Fish & chips were delicious, soup was ok. Really appreciated the friendly & quick service, and the atmosphere is fun. Just be aware that they only serve food after 3pm!

The pub was a fun time, we went all 3 nights that we stayed in Portree, even though we stayed at a room up the street. The food was great, J was a treasure and live music on Tuesday night was a rippin’ good time!

Clean rooms with a very comfy bed. Restaurant has good service and food is very good. Pub can get busy but makes for an enjoyable evening. Really enjoyed my stay.

Ok so were spending a day at the edge of civilisation in Portee, Skye. In the evening, we went the Isles Inn for food at around 18.30, because it seemed to be the only place that didn't require a reservation.The inn is split into two sections, restaurant and bar.We had been in the bar in the afternoon and found it to be a friendly place with polite staff and a good selection of drinks.At 1830 the plave was really full. Despite this, the staff were able to squeeze us into a corner. We had fish and chips and one of those skewered beefburger with the tomato/pickle trimmings and chips.The food was good, the beefburger outstanding. The fish was a very high quality fresh fillet and generously battered. Scrummy.Food service was on point and suitably tipped.We finished our food and went and sat back in the bar for a pleasant evening where, that night, French seemed to be the most commonly used language at the edge of civilisation!

We were looking for a place to eat on a Tuesday evening but Portree was super busy; had already tried 4 or 5 other places to be told they were fully booked or we could wait outside in the line for a table. The last place we tried recommended the Isles Inn as they don't take bookings, it's first come first served. There was already a line when we got there and we were told they had a full waiting list but that it could change in an hour. Luckily there were seats in the bar so we happily took a beer to wait it out. We hadn't even finished our first pint when we got seated in the restaurant. The food was excellent. Fish of the day cooked perfectly with broccoli & potato's and the cajun chicken burger with fries. We finished with the sticky toffee pudding and the toffee pudding Sunday. The service was great, the vibe was delightful and they had live music from 9pm. We were glad we ended up here as it turned out to be a wonderful evening. Would recommend.Food & drinks: Great selection of beers on tap, huge whiskey menu and plenty of other drinks. Specials of the day were great and the menu itself is good.

Horrid fish and chips only topped by the rude and indifferent staff. The fish is all batter and a small piece of, seemingly, frozen fish. Chips taste like a generic, corporate, flavorless, out of the bag product. I ate only a small amount, sent it back, and got another portion of the same. Ate two bites of that and asked for the bill.I paid and asked to speak to the manager/owner. I was told she wasn’t there.I spoke with the aggressive bartender/server who said this was “the best fish and chips in town”. No apology and no concern about customer satisfaction.Sorry, this is a place that takes advantage of tourists and doesn’t care because they know they’re not sending away a customer who will ever be here again.All around awful; no pride in what they serve nor how they treat people.Unnecessarily poor.

Very very busy evening with only 3 people in the front of house. Super nice pub food for a good price. I was blown away by the hospitality of the staff, very busy because of the rugby match but they had time for everyone and served everyone on time with a smile. Hard to find these days! Chapeau!

Decent pub. I thought the beer tasted nice, but unfortunately could not sample the food due to overcrowding. I watched the World Cup of Rugby which was amusing (not for the locals as Scotland lost). Would happily visit again if I pass back through one day.

This is a great spot for a meal. They have live entertainment on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but unfortunately I was not there one of those days. The seafood here is delicious, whether the fish and chips or the catch of the day. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.Food & drinks: Highly recommend place to eat.

We came for drinks and decided to stay for dinner. We had the fish and chips which was the worst we ever had (small frozen fish portion covered with massive breadcrumbs). Had few bites of it before sending it back. The waiter brought us another one but we ran into the same problem again. We explained what the problem was but they wouldn’t care and made us paid for it saying it was the best fish&chips in town!!!!!. They obviously haven’t tried it. We had a much better FRESH fish&chips at chippy on the harbour. NOT recommended!

I come in here every time I take my holidays on Skye. Used to be quite a decent pub with friendly staff. I came in yesterday for a beer and I'm stood at the bar with my pint as the pub was very busy with nowhere to sit. A very rude member of staff approached me and said can I help you? He could see I was holding my beer and said you will have to go into the lounge area. There was barely anywhere to stand never mind sit. Absolutely no way was I standing outside in the rain. Nowhere to park either. Disgusting!
