The property was in excellent condition, modern and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the owners left out a ‘starter’ pack of bread, butter, milk cheese etc.Parking was good - right outside the front door.Not too far to walk into the town centre and a fab situation for exploring the island.Communication with the owner was excellent.Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Lovely, well-located place to stay

This was a wonderful stay, with great directions from Alan, extensive welcome snacks and so forth in a clean, well-designed space. Parking is easy, walking in to the center of Portree also very simple. Alan had many siggestions for what to do and lots of maps and brochures available to help with decision making. I would most definitely stay here again!

Lovely place to stay

We traveled with our daughter, who stayed in the Portree Youth Hostel. The location of the Pipers Hut was fabulous for walkjng both to the town centre and to the hostel. Alan and Megan were wonderful hosts and the studio was perfect. We only wish we had stayed for a couple more days.

Perfect Petite

This was a perfect flat for my wife and I. While overall small (as advertised), we didn't feel cramped. Clean, well organized and efficiently layed out. Plenty of hot water, great shower. We loved being able to walk into town.
