Skye at its best! Making memories that count.
This property is the perfect location and was extremely beautiful. Stoirm surpassed all of our expectations. Imagine sitting on the back deck with a clear view of Portree across the harbor and Old Man Storr in the distance, but no doubt to the rock formation. Dunvegan is about 35 minutes away, and Kilt Rock was about the same. This home is just lovely, modern and beautifully appointed. There is a full size washer/dryer, which was handy as we were already 8 days into our trip to Scotland, the 3rd city we had stayed in so far. I would not hesitate to stay here again. We had 4 of the best nights of our 12 day vaca. Thanks to our hosts who provided the perfect location for us to make memories that will always be etched in our hearts.

Lovely place and perfect location
Outstanding view and great location if you are planning to explore Skye. Space is super conformance and very clean. Owners are in every detail and they even left a welcome “something” for us. Place is exactly as shown in picture and sunsets are the best part. The rent process was super smooth and excellent communication. If you are looking for an amazing stay in Skye… look no more. Highly recommend this place!

Perfect place for relaxation and exploration
We loved this place. Our group of four was made up of two adult couples, and it was the perfect set-up for us. The view out the living room is world class, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and comfortable. The hosts were great. They created a professional flyer (one of them must be a graphic artist) with all the information we needed. It including information about the house, and ideas for how to spend our time on Skye. David was highly responsive to emails. I asked a few questions and he got back to me very very quickly. It was appreciated. The house is the country side across he bay from Portree, so the view is wonderful. It's about an 8 minute drive to town. It's about 25 minutes to Old Man Storr, if you want to do that classic hike. Everyone in our group gives this five stars and recommends it to anyone interested in spending some time on Skye.

Excellent across the board
Sky in the wonderful sunshine was fabulous.... but this property put the icing on our cake. The views from the sun deck were first class, the house & amenities everything you could need. I'd certainly consider a repeat visit.
