Great Location - Perfect for our family.

We loved our stay at this lcottage in Portree. It felt very cozy and was nicely decorated. We had a night in when it was pouring rain outside; and took advantage of the common rooms, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, eating dinner at the dinning table, and playing games in the living room.

Perfect location

Portree is such a wonderful town and this house was steps away from everything with a great view of the harbor. We only got to stay 2 nights due to our itinerary but would have loved staying there for a week or more!Hope to come back one day.

Isle of Skye

The property was clean and spacious. The 3 bedrooms more than met our needs for a party of 5. The bathrooms were clean and easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the property and it was close to town for us to navigate to restaurants and the Co-Op for supplies during our stay. I personally really appreciated the "American" coffee maker- for a tea drinking country. The outdoor space was perfect as we had lovely weather during our visit.

Great base to visit Isle of Skye

This home provides a perfect home base for a visit to the Isle of Skye. It is well provisioned and has comfortable beds. The owner provided numerous suggestions for sites to see on the island which really helped us plan our visit.Even though the owner created a great video to help travelers find the house, we still missed it and had to circle back. Basically, it is the first driveway on the left once you get through the downtown area and swing left away from the water. You'll see a row of white houses, and this is one of the first set.We would definitely choose to stay here again.

The house was quite large, comfortable and close to town. Despite the host’s best efforts to describe how to find the house, we struggled. However, once we did, the parking was great and we could walk to everything. It was in a quiet neighborhood. The host left a book of manuals for all the appliances, which we sorely needed. The listing said there was a dryer, which there was not. Also, we needed instructions for the washer as it was entirely different from those in the States. It was a great place to stay and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Easy to find. Lots of room, everything we needed was there, plus a few extras! Quiet, clean and comfortable - really enjoyed our stay. Excellent location to do the Trottenish Loop or explore the rest of Skye. Short walk from downtown restaurants.

Portree Perfection!

This was the second stop on our big Scotland road trip and we fell in love with Portree and this property. It has such a homey, welcoming vibe, the rooms and kitchen are perfectly appointed and the owner was a dream to work with. I will come back to Skye but only if this home is available!

Portree Visit 2024

House is very comfortable and great location. Owners very responsive. Highly recommended. Only things to consider: no dryer for laundry. Also, house needs a street address for Waze or Google Maps rather rely on a video winding you through Portree.

Sidhean Dubha Holiday Home in early May

A great location to traverse the Isle of Skye. All details for the rental are clearly covered in an excellent guide book to the property and region by the owner. Bedrooms are a wee bit small and the bathrooms, while modern, require a little attention but nothing that would deter requesting it to be rented again. Go and enjoy the home and region. Fantastic time for us 4 adults!

Great location but…

The house is in a great location and very clean. Only downside it rains everyday and the house does not have a/c or fans to air dry your clothes. There is not a dryer in the house just a washing machine so your clothes and shoes stay wet all the time. Upstairs rooms are warm, I didn’t open the windows because of the midges flying around

True cottage experience

We really enjoyed our cottage experience with each couple appreciating the 3 Bedroom/3 Bath lodging. The kitchen was perfect as we prepared breakfast each morning . the Co Op grocery was a brief 5 min walk making it so easy to pick up food and adult beverages. We even picked up take away for dinner since the restaurant lines were long. The booking was easy and Doug was outstanding with providing the vital information & responding to questions. I would highly recommend the place for groups—-just make sure you drive slow as you make the last turn out of town so you don’t miss this place on the left. The parking spot in front was wonderful- never got back into car at the end of the day !

Beautiful popoerty - amazing location!

We had a wonderful time in Protree and the unit itself is wonderful, great location with easy access private parking. The only complication we had is that the hot water heater seemed to be on a timer (which we couldn't locate) and set to not turn on until later in the morning. We tend to be early risers and had no hot water until sometime around 9:00 AM in the morning. I am sure this is something that can be easily addressed, just wanted to let the property mangers to know - and guests to confim that it's been addressed. All in all a great experience and I would definitely stay there again!
