the view from the hotel is spectaculair. There are many sheep and wild rabbits to be seen. If you have a dog, please do as they say and put them on a leash to avoid your dog killing rabbits (as we were unfortunate to witness).||The island itself is gorgeous and so peaceful. Many great hiking trails. The terrain is quite rough, so bring appropriate gear.||The hotel offers day trips and outdoor activities. It was the best stay of our roadtrip through Scotland!

We were so excited for our trip but due to choosing safety over possibly being stuck in Scotland and unable to return...we canceled our long planned trip to Scotland. We are in a global pandemic folks. We totally planned to return post this sorting itself out but given the hosts "under no circumstances, no not even a global pandemic" cancellation policy and FULLY charging my card...we will not be staying here. We travel a lot and we will share this experience widely. We sure wish you'd choose to be good humans and consider at least a partial refund. None of us chose this...
