Cairnmhor House, Portree

Cairnmhor is a delightful 4 bed, 5 minutes walk from the town centre in Portree. With beautiful views over to Ben Tianavaig and across Portree Bay you couldn't ask for a better location.

Great house for a group

We were a party of 6 and the house was just right for us. The three bathrooms were nice to have as well. It was a challenge finding the house but once we used the GPS location they provided it got us there. The house was a short walk to town for shopping or dinner. The location was a good base for touring the isle of Skye.

Nice stay on Skye

We had a great stay here. The location was fantastic, 5 minute walk to downtown. The kitchen is nice and open and the large kitchen table fit all of us. The living room had a fireplace to make it extra cozy.

Fantastic stay

Our stay at Cairnmhor was excellent. The property was stunning and better than expected. Just a 10 minute walk into Portree meant this was a fantastic location and a half our drive to most attractions on the Isle of Skye. We will definitely be back at the property and will recommend it to family and friends.

Amazing house in a perfect location - as nice as it looks in the photos

I would absolutely rent this house again. It was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the harbour and within an easy walk of town. The kitchen was well appointed (just need a large fry pan for the induction stove) and all 3 bathrooms were modern and clean. I would love to visit this house again one day.

Good stay, great location

The location of this property couldn’t be better. Quick walk right into the centre of Portree and easy access to everything Skye has to offer. The rooms are spacious but the real selling point is the kitchen and dining room. If you love board games and family meals this is definitely the place to be. Really need to think about space though as there wasn’t a lot of cupboard space in the kitchen to put food etc. But dishwasher and laundry facilities were great and tablets provided for both.
