Skye Bay

We had a great stay here! The house was very clean and perfect for our group. The location was right up the way from the town of Portree and served as an excellent hub for our exploration of Isle of Skye. And what a view!

We loved our time in Portree! This house worked very well for 3 families (two sets of grandparents stayed in the room upstairs and parents and two teenagers in the rooms downstairs). We made good use of the kitchen, played many games at the table, and loved the view and location! The house is a very short walk from town. We had all the things we needed for a very comfortable stay, I would not hesitate to book here again!

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!

The property was very close to town, 7 minute walk. Beautiful view of the bay. The property could use a different coffee pot, Nespresso or some thing similar. A few utensils missing. We cooked .

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
