Kitchen: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 2: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 3: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and broadband included. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack.. Enclosed garden. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. Greenhill is a very special holiday home tucked away in a tiny settlement called Torvaig, near Portree. Greenhill is a detached bungalow and has been completely renovated to a very good standard of accommodation. There are three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a living/dining room with open fire, and a kitchen. It’s a perfect house for families because it has an amazing enclosed garden.
The location is truly spectacular, at the road end with one of the best views on the island, and that’s saying something. At the front of the property, the garden spills away to reveal the Sound of Raasay and the channel that leads to Portree harbour, as well as the striking hill Ben Tianavaig across the water. It’s a sublime situation and you will be blown away every time you gaze out to look.
Even though you’re so close to Portree, this location is amazingly quiet: partly because the road to Portree is a few miles round, and not direct, which means you’re still close for the shops, bars, cafés and restaurants, but have the advantage of peace and quiet, your own little tranquil slice of heaven. This quiet helps attract Skye’s wildlife, and just below the property and to the left where the land spills away to the coast, there are cliffs where sea eagles and golden eagles nest. Also there are regular sightings of dolphins at the mouth of Portree Bay, which you can see from Greenhill.
Just under 3 miles to Portree by car, you’re a shorter walk away. There’s a fabulous trail that loops right by the house and is a popular walk for locals and visitors to Portree alike. Staying at Greenhill you can use the Scorrybreac Trail to get in and out of the town. To the centre of Portree it is only a 1-mile walk. Beach 7 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.
Suitable for up to 2 pets

Excellent accommodation with lovely views and surrounding landscapes.
Excellent accommodation with lovely views and surrounding landscapes. Location is close to Portree which can be accessed by a path and if required there is the bus service from the main road. It is worth mentioning that the lane to the accommodation can be covered by ice in the winter. We were stranded during the first week of January for 4 days.

Had a lovely break, the view is second to none! Children loved exploring the area and a garden that could be properly secured was the icing on the cake allowing our dog to be outside living his best life while keeping safe!
