Perfect stay in Portree

Great house, just a short 5 minute walk to city center. Clean and Spacious. Incredible view. Pictures were accurate. Would stay here again. Next time I would get donuts at McKenzies Bakery everyday.....they were amazing!

Wonderful in every way!

Our stay at Skye Bay was wonderful! The home has all the comforts of home, plus an incredible view of the morning sunrise over Loch Portree and the Isle of Raasay! Spectacular!! The washer and dryer came to very good use, and the bedding and living accommodations were very comfortable. It’s one of the most pleasant places we’ve ever stayed and highly recommend it. The home is situated perfectly in a charming town and an easy ride to all the island’s wonderful adventures!

Loved it!

We had a great time here and loved the property! The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was there, and more! The only trouble we had was figuring out how to open and lock the door - it often took a few minute before getting it, but that could be because our door handles are different in Canada and we had to figure the tricks out. Had a tricky time finding the place in the dark when we arrived, but it's right across from a small fire station (there was no noise or anything) on the corner so if you know that, it's easy to find. Was very quiet, comfortable and would highly recommend it! We would go back in a heartbeat!!

Amazing

Everything about this place was fantastic! My wife and I stayed here for the few days before and after our wedding and couldn’t have asked for anything better. We had all of our services (hair, makeup, photographers, cake etc) come by to the house as well and the size of the house didn’t make anything feel cramped. We’d definitely return

Amazing

This place was fantastic. We stayed here with our entire family for a few days before and after our wedding on Skye and loved it. The size was fanatic for all of the vendors to come do their thing (hair, makeup, photographers etc) while us being able to still work around. Such a short walk into town and an incredible view of the loch. We would come back

Will be back

This is the 2nd time we stayed, fantastic location and the house is brilliant value for money. Only one thing I would change, the beds downstairs when you move make a terrible ratling, when you have two children who constantly move about in their sleep, they are very noisy. But other than that was great. 🙂

Lovely stay on Skye Bat

Loved this house with plenty of room for all 6 of us. The view was beautiful, location perfect and the little added touches to decorate the house were perfect for feeling at home. They even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! Would definitely come back to Skye Bay!
