The view was outstanding! We watched stars at night, sunrises in the morning and seals playing in the water all from the comfort of our bed. A truly stunning property, welcome host and great location for exploring Skye. Walking distance to Portree and all amenities even though it feels like you are living in a secluded bay all on your own. Would 100% recommend a stay here. Thank you Angela & Neil.
United KingdomAmazing place and location, host was fantastic, highly recommended for a romantic getaway
United KingdomAmazing views, beautiful wee house, equipped and decorated to such a high standard. It made for the perfect getaway. We loved lighting the wood fire burner and looking out at the sea. Angela was so helpful, filled us with lots of recommendations as well as leaving some fresh smoked salmon, brie, oatcakes and the local misty isle gin to sample - top class. We cant wait to return to Skye & wouldn’t stay anywhere else but here. Thank you. Hannah & Phil
United KingdomExceptional from start to end. The host went out of their way to make us feel at home. The property is simply stunning, beautifully designed and couldn’t be in a better location. If you’re into design, aesthetics and want amazing scenery- this one’s for you! Literally don’t think you’ll find better on Skye.
United KingdomIt was simply amazing! Nothing can be improved. I can't wait I can come back. Angela was so sweet and so welcoming that we felt as we were visiting an old friend.
FinlandThe view of the bay was incredible Decor was wonderful Bed/mattress super comfy Various free extras provided e.g. Nespresso machine and unlimited coffee pods, snacks in fridge, welcome Gin and tonic, chocolate.
United KingdomThe property is set up in stunning location in skye.. Everything is so perfect and the house is so tastefully done with superior quality products. We wish we can redo our home similar to this home. The host is amazing and we were welcomed on arrival even at 10:30 pm. Angela made us comfortable by providing all the information on Day 1 and is she is such a lovely host.. We will visit skye again and if only we get a successful booking at this property :)
United KingdomEverything was just perfect. Highly recommend this place, the price is slightly higher than average, but the experience would be way above average. Neil and Angela are so kind, I can feel the hospitality during my trip.
United KingdomPlenty of goodies left for us to enjoy and nothing was too much trouble for our host. This is a beautiful property with stunning views. Highly recommend it

Air an Oir is a purpose built, secluded, one bed-roomed property offering luxury self catering accommodation with uninterrupted panoramic sea views in Portree, Isle of Skye. The cottage is tucked away on a crag overlooking the sea at the end of a long private drive. Being in Portree, the main town on the Isle of Skye, it benefits from being within walking distance to shops, restaurants and other services, yet its location also offers guests with frequent sightings of otters, seals, sea-eagles and other wildlife. We have a nightly visit from a pine marten with some guests seeing it at our feeder in the early evening. Built of Siberian larch, highly insulated and with large treble glazed windows to maximise views, Air an Oir has been designed to very high standards and has a contemporary coastal interior design theme.
The Isle of Skye has spectacular scenery coupled with a rich culture and heritage. There are fantastic places to see and visit and superb restaurants and hotels offering some of the freshest seafood in Scotland. Wildlife abounds! Portree has a nice mix of shops and restaurants easily reached by walking (20mins) or by car (3 mins). It is the main fishing port in the north west of the island and fishing boats landing their catch can usually be seen around 9pm each evening. The bountiful seas around the island ensure that the best quality sea food can be served in restaurants such as Scorrybreac, Cuchullin, and Dulse & Brose in Portree, as well as other establishments around the island. The Three Chimneys, Lochbay and Kinloch Lodge, all acclaimed restaurants are within an hours' drive. Edinbane Lodge is a recent favourite for fine dining. There are picturesque geological features to explore such as the old Man of Storr (15mins), Cuillin mountains (15 mins), Quiraing (30mins), Kilt Rock (20 mins) and Fairy Pools (30mins). Talisker Distillery (Whisky) and Misty Isle Distillers Gin School are also nearby.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
