The property was in excellent condition, modern and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the owners left out a ‘starter’ pack of bread, butter, milk cheese etc.Parking was good - right outside the front door.Not too far to walk into the town centre and a fab situation for exploring the island.Communication with the owner was excellent.Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Lovely, well-located place to stay

This was a wonderful stay, with great directions from Alan, extensive welcome snacks and so forth in a clean, well-designed space. Parking is easy, walking in to the center of Portree also very simple. Alan had many siggestions for what to do and lots of maps and brochures available to help with decision making. I would most definitely stay here again!

Lovely place to stay

We traveled with our daughter, who stayed in the Portree Youth Hostel. The location of the Pipers Hut was fabulous for walkjng both to the town centre and to the hostel. Alan and Megan were wonderful hosts and the studio was perfect. We only wish we had stayed for a couple more days.

Could not have been more perfect

Piper’s Hut was impeccably clean, with every amenity we could have hoped for. Alan and Megan have created a cozy home away from home and they took the time to check on us when we arrived and when we departed. They truly care about their guests. We will be returning!

Married with a small son, this is a family business but we prefer to treat you as friends than guests and would be delighted to chat if you wanted too.
I have played the bagpipes for over 25 years and am the pipe major of the local Isle of Skye Pipe Band - if you want to know more about the bagpipes and maybe hear a tune, I'm your man!
