    The location was awesome! Loved the view. We had all we needed in the kitchen to cook up a storm. Loved the shortcut to the scorrybreac trail. Thank you so much!

    The upstairs bedrooms had nice beds but the ones downstairs had cheap metal frames that you could hear squeak if you so much as lifted your head. They need to be upgraded. Kitchen facilities are good but there are limited cooking supplies- oil and vinegar. They give you some instant coffee or you need to go out and buy ground coffee for the French press. In this day and age, a pod coffeemaker would be expected at these prices.

    The location is great! You're at the top of the hill in Portree, so it's a steep but short walk to town. I saw elderly ladies doing it, so you can also! There plenty of parking and the convenience store is right at the bottom of the hill. The view is the best part. You look out onto Skye Bay and at the Isle of Raasay. It is truly amazing. There's a nice deck and a picnic table to have your coffee or afternoon scotch. There are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (three with a shower.) The one in the upstairs master bedroom is open and could use a curtain or something- a little strange. Everything is clean and functional. We forgot a bag there and the person checking on the property called me about it. She met us halfway to return the bag which was SUPER NICE! Great service there. Plenty of towels. I would definitely come back.

    There were a few little quirky things. The door was difficult to lock. I couldn't figure out the towel heaters or the heat in the house. It was cool downstairs and hot upstairs. You couldn't open the window because there were lots of biting little bugs. One of the upstairs rooms didn't have a a shower (Just a big tub in the room) and there was no door to the toilet, by design.

    The house was large and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the view was great. There was a large driveway to park in. We appreciated the easy to use washer and dryer. It was so easy to walk into Portree which was a big bonus because parking was a little challenging.

    Everything indoor was spotless clean. Facilities are good. Just the cooking pans are all stick and it was a pain to cook even fried egg. The back yard needs cleaning.

    Downstairs bed was decent enough but did creak a lot. A four slot toaster more suitable for the number of rooms and guests.

    Location, view, facilities, met all our needs.

    One bedroom with open toilet, would be nice if there was some sort of barrier. Toaster didn’t work and oven smelt of fat

    Communal spaces, all the bedrooms having toilets, lots of space, very good amenities for a non Hotel booking ie shower gel, shampoo etc. good sized kitchen

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

    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.

    Instructions for appliances would be helpful. Bedrooms have a lack of wardrobe space and generally storage space throughout was lacking. The kitchen needs more cooking facilities such as pizza cutter, fish slice, wooden spoons, baking trays etc. Some of the pans were covered in grease. There was no scourer to clean any utensils, only a very thin jay cloth which wasn't adequate for 4 days. The sitting area was large but there was no coffee table or side tables to put anything down. A clothes airer would be useful. One bedroom with open toilet was a bit strange and could do with some sort of barrier. We expected more for the rates we paid.

    The location was excellent close to the centre of Portree. Large sitting area with lovely views. Plenty of bathrooms and a washing machine and dryer are very handy. Shower gel and other toiletries provided. Very quiet area with free parking.

    We had some minor glitches in the kitchen but the lady looking after us was super responsive and helpful to fix issues. I think the kitchen could do with some more basics for a family stay who might eat in more eg pizza cutter, wooden spoons, we asked for a grater and it was provided however.

    Brilliant location, lovely views, lots of space and plenty of bathrooms plus washer and dryer very handy with a family.

    Instructions for appliances. We booked more bedrooms and were only allowed 3

    No breakfast. The property needs instructions on how to use the appliances.
