A fantastic location and really lovely apartment. Had a great stay and would love to stay again.

Frances Australia

Lovely location looking over harbor. Restored, cozy, beautiful old house above charity shop. Comfy beds, quality linen & toiletries. Fully stocked fireplace. TV, WIFI, washer and dryer. Nice breakfast supplies, coffee & tea, oatmeal, 2 kinds of milk, OJ and bottle of wine.

Carla United States

Everything- the view, the apartment design, fully stacked and functional kitchen. It’s just perfect.

Mukul India

The apartment looked just like the pictures. It's very clean and nicely decorated. The beds/bedding were super comfy! The apartment was very quiet at night and you can't beat the location. If we had a question, Hazel responded very quickly. It was nice to do laundry in the middle of our trip.

Karen Ireland

Overall the apartment is done up very nicely. The kitchen and upstairs areas were great. The beds were very comfortable and the linen fresh and clean. The host had provided a hamper with all the basics we needed to keep us going and make our stay comfortable- thank you, this was a lovely touch. Exceptional location with some of Portree’s best restaurants on your doorstep.

Surita United Kingdom

Great central location for exploring Skye. Comfortable and warm.

Alison United Kingdom

Big and spacious. Beautifully kitted out. Nice communal living room with wood burner, handy for a cozy evening. We travelled as a family (couple and 1 year old) but would definitely consider coming back as a group of 6 friends

Matt United Kingdom

In a postcard area, comfortable for our family of 6, amazing views! Very clean & well built home.

Melanie Australia

Härligt inredd lägenhet precis nere i hamnen i mysiga Portree.

Malena Sweden

This home was AMAZING! Beautiful view, wonderfully decorated! I loved sitting by the window drinking my coffee in the morning while watching the boats in the harbor. The kitchen was super charming and well stocked. We appreciated all the treats and goodies!!! It was psrticularly convenient to have the clothes dryer. The bathrooms were great, especially the one with the heated floor and giant soaking tub - perfect for cooler early mornings or after a day hiking. The beds were like sinking into a cloud. It fit our family of five perfectly. One if my favorite stays ever!

Hello, we are Hazel and Ophelia (my daughter), we love to run our small 4 & 5 star luxury Apartments in the Hebrides! It is a small family business, and we are helped by amazing friends and staff. We keep it small so we can concentrate on quality and great customer service with all the luxury and attention to detail you would expect. We have been offering award winning accommodation since the last century. We love meeting people and welcoming people to our beautiful Island and properties on Skye
The centre of life in Portree has to be its harbour. This is in a superb natural setting, being surrounded by high ground and cliffs. The peninsula to the south is unflatteringly known as "The Lump", and once provided a spectacular setting for public hangings on the island. Today the harbour continues to be used by fishing boats, but is also home to other vessels, from pleasure craft to the lifeboat. Built around the harbour at harbourside level are a range of buildings which have featured in more than one calendar photograph down the years. The run of brightly painted buildings down the south-west side is especially striking; but for us, the natural stone and whitewashed buildings on the north-west side are even more attractive. The main town of Portree lies above and behind the harbour. The main focus is Somerled Square, home to the mercat cross and war memorial, some car parking, and most of the bus stops in the town. Much of the shopping is to be found in the roads leading from Somerled Square towards the harbour: and Wentworth Street offers a range of those "interesting but not essential" shops that make any visit worthwhile.
