Royal Hotel (MacNab's Inn), Portree

Hotel *** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

With the picturesque harbour of Portree in the foreground and the view of the bay behind, the Royal Hotel offers a quiet relaxing retreat. A large hotel with two restaurants - one catering for families and parties and a smaller, more intimate one offering seafood as a speciality. MacNab's Inn, part of the main hotel building, offered three beers from the nearby Cuillin brewery at Sligachan on handpull in the past, but this is temporarily suspended probably while the brewery relocates. Keg Isle of Skye from Uig up the road is on offer, in the meantime. [Update 9 May 2025: Bar operating hours displayed at the door of closed pub Sun-Wed 3-11pm, Thu-Sat 11am-11pm]
