Great spot just outside downtown Portree. Everything was very walkable. Our hosts were so gracious and even stocked the fridge with essentials. The place is private and comfortable. Would recommend. Thank you!

Great location. The property had everything to make you feel like you were pampered at home. The host was extremely thoughtful and had some great bread, fruit, yogurt, juice and ham. Everything was clean modern and new. Thanks for a great time on Skye.

The kitchen area is quite dark and the lighting isn’t great which made it hard to see The sink in the bathroom is tiny but understandable in a small bathroom

The property was immaculate with everything you could need. The fridge was stocked with cheese, ham, yoghurt, milk, juice and spread which was a very nice touch. There was also bread, pasta etc. Disagree with the reviews about storage - the bedroom has two wardrobes, six drawers, and cupboards above the bed. The bed can also be used for storage as it is an ottoman bed. There is also storage boxes. There is a hairdryer, straighteners, toiletries and plenty of towels. The hosts were helpful and very responsive to queries.

Everything you need for a holiday in a Bothy. Great utilities in the kitchen area which was well equipped and we made full use of it. Nice wee surprise of a welcome pack of essential foods including bread, milk, yoghurt, cheese, butter etc. Bed linen, towels, bathroom all immaculate. Lovely lounge area to chill out. Nice small sitting area outside to the front and back although we didn’t have the weather to make use of it. Parking right outside the Bothy. Great communication from host and throughout our stay with tips on ‘what is on’ in Portree. Close to town centre only a 10 minute walk.

That we weren't staying longer!!!!!!!

Hector was a great host!! Provided us with some food essentials which was a nice touch. Bothy is lovely, great location, very quiet and only a very short walk to centre of town. Our wee gift was totally unexpected, thank you!!!! Highly recommended!!!

The tiny bathroom’s sink and lack of insulation against external noises.

Well located property, easy to find, very well equipped and decorated, clean and comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and and left breakfast items, showing great kindness. Easy to park in front of the house.

The property had a very cosy feel. It was comfortable, well set up and attractively presented. Our host was very considerate in providing lunch items so we could relax upon arrival.

The cottage was clean, quiet, and well decorated. It was obvious that the owners have made extra efforts to make the interior attractive and comfortable. The location was easy to find and a 10 minute walk from the center of Portree where there are many shops and restaurants. Short drives to Storr and Quiraing and other attractions. Overall a great place to stay.

Comfortable with all the amenities. Responsive host helped the stay go smoothly. Location within walking distance to grocery store. Good location for exploring the island

Only recommendation would be to try to get rid of or reduce the mould around the window frames.

Our stay at Aaron's Bothy was lovely, we really appreciated the supplies provided and the range of amenities which were great when hiding from the rain. The property was clean and the location was great being at the edge of town (quiet) but easy to walk into the town center or to shops. Also a beautiful friendly cat nearby.

Really nice play to stay in Portree, very well located! All was functional and correct, good communication too.

The shower pressure was a bit weak but who cares.

Amazing Hector was so lovely. I would defiantly recommend this place and the fact it has a kitchen where you can heat up food is a bonus because unless you book weeks in advance you ain’t gonna get a seat at a restaurant believe me.

Aaron's Bothy is a great place to stay! Was very quiet, clean and had everything we needed to make our few days there absolutely perfect. The hosts were phenominal and we can't thank them enough for such a great experience!

Stayed in April 2024

Shower/Bathroom was small but everything functioned.

Well placed and remarkably everything fitted into a relatively small space but didn't feel too small.

Everything was great, would have loved to take the armchair with me. I missed nothing and I really appreciated how me arriving later than expected was no problem. It was a real treat to find some fresh supplies in the fridge as I didn't have to worry about that first thing in the morning as it was my first day in the UK. I also liked the emphasis on environmental friendliness and the warm welcome.

Little niggles ,one window wouldn't fully shut and trees and shrubs overhang the property meaning at this time of the year lots of spiders ! Hard to find in the dark although they tried their best to guide us ,we got there in the end and lastly ,it is not a long walk into Portree but it is very steep! Hard work if you are old or unfit .

Lovely ,clean ,modern ,nice little touches like basic groceries and a bowl of fruit

Cosy, warm, quiet and extremely well equipped. There was even food in the fridge and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. Thank you.

The bothy is very comfortable and to our big surprise had a lovely kitchen. We often stay in holiday apartments and are used to trying to make things work with a random assortment of cooking equipment and blunt knives, so this was refreshing. Everything you need was there and everything in good shape and quality. The host even left us some fresh things like bread fruit and cheese and there were staples available like oil, salt, rice, pasta, etc.. The lovely kitchen was especially great, because Skye seems to be quite touristy so going to a pub would have required waiting time. Also just so comfortable to have a nice meal at home after a day of sightseeing. Location is excellent as well. Communication was easy.

Great, cosy spot with all the amenities we needed for a stay in Portree. The kitchen had a stocked pantry and we were easily able to make meals. Hector was also lovely and had bought some provisions for us ahead of time.

We thoroughly enjoyed talking with the host . Hector was very friendly and helpful. Aaron’s Bothy is in a great location for getting to the center of Portree and to the buses. The space was very comfortable for the two of us. It is charming and has two outdoor sitting areas.

Nothing, it was perfect for me

The place had real character and Hector was really welcoming. It was not too far from town but far enough to be peaceful. I could hear birdsong in the evening. This little place really was a home away from home.

Had a fantastic 4 nights stay in Aaron's Bothy. Few minutes walk to town, very quiet, fully equiped kitchen. Aaron left some supplies for us which we really appreciated - bread, milk, yoghurt etc. Would not hesitate and book this place in an instant if we ever get back to beautiful Portree one day.
