Your Skye base matters more than you might think. 🚗

Exploring the island can mean spending a fair amount of time in the car, so it’s nice to know that when you get back to Marmalade, you can park up and leave it there.

We have free private parking, Portree town centre is around a 5–10 minute walk away, and there’s a guest lounge when you want to just sit down and relax for a while.

Because after a full day exploring Skye, sometimes the last thing you want to do is get straight back in the car.

💡 This month's 'Perle of Wisdom' ... Don’t rush your visit to Dunvegan Castle & Gardens .

If it's on your Skye list, make sure you leave some time for the gardens too.

The castle is surrounded by five acres of formal gardens, which first began to take shape in the 18th century. They’re quite a contrast to the landscape you’ll have been driving through on Skye, with a Water Garden, Rose Garden, Walled Garden and woodland walks🌿

You can find out more about the gardens here: https://www.dunvegancastle.com/gardens/gardens/

Scottish Food & Drink September is back. 🍴 This year’s theme is ‘Every Bite Tells a Story’, and being here on Skye gives us plenty of food stories to tell.

Over the next month, we’ll be sharing some of the food served at Marmalade and the Scottish produce that makes its way onto our menus.

Have you ever wondered why the Marmalade Hotel is called Marmalade Hotel? 🍊

The name comes from the original, older part of the building, which dates back to 1806–1810 when it was built as a grand Georgian country house known as Portree House.

But the sweet name has another story behind it. The house was once surrounded by orange trees in its gardens - quite a sight in the Scottish Highlands!

And that unexpected splash of citrus is what inspired the name Marmalade.💛

“How close are you to Portree?”

It’s one of the questions we’re asked a lot!

The centre of Portree is around a 5 to 10 minute walk from Marmalade, so you can leave the car at the hotel and head down on foot for the harbour, shops, cafés, restaurants or an evening out.

And from up here, you can see just how close it all is.

A seat that rarely stays empty for long. We think the view might have something to do with it 🌿

Today, Chris, General Manager of our Skye hotels, visited Portree Nursery to present a donation from the Perle Hotels team, which will help towards developing the children’s outdoor areas.

Radio Skye joined us for the visit and spoke to both Chris and the nursery manager about the donation, so keep an ear out for their interview airing soon.

Thank you to everyone for being so welcoming 😊

Hotel guest lounges can sometimes be spaces that look lovely, but don’t actually get used all that much. But, we’d like to think ours is a little different.

One of the things we love about the guest lounge at Marmalade is seeing people genuinely make themselves at home here. It gives you somewhere to go when you don’t quite fancy retreating to your room yet, whether that’s sitting with a coffee, having a drink, reading for a while or just enjoying a more sociable space after a day out on Skye.
