This is such a lovely rental. We really enjoyed our stay. It is clean and comfortable and has so much space. We also really appreciated the milk, bread and snacks left for us (we arrived late and having milk for morning tea/coffee was a huge plus). It is within walking distance of shops and restaurants, but just far enough away to not be in the middle of the noise and crowds of the tourist area (nice to not have to drive into town for dinner as parking is at a premium in Portree). I can't say enough good things about the rental and will definitely stay again when on Skye.

Great property. Convenient location. It would be wonderful if a clothes dryer could be added. We washed clothes and had to air dry. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and were able to use the clothes hanger outside. Although, this would be a great addition to the property, we were aware of the lack of a dryer due to the accuracy of the listing. I do recommend this property.

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.

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.

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!

My Business Partner (and wife) and I have been in the hospitalty business locally in Skye for some time. As a retired Police Officer in the area, I have a good local knowledge and believe in attention to detail to enhance our guest experience.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in central Portree with a Sea View in the quieter Staffin Road area of Portree-the start of the Trotternish Tourist Route . Having said that you are only minutes walk away from the bars restaurants and sites of Portree and its beautifyl harbour.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing Atmosphere, Great Views, proximity to facilities and tour routes.
Our house is modern but with a traditional Scots feel.
