Famed not only for our award-winning spirit, we’re also the only distillery in Scotland where you can stay overnight in the same building as a working distillery, and have recently been awarded Travellers’ Choice 2025 by Tripadvisor!
Borodale House is our Victorian villa transformed into a state-of-the-art whisky hotel and visitor centre, complete with six ensuite bedrooms that can be booked individually or by groups of up to 12. What’s more, we are thrilled to welcoming more guests to our brand new Na Bothain (The Bothies) from October 2025. Five luxury cabins inspired by the cosy bothies found across Scotland for weary travellers to rest, all sitting on a hill overlooking the Cuillin mountain range on Skye.
Experience life at the distillery first hand in Borodale House, a magical Hebridean escape.
With some of the best views from any distillery in Scotland, at the Isle of Raasay Distillery Hotel you can wake up to some of the #BestDistilleryViews of the Isle of Skye’s Cuillin mountains and our team distilling a new batch of whisky or gin.
Borodale House is named after Dùn Borghadal, a nearby broch dating from around 800 BC. Originally designed in the 1800s by Alexander Ross, the house was beautifully restored to perfectly integrate the old with the new.
Bookings for Na Bothain are now open for October 2025 and weekends through November, until the distillery closes for winter. Due to our growing popularity – having recently been awarded a spot in TripAdvisor’s top 10% places to visit worldwide – early reservations for 2026 are also open and strongly encouraged!
A one night stay for two in one of these beautiful Bothain starts from £360 for a standard B&B package. Alternatively, you can book the Islaand Escape package from £380, which includes additional benefits:
