Loved it!

We had a great time here and loved the property! The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was there, and more! The only trouble we had was figuring out how to open and lock the door - it often took a few minute before getting it, but that could be because our door handles are different in Canada and we had to figure the tricks out. Had a tricky time finding the place in the dark when we arrived, but it's right across from a small fire station (there was no noise or anything) on the corner so if you know that, it's easy to find. Was very quiet, comfortable and would highly recommend it! We would go back in a heartbeat!!

Will be back

This is the 2nd time we stayed, fantastic location and the house is brilliant value for money. Only one thing I would change, the beds downstairs when you move make a terrible ratling, when you have two children who constantly move about in their sleep, they are very noisy. But other than that was great. 🙂

Poor communication but decent property

The first impression is not positive as there were building materials throughout the yard. The door into the kitchen was incredibly difficult to lock after we opened it. There wasn’t any WIFI and the property manager finally sent someone out to rectify things after I called twice and we only had WIFI for 40 minutes before it went out again. They came out again the next day after I repeatedly called and never listened to the voicemails I left. I liked the property it was large enough for 8 of us and the location is great, but the property manager has ignored all emails I’ve sent asking for a compensation due to the WIFI issues and us having to buy cellular data. Disappointing for sure!

Amazing

This place was fantastic. We stayed here with our entire family for a few days before and after our wedding on Skye and loved it. The size was fanatic for all of the vendors to come do their thing (hair, makeup, photographers etc) while us being able to still work around. Such a short walk into town and an incredible view of the loch. We would come back

Amazing

Everything about this place was fantastic! My wife and I stayed here for the few days before and after our wedding and couldn’t have asked for anything better. We had all of our services (hair, makeup, photographers, cake etc) come by to the house as well and the size of the house didn’t make anything feel cramped. We’d definitely return

Wonderful house

We loved this rental house. The location is perfect - easy walk to town and a stunning view. Finding it the first time was a bit tricky but after that no issues. Great easy to use kitchen and wonderful dining and living areas. Bedrooms were very comfortable and great consistently hot showers. Plus having a laundry machine and dryer was such a bonus. Would love to come back some day.

Comfortable and very good location but the price is too hight

The house is comfortable and the location is perfect in Portree but this house is an home staging house and the price is really too high; some materials need to be better, for the floor for example ; some details could be improved and one problem very dangerous on the bed in a room has to be repaired

Comfortable House in Excellent Location

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. It was very comfortable for our group of seven and we loved the convenient location with a quick walk to the charming village of Portree. The house is equipped with everything we needed and extra points for having a dryer which our other rentals did not have. The view is spectacular and everyone we met in the neighborhood and associated with the property was friendly and helpful.

First Impressions

Arriving at this property, it looked like a construction zone. We hardly had room to turn in to be off the street. When I called, the property manager met us and informed us that the deck was being redone which should have been finished when we arrived, but obviously wasn't. She assured us that we would not be bothered and honestly, we were not bothered in the least after we settled in. We still should have been advised of the project prior to arriving. We found the property very clean and comfortable. We only used 2 bedrooms which we found very spacious and welcoming. We all slept very well and the en suite bathrooms were very convenient with good water pressure in the showers. The kitchen area was a bit intimidating with its jazzy modern appliances, but we figured them out without too much bother. I would suggest that kitchen utensils be better stocked with spatulas, etc. as we had to improvise. The traffic lanes around the property were very narrow and took a bit getting used to. We could walk to the harbor area easily, but there was a steep hill back to the house which was too much for a couple of us. The views from the house were beautiful - one of the advantages of being on a hill - and once we settled in, we were totally comfortable. I would stay here again (with a completed deck) and wold recommend to others.

Great Stay in Skye

Great house. Exactly meet the description. But note, house is located on cliff above beach, not right on beach as it seems in the pictures. The bathtub in main bedroom seems nice, but not really practical. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Lovely stay on Skye Bat

Loved this house with plenty of room for all 6 of us. The view was beautiful, location perfect and the little added touches to decorate the house were perfect for feeling at home. They even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! Would definitely come back to Skye Bay!

Please feel free to share my experience. Everything about This location is perfect. A short walk to pubs, shops, everything we needed. The accommodations are more than comfortable, very clean and well stocked. The kitchen had everything needed to breakfasts and dinner. Plenty of room for 5 adults. The highways leading in every direction are easily accessible
