Perfectly located for a short walk in Portree and a drive around the Isle of Skye. We had two families w/teens and found the space perfect for sleeping and a large dining space for all of us to eat together. Easy check in/out. Ready to go back already!

Beautiful home on Skye

We enjoyed our stay at Cairnmohr House! There were just 4 adults in our party, so we had more room than we needed. The house has a beautiful view of the harbor. Catherine was very helpful and responsive to messages. We had a lovely holiday on Skye and will visit again!

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay very much. We figured out the stove & dishwasher but the videos were outdated on these appliances. The kitchen could have been a little better stocked but we managed nicely. Loved the town of Portree & enjoyed walking to & fro. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.
