The first impression is not positive as there were building materials throughout the yard. The door into the kitchen was incredibly difficult to lock after we opened it. There wasn’t any WIFI and the property manager finally sent someone out to rectify things after I called twice and we only had WIFI for 40 minutes before it went out again. They came out again the next day after I repeatedly called and never listened to the voicemails I left. I liked the property it was large enough for 8 of us and the location is great, but the property manager has ignored all emails I’ve sent asking for a compensation due to the WIFI issues and us having to buy cellular data. Disappointing for sure!

This place was fantastic. We stayed here with our entire family for a few days before and after our wedding on Skye and loved it. The size was fanatic for all of the vendors to come do their thing (hair, makeup, photographers etc) while us being able to still work around. Such a short walk into town and an incredible view of the loch. We would come back

We loved this rental house. The location is perfect - easy walk to town and a stunning view. Finding it the first time was a bit tricky but after that no issues. Great easy to use kitchen and wonderful dining and living areas. Bedrooms were very comfortable and great consistently hot showers. Plus having a laundry machine and dryer was such a bonus. Would love to come back some day.

The house is comfortable and the location is perfect in Portree but this house is an home staging house and the price is really too high; some materials need to be better, for the floor for example ; some details could be improved and one problem very dangerous on the bed in a room has to be repaired

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. It was very comfortable for our group of seven and we loved the convenient location with a quick walk to the charming village of Portree. The house is equipped with everything we needed and extra points for having a dryer which our other rentals did not have. The view is spectacular and everyone we met in the neighborhood and associated with the property was friendly and helpful.

Arriving at this property, it looked like a construction zone. We hardly had room to turn in to be off the street. When I called, the property manager met us and informed us that the deck was being redone which should have been finished when we arrived, but obviously wasn't. She assured us that we would not be bothered and honestly, we were not bothered in the least after we settled in. We still should have been advised of the project prior to arriving. We found the property very clean and comfortable. We only used 2 bedrooms which we found very spacious and welcoming. We all slept very well and the en suite bathrooms were very convenient with good water pressure in the showers. The kitchen area was a bit intimidating with its jazzy modern appliances, but we figured them out without too much bother. I would suggest that kitchen utensils be better stocked with spatulas, etc. as we had to improvise. The traffic lanes around the property were very narrow and took a bit getting used to. We could walk to the harbor area easily, but there was a steep hill back to the house which was too much for a couple of us. The views from the house were beautiful - one of the advantages of being on a hill - and once we settled in, we were totally comfortable. I would stay here again (with a completed deck) and wold recommend to others.

Great house. Exactly meet the description. But note, house is located on cliff above beach, not right on beach as it seems in the pictures. The bathtub in main bedroom seems nice, but not really practical. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Loved this house with plenty of room for all 6 of us. The view was beautiful, location perfect and the little added touches to decorate the house were perfect for feeling at home. They even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! Would definitely come back to Skye Bay!

We had a wonderful stay at Skye Bay. The property was clean, spacious, and comfortable and exactly as pictured. It was a short 2 minute walk to all the attractions, shopping and restaurants in Porter and easy access to the rest of Skye. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed, including the very helpful clothes washer and dryer. Would absolutely stay again!

(+) location, u get what is mentioned in the listing, the host was kind enough to leave us a bottle of wine (we absolutely loved the gesture), the house was spick n span with plenty of towels (-) shower stalls are a tad smaller (for me it was ok, but I am sure a tall well built person may find it v tight), couldn’t find an umbrella ( we forgot to pack it and it was reqd)

We really enjoyed our stay. Amazing view, comfortable and well-appointed accommodations, a friendly, helpful, and super-responsive host. Just a great experience all around. We were happy to be out of the busiest area during the busiest month and enjoyed our short walks in and out of town. We were glad that we had booked all of our dining reservations months ago, but could easily have put a meal together and enjoyed it on the deck with that great view, kitchen was perfectly outfitted! Great all around, thank you!

Online and phone communications with property management were excellent and responsive. The location was very good, short walk to town, and the view was very nice. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. However, for 7 adults the place was very cramped. It is advertised as 5382 sq.ft. on the website. This home could not be more than 2500 sq.ft. Not sure what they were measuring, maybe the lot. There is not a coffee table or end tables in the living room, so if we were having wine/hors d'ouevres before dinner there was no place to put anything. We ended up pulling one of the benches from the dining table to the living room to set down wine glasses and plates of food if we were gathering there. Then we'd have to put the bench back. The benches and wire chairs in the dining room were uncomfortable for sitting any period of time. The kitchen is big, but has a very small table & 2 high chairs, so people had to eat in dining room if we all wanted to be together. There is no Coffee Maker! You can only make instant coffee, which no one in America drinks. We had to walk to the village every morning if you wanted real coffee. The railing on the steps leading to the kitchen door need to be attended to. They are loose and wobbly.

This property is an attached house in a great location, with parking. It was clean and comfortable. The beds are a double, two queens and twins. Bathrooms are small but very clean. The exterior is a little scruffy but for what we needed it was perfect.

Enjoyable stay at Skye Bay

Enjoyable stay at Skye Bay

Lovely place to start and explore Isle of Skye. Fast and good communnication with our host plus a lot of detailed Information regarding the Isle and Portree. Eveything was clean, the kitchen is huge and has all that was needed for a big breakfast and dinner. The cozy Living room makes the stay much more enjoyable during a rain shower. The great view over the Port was memorable. We would recommend the stay and come again.

We spent two nights at Skye Bay at the end of September and didn't want to leave!! The house has plenty of space, it's been decorated in a lovely way and the location is perfect. The kitchen is fab (everything is super high spec) and the view from it is awesome. Shout out to the team who run this, for being so great and quick on communication. I'd absolutely stay here again!

What a wonderful place to be, setting is perfect and a short walk in to Portree with many great restaurants and bars to sample. One point to not is that the bedrooms lack storage or hanging space but apart from the this is a fantastic holiday let.

Skye Bay in the Heart of Portree. Isle of Skye.

Skye Bay in the Heart of Portree. Isle of Skye.

Very spacious 4 bedroom house. Large kitchen & dining lounge. Coped with 8 adults easy. Decking area with bay view. I would recommend the cottage for 6 - 8 people. Great location for Shops. Bars & restaurants. For improvements Large master room with seaviews and a bath. There could be a shower in the room also. No door to the toilet area. No privacy when needed. The twin room downstairs needs new mattresses. As couples 4 double beds would have been good or an option to join single beds together. Well equipped kitchen utensils But No frying pan. Hedges to front door entrance need trimmed back.

The location and kitchen/lounge area were lovely and a great place for a family to socialise. The beds were comfortable and it was great to have 4 bathrooms. Our main criticism would be that there was not enough hanging space for clothes nor coat hooks near the main entrance. The view was wonderful and the weather was great! Many thanks
