Perfect Place to Stay While you Explore Skye

Everything was amazing. The location is absolutely stunning and less than a 5 minute walk to the town centre. There's plenty of room and all of the amenities were great and perfect for a week long stay. The staff were also amazing - if there was any issue they could be contacted and were straight onto it to make sure the stay was as good is it possibly could be.

There is nothing negative at all that can be said about this place.

Ideal stay in this perfect place!

Perfect location for a walk in town and in the bay. Portree is central to go to any visiting sites : Old Man of Storr, Quiraing, Talisker,… The house was ideal for our group of 8! Maybe one of the best place we have stayed so far!!

With appliance instructions, chests of drawers and a coffee table could have been perfect.

Great house conversion to large dining/sitting room ideal for large holiday group. Quiet and fantastic view of Portree bay and only 2 minutes walk into shopping/pub area.

Style over substance. Bedrooms have no wardrobe and some have no furniture with drawers either so you will live out of a suitcase. Almost no storage in kitchen either would be a problem if stay more than a few days. Bath in bedroom looks flash but no shower attachment and plug doesn't hold water! No instructions at property or in email for oven, extractor fan, condenser dyer, wood stove and ceiling speakers. Oven and extractor are techy. They work very well - fantastic induction hob - but you will spend 15mins figuring out how to turn them on. Dryer also good but be aware it will switch off when water container full. Fridge also great but, as condenser dryer, it is not plumbed in so you will need to refill water reservoir by hand. Wood stove instructions are for an entirely different stove. Despite having a wood stove at home we couldn't keep this one alight for more than 15 mins. Luckily we were not visiting in winter. Ceiling speakers are touted as "my favourite part" but again no instructions and no remote control so didn't work.

We hope to be back. A gem of a property.

plenty of space for us all and didn’t feel cramped at all even with the 8 of us. the washing machine and tumble dryer were an added bonus. brilliant location in Portree. friendly locals.

We personally weren’t keen on the toilet in one of the main bedrooms but that was purely personal preference. some drawers in the bedrooms would have been good too.

A gem in the Isle of Skye. We will definitely visit again ! Simply beautiful !

The location, the property and the ease with which we managed to get there. The instructions provided by the hosts were very detailed and clear. We loved every minute of our stay there. The apartment was well maintained and clean. They hosts gave us complimentary wine which was a very nice surprise. The kitchen was complete with working and clean appliances and cookware. Very thoughtfully designed.

The water pressure in the showers was very low. We couldnt use the shower in the bathroom downstairs due to the lack of water pressure from the showerheads.

Instructions for television were out of date for the remote control which had been replaced. The television system was temperamental but Ben came and sorted it twice.

We had a lovely week in this beautiful cottage - a real home from home.

The view was lovely, and we were very comfortable there. The cottage is well designed and well equipped.

The wifi worked but the internet connection was really poor for most of our week - I don't think the owners could have done anything about that though. There were also no baking trays in the kitchen (I bought a couple so that we could have pizza and I could make scones!).

Short walk to town and nice sea view but appearance and quality slightly disappointing.

Convenient location for a short walk into Portree. Pleasant view across the bay. Spacious and well equipped.

The external condition of the property is not great; the decking and main entrance door feel a bit tatty and the gardens are not very well kept. Whilst the location is close to the town centre and there is a nice view across the water, the immediate environment of the property is not that great with a fire station immediately opposite. Whilst clean, our bathroom floor vinyl tiles were peeling and unsightly. The en-suite bathroom has no door from the bedroom. The double beds are standard doubles so cramped compared with what we're used to. The property had the feel of having had a cheap and cheerful internal makeover and the overall finish and quality was well below the other two properties we stayed at on our Highland trip.

Enjoyable stay at the skye bay, we will always remember the great view from the property

Sky bay is a very spacious and well appointed property. We really enjoyed the view of the bay from the main bedroom in the morning especially when the sun was shining. The veranda was equally great for breakfast with a view or having a sundowner. There was more space than we needed for a family of four and we had our choice of bedrooms. The beds was very comfortable and the bathrooms were very modern and clean. Generally the finishing's and furnishings were all good quality and the kitchen facilities were great.

The first thing we noticed on entering the property was a very strong smell of cat pee - mainly under and around the stairs. It started to reduce after we aired the property but was still evident, and spoiled the enjoyment of the property a little. The only other slight annoyance was the wifi which didn't seem to work despite various efforts to connect. However I decided not to contact the host about it as it meant I could keep the kids off their devices, which made for some better family time!! Oh Yes the sky box is very slow and doesnt like to obey instructions. This may be due to the fact that it is in the cupboard which didnt help it receive signals from the controller. I have the same sky box myself and do not experience these troubles at home so maybe one to thing to consider relocating. Admit Im being quite picky here as we really enjoyed this comfortable property and these are suggestions for improvements rather than major criticisms

Beautiful location. Lovely property & helpful host.

The house has beautiful views. Its open plan living & dining was great for a family of all ages meaning you can all be together whilst going different things. Portree is a friendly little village. All in all (and despite the weather) a great time was had by all.

We had a few small issues with the property but the host couldn't have been more helpful and acted very quickly to resolve the issues.

Very enjoyable and great facilities

Location was good. Interior of the house was lovely and clean.

WC cistern in the bedroom with the bath constantly ran so disturbed sleep. Was advised there were sticks and logs for the fire. Not enough for even one night so had to go out to buy more. Would be useful to either provide more or say bring own.
