Skye is een fantastisch eiland en Seashimmer ligt centraal. De gastvrouw was erg aardig en behulpzaam. Ze geven ook tips wat je op Skye kunt zien.

Harish is super. Mega vriendelijk, geen vraag is hem teveel. Appartement met 2 slaapkamers voldoet aan alle verwachtingen. De foto's spreken voor zich. Alles clean en netjes. Eigen parkeerplaats is ook een troef. De ideale locatie om Isle of Skye te ontdekken. Vanuit de leefruimte fantastisch zich om meer en bergen. Rustige ligging. Kortom...boeken. Bedankt voor alles.

Sea Shimmer war die Beste Unterkunft auf unserer Schottlandreise. Herzliche Gastgeber die uns sehr freundlich in Empfang nahmen und jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung standen. Eine sehr schöne liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung. Unsere Tochter hatte ihr eigenes Reich mit einem wunderschönen Zimmer und eigenem Bad. Wir hatten alles was man in einer Ferienwohnung zum Selbstversorgen braucht. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Die Bäder sehr neu und gepflegt. Waschmaschine, Wäscheständer, genügend Geschirr etc war vorhanden. Der Ausblick in die Natur ein Traum und eine sehr erholsame Ruhe. In die nächste Stadt (Supermarkt, Tanken etc ) sind es mit dem Auto nur 15 Minuten Wir hätten gerne noch ein paar Tage in dieser Ferienwohnung verbracht. Evtl. wenn es Die Zeit zulässt kommen wir einmal wieder.
Absolut nichts. Es gab nichts zu Beanstanden.

the property was in the the perfect location, 8 miles from Portree and very central for all visitor attractions, the views over the the loch and hills were to die for, you will never tire of the views.
FOUND OUT THAT THE PROPERTY WAS UP FOR SALE, IF IT WAS TWO YEARS ON, I WOULD SNAP IT UP IN A HEARTBEAT, GRAB YOURSELF A GREAT PROPERTY.
nothing to unlike a perfect 10

Size of apartment.
Fire blanket should be in a fixed place. The best place for a fire blanket is mounted on the wall, marked with the correct signage, red in colour, and where they will be easily seen. Not tucked away on the side of the unit
Kitchen is not at all stocked. Zero thought is put into making it feel like home. At least having oil to cook would have been a simple touch. Instead guest are left to buy oil which would last anyone a month.
No flexibility was given to dropping bags off earlier , this seemed a little unfair,excuse given was time was needed to clean despite having 6 hours to clean, a bit more of a human touch should be given when dealing with guests.
Heating is on a countdown timer when pressed, guests are unable to put on a pre timer to come back to a warm home after a day out in the freezing cold.
Entrance needs to be taken care under freezing condition as this iced over and no salt was laid leaving a dangerous slippery slope.

The views were absolutely breaktaking. The garden table was perfect.
Nothing.

Excellent location, and Harish was super friendly and helpful. It was a perfect base for our family, allowing us to explore the island whilst having somewhere to rest at the end of the day.
The only downside was the lack of an oven, but we knew this when booking and it didn't impact our enjoyment.

We loved where the loft was located. From our windows we had a beautifull view on the loch. The little terrace with the seats was great. The loft itself was really clean, big enough for 4 and facilitated with a great kitchenette and great bathrooms.
Nothing, we had a great time

very nice flat, very quiet. Beautiful!

Beautiful, spacious accommodation in a quiet location with lovely views. Property was spotlessly clean and well-appointed. Harish and Clemencia were very friendly, warm and welcoming hosts, who were happy to provide lots of information on the local area. The complimentary wine and shortbread were a lovely touch too! We loved our time there!
Nothing - everything was perfect! Would definitely stay again if back in the area

Amazing location and spotlessly clean! Hosts were lovely and even left us a little gift upon arrival. Hosts met us at the gate for us arriving and had a little chat with us and explained everything throughly, even gave us recommendations for where to eat and places to visit! If either of us came back to Scotland we would definitely stay here again!
Nothing to fault during our stay.

What beautiful views from our windows. Just what I needed! Harish and Clemencia were such welcoming hosts. They helped us to get reservations at 2 restaurants when there were none to be had in Portree. They also gave us great ideas for our daily adventures. Plus it was a good place to stay with a teenager as he was glad to finally have his own space.
Nothing...We couldn't have asked for a better place or hosts!

Met hosts on arrival, could not be more pleasant and very helpful. Property was extremely well turned out with everything you could possible need for a stay. We were working in Portree and it was a very pleasant 10 minute drive from the accommodation. Would have no hesitation in recommending Sea Shimmer.

Harish was very welcoming and extremely helpful; he gave us lots of information and offered to answer any questions at any time! The property was amazing; spotlessly clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of four. The shortbread and bottle of wine upon arrival were also a nice touch! The views were beautiful; it was lovely to look out over the loch each morning. The 10 minute drive to Portree was very straightforward and we thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of Treaslane alongside the convenience of being near the town. Overall, we all loved Sea Shimmer!
Nothing- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
