Good location if you are not expecting too much

Location is great, only a short walk to the town centre

A slightly odd welcome with the order to remove our shoes at the door and to put some slippers on. Furnishings are all a bit dated. A wardrobe or similar would be good to store clothes in rather than having to use the floor. And please put some new curtains in room one - the current ones are not nearly big enough to cover the window, and even with the blind down, with a 2 foot gap in the curtains you get sunlight streaming in to the room very early indeed!

Espectacular

La amabilidad de la propietaria, todo muy familiar y la limpieza y cuidado de la casa. ¡Espectacular!

Que solo pasé una noche, ojalá hubiera podido estar alli el resto de los días.

The name is deceiving. Modern house in suburban setting. Not 5 star

Never had breakfast. Not enough of a choice.

Removing shoes each time we entered. Felt like I was in someone else’s home.

Excellent having a kitchen and sitting room available for everyone. Serge also provided cereal, toast and milk for breakfast every day. Thank you

Parking was difficult as the area was tight for so many cars.

Plan ahead. Do your research. This is not a hotel. It’s some guy’s house.

Portree on Isle of Skye is beautiful.

This place is a boarding house. Tiny room. Little privacy. Should not be advertised as a hotel room!

Nice place, good location

Good location - 5 minute walk from Main Street. Good sized room and comfy bed. Smart TV. Tea and coffee facilities in room.

En-suite bathroom had only a sliding door that did not close properly which was not great for privacy. No hair dryer in room.

It is what is it--a couple of bedrooms in a house.

It is what it is--a couple of bedrooms in a house. But our room did have an in-suite bathroom and the water pressure was great. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. Nice and quiet. Parking was weird, but there's street parking right next to it 20 feet away. No breakfast or really anything like that, but again, it is what it is. We were only there one night and it served its purpose.

The limited check-in hours. But at least once you checked in, the host gave you a key to the front door to come and go so you could be out later. But on a big island like Isle of Skye, you had to plan around that 4 hour check-in window.

Comfortable property, but what was expected of us was not fully explained

Very clean and comfortable and superbly quiet - we got a great night's sleep.

We were a little puzzled over breakfast arrangements - what in the fridge was for us to use other that the milk and cereal and did the other things (eg strawberries) belong to our hosts or to other guests? We are used to being asked to remove walking shoes in houses, but not obviously clean ordinary shoes.

Over priced accommodation for a room in a house.

The accommodation was a room in a house which was not the way it is advertised. With this in mind it was very over priced.

Lovely, clean, and welcoming location to stay. Would definitely stay again.

The owner met us at the door. The property had 5 bedrooms and we had rented 4. The property itself was a single floor house. Beautiful and clean. We had a living room area to hang out in and a kitchen that was stocked with some essentials (water, milk, bread, butter, cereal, crackers, etc.) that the owner gave us permission to enjoy. The property also had a backyard area but we did not spend time there. There were 3 parking spots in front of the house. There was a mudroom by the front door where we were told to leave our shoes. Slippers for the house were supplied if you wanted them. 3 out of the 4 rooms had their own bathroom. There was a tea set with tea and sugar in each room. Walking distance to the main town was 5-15 minutes away based on where in Portree you wanted to go.

If I have to write something: The owner was retired, so he would kind of just walk around the exterior of the property throughout the day. Not bad, but didn't feel like we were left alone.

Noisy night, but convenient location.

The bed was comfortable. Convenient location for Portree.

Very noisy, paper thin walls. No tea and coffee facilities.

Nice B&B, very well located and wich gives lot of freedom.

The room was comfortable with a nice view The bathroom is a bit little but has everything The breakfast wasn't prepared, but we found it more handy to prepare it ourselves, thanks to the free access to the kitchen.

The room was right behind the kitchen and we could hear the early risers in the kitchen. Luckily we were up early too

Passable

Good location but the room rate is a bit higher for a guest house, may be for the peak season in July.

Room rate is much higher.

We would not recommend this venue for more than one night as there was not enough room to unpack.

Parking, location and ability to prepare our own meals.

The room was very small with no wardrobe, only a coat stand . The bathroom was minute - the sink was tiny. There was total lack of soundproofing so the occupants of the adjacent room had their tv on till midnight on two of our three nights stay and we could hear every word. There was supposed to be a 10 o’clock curfew on noise but it wasn’t reinforced.

Very basic.

it was on walking distance from the city center and in a quiet neighborhood. Selfcatering, first breakfast cafe opens at 8am (be there in time cause it was fully seated within 5 minutes). Others all open at 8:30 or even 9:00. local hotels don’t take in visitors for breakfast only. Or buy your breakfast and eat in the kitchen of the house

the mattress was longer than the bed so you could not tuck in your duvet because it didn’t have a tuck in strip and was not very long. For people who don’t need that you’d be fine. No bathmath. You had to take of shoes at the entrance but I’m traveling with 70+ who are not that agile anymore and we were fully loaded with our lugage.

Pleasant

The location was good. Right in the middle of Portree

The rooms are extremely small. Just one bed in the room. There was no room to move around or even open your luggage The bathrooms look like they are closets in the room. Extremely small and does not lock also

Great little Guesthouse in a good location

Short walk to town centre and main bus station Friendly and very helpful hosts Clean room with suitable ensuite Kitchen available to use if needed Breakfast cereals, spreads, bread and milk available to help yourself Lounge available if needed Price initially seemed a little steep but actually acceptable being a main hub in Skye

Could hear tv from next room but not unbearable - cant help some thin walls in a house.

Clean, comfy room. That's about it really. It was very basic but served my needs.

The bathroom was down the corridor from my room however, this is the only room without ensuit as far as I can tell. Didn't like having to take my shoes off at the front door or the fact that it's not soundproofed so there's signs telling you to be silent after 10pm

Very good

Kitchen is available for customers and they provide extra (free) cereals, milk, jam etc.. Good location for Skye tour, also walking distance to center, pubs etc..

It was a bit odd to take of our shoes at building entrance and walk to the room and kitchen area with socks (we do the same at our own place but this is a guest house). Thin walls, almost no sound insulation. We had a private bathroom but it was outside of the room, be aware 1 of the rooms is like this, rest has internal bathroom/wc.

Very small bedroom. Decor not updated. Minimal breakfast. Very little privacy.
