We were a party of 6 and the house was just right for us. The three bathrooms were nice to have as well. It was a challenge finding the house but once we used the GPS location they provided it got us there. The house was a short walk to town for shopping or dinner. The location was a good base for touring the isle of Skye.

My wife and I stayed at the home for three nights and it was truly memorable. The furnishings were excellent, including the bedding, bathroom supplies, kitchen appliances, and plates/utensils. It was clean, warm, and welcoming. The location can’t be beat. The home is an easy half mile walk from the Portree city center, including shops, bars, and restaurants. Also, the location in Portree is excellent for seeing the many Isle of Skye highlights The communication with Ben and Cat was spot-on perfect. Cat stopped by shortly after we arrived and provided a description of the home and its amenities, as well as the general area. It was raining sideways the day we arrived and Cat proactively booked a taxi for us for dinner. Nice! Best of all, I messaged Ben and Cat a few days before we arrived regarding their suggestions for a driver/guide for a day tour around Isle of Skye. Cat responded that a nephew of hers (Ollie) could be available. We laid out our desired stops, including runs and hikes. Cat added a few local stops to the agenda. On the day we did this trip, Ollie showed up exactly on time and we had a perfect day with him. We saw everything we wanted and Ollie added some local knowledge and flair. It was perfect and the highlight of our time in Portree. Thank you Cat and Ollie! We highly recommend this home and the management team. It is a perfect home base for seeing all that Skye has to offer!

The location of this property couldn’t be better. Quick walk right into the centre of Portree and easy access to everything Skye has to offer. The rooms are spacious but the real selling point is the kitchen and dining room. If you love board games and family meals this is definitely the place to be. Really need to think about space though as there wasn’t a lot of cupboard space in the kitchen to put food etc. But dishwasher and laundry facilities were great and tablets provided for both.

We really enjoyed our stay and the communication from the rental company. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and relax, and we also enjoyed the giant kitchen table for socializing. The kitchen had everything we needed. They do need to update their info on how to use appliances and heat. There seem to have been renovations since the original videos were made so it took us a while to figure some things out. It really is a short walk into town, so we really loved the location. The sun even came out just long enough for us to enjoy a brief happy hour at the picnic table!

This opened up for two nights about 1 week before we left for Scotland, and I jumped on it so we'd have two nights in one spot. SO glad I did! This place is beautiful, in a wonderful location, and made our stay on the Isle of Skye even more special. We stayed in Scotland for 10 days, and this was EASILY one of our top stays! We had never used an induction cooktop before, but asked the staff who got back to us immediately. It was larger than we needed, but wouldn't have changed a thing!

The house was a great place to stay when visiting Isle of Skye. The appliances were a little difficult to figure out. Comfortable living space to hang out. Overall, a great stay!

Somewhat difficult to find at first. But once here we enjoyed the spacious layout, the well equipped kitchen and the ensuite bathrooms. A cosy property that was easy to hear. Close to Portree town centre (5 mins, walk) and supermarket (20 mins walk) Not 5 stars as it lacked information on how guests were to use the property. On the pricey side for a property of this size and facilities.

The property whilst being cosy with nice showers was poorly equipped for a group of 6. Modern bathroom and en-suite however rest of the property needs upgrading. The property is in a good location and within easy walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and attractions in Portree.

I would absolutely rent this house again. It was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the harbour and within an easy walk of town. The kitchen was well appointed (just need a large fry pan for the induction stove) and all 3 bathrooms were modern and clean. I would love to visit this house again one day.

What a beautiful house! It is located on a quiet side street and there is parking for several cars on the property. The city center is easily accessible on foot. The house is comfortably furnished, pleasantly warm and very clean. The kitchen is huge, but still cozy and very well equipped. Six people can comfortably sit in the living room. We felt very comfortable there.

Our stay at Cairnmhor was excellent. The property was stunning and better than expected. Just a 10 minute walk into Portree meant this was a fantastic location and a half our drive to most attractions on the Isle of Skye. We will definitely be back at the property and will recommend it to family and friends.

This was a wonderful experience. We had a group of seven and it was the perfect. The best location and the perfect size. A nice big kitchen and table for us all to eat at. Very easy instructions for checking in/out. The place was clean and just beautiful. We especially loved the outdoor picnic table, which was great for our evening of whiskey and relaxing.

We absolutely loved our time at Cairnmhor House. It was exceptionally well equipped (particularly the kitchen, for those who enjoy cooking) and is our favourite holiday home we recall ever staying at! It was very clean and the location was superb - a short work to the centre of Portree and as a base to other attractions on Skye. 10/10!

Our party of 4 had a wonderful stay at the above property. The house is clean, spacious and properly maintained. The kitchen is huge and is equipped with everything that we needed. The beds are comfortable. The master bathroom and the common bathroom are very big and it was also very convenient to have the smaller ensuite bathroom in one of the bedrooms. We love to laze around in the living room which has a beautiful view of the lake. The house is located a very convenient and easy 10m stroll from the town centre (its a nice walk by the river too) where there are many cute shops, nice restaurants and a co-op for groceries. The host is very responsive and helpful in his communication from the get-go. He gave us many recommendations to good restaurants which enabled us to make advance bookings. I had a slight problem with the shower tap on the first day and contacted the host very early in the morning. He actually sent someone over to fix the problem before 9am! If we ever came back to Portree even with a bigger group we will choose the Cairnmhor House again because we are sure that we will have another great stay at the property!

Lovely cottage, clean and great location and value for money. Only downside was did nit leave tea towels which we had to go buy. Also if you have this booked bring your own coffee. Does nit supply enough for 6 adults. But all in all a lovely place to stay.
