The property was exceptionally clean and the attention to detail was incredible. The decor and furnishings were very high quality which made it very homely. Very comfortable. Stunning views from the window. Great location- just a 15 minute walk into Portree.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Walk Up. The place was a home-away-from-home. Always nice and warm- even when it was snowing outside! Wifi was great, I was able to work remotely. About a 15 minute walk from Portree village but was absolutely fine. Richard was great at communicating, we were very sad to leave.

Wonderful hosts. I won't go into detail as to not advertise the service we got as an exception. We had a minor hiccup that would have interfered with our plans and Richard went out of his way to help save the day.
We can't think of anything that we missed in the apartment and the bed was super comfy.

Truly a home away from home. Very clean and well appointed apartment in the top floor of the home of a quiet yet helpful hosts. I loved looking around at the collection of small art pieces. The spaces showed an appreciation for simplicity and comfort. We would recommend The Walk Up to friends.
It is a bit of a jaunt into town, and driving and parking in Portree during August is not easy with all of the tourists. Still, I would say the spacious comfort of the apartment outweighed the location.
9.0 / 10.0
This is such a cute place, well-appointed and comfortable with everything you would need. We particularly appreciated the heater downstairs for quickly drying wet coats and boots, and the comfortable bed, blankets, and towels. There is great light and beautiful views of the Portree area through big windows. The location is excellent, with an easy walk into town for dinner or drinks. Richard was welcoming and helpful.
No complaints! We would definitely stay there again if we ever return to Skye.

Very well presented, spacious and private. Nicely fitted out with good quality amenities and good information regarding the area and attractions. The kitchen area was well equiped, so much so that we self catered and enjoyed a few evenings in.
Loved the heated towel rails.
Once we’d got the hang of the driveway and entrance to the road it was super, with excellent parking on site.

We loved everything about it. We were just bowled over with all the care and attention to detail that went into making the accommodation feel like home. The views from the loft windows are amazing. Great location, easy walk to Portree square.
Clare and Richard could not have been nicer and went above and beyond to make our trip a success.
Our stay was the highlight of our Scotland trip and we would definitely recommend it!

The host downstairs is kind, gracious and will help with whatever you need. Easy to find and good parking. The small kitchenette is well stocked and the living room has books on the local area. The shower was amazing, probably the best shower we had on our month long trip. Great location for sightseeing even though the weather wasn't cooperating. We still were able to see the dinosaur footprints! So cool!
Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable. It was on the smaller side and also jiggled about whenever we moved. Not sure if it was because of the bedframe or the mattress. (We are both average size height/weight )But we didn't sleep much the two nights we were there.😢

We have been in the UK for 9 weeks and the Walk up is our 20th stay so we plenty of others to compare it with! The Walk Up was exceptional and definitely our favourite so far!! Beautifully fitted out with everything you could possibly need and each item worked perfectly!! Loved the beautiful furnishings, crisp clean linen & towels. It was helpful that the user guides were available for the TV, microwave & cooktop. Our hosts left us milk, local beer, tea, coffee (loved the coffee sachets) and some sweet treats. The apartment is in a brilliant position to explore the Isle of Skye and a very short drive from centre of Portree. We felt very comfortable & private. Would definitely recommend to other Aussies!!
There was nothing to dislike.

Great space, plenty of room, very clean. Can't fault the facilities provided. Loved the towels!
Very close to town centre
Felt very private even though it's above the owners residence
Photos matched reality!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Isle of Skye is magnificent, and this is a place I would happily recommend as a base to explore the island.
Nothing - all good

We loved our stay at the Walk-up. We spent 21 day traveling in Ireland and Scotland and this accommodation was by far our favorite. It was very modern, well stocked to cook, comfortable bed, and immaculately clean. It was nice to have on site parking and was located conveniently to the town center, but far enough away to be quiet and private. Our host Richard and his wife were very helpful In making suggestions of things to do and places to eat. They were available if we had questions but also allowed us our privacy. I highly recommend this property if you have the opportunity to visit the Isle of Skye!
I am being honest when I say nothing. Our three day stay couldn't have been more enjoyable!

The location was convenient for exploring the Isle of Skye, it was only a 10-minute drive to the Old Man of Storr. Communication with the host was excellent, providing information of how to get in the apartment, and how to lock/unlock the door (which was a bit tricky). The apartment was spacious and comfortable. We would recommend this place to others, and would gladly stay here on a future trip. The price was a bit steep compared to other places we stayed on our Scotland road trip, but it's my understanding that it is due to the high demand for accommodations on the Isle of Skye in general.

This is a lovely property. Very clean and had everything you need for a stay in Skye. A 15 minute walk into the Centre of Portree. Good parking facilities which is a bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.
More towels to be provided as one bath towel for 3 days isn’t enough. There was a musty smell in the bathroom so maybe drains need freshening up.

Location to Portree and to hikes in the area was great!
The bed was very firm for us - which is a total personal preference and not a negative reflection on the host or the property.

The apartment was spacious and thoughtfully designed for comfort and practicality, affording privacy and lovely views of the surroundings. Self catering was a breeze in the well appointed kitchen and parking available at the property. Location was also excellent for Portree and as a jumping point for all of Skye’s attractions. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and lounge and a great shower, our stay was beyond our expectations!
Nothing!

We loved our stay at the Walk-Up. The apartment has stunning views of mountains and the surrounding countryside. It was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was quiet and peaceful, yet only a short drive away from the centre of Portree. It made a perfect base for exploring Skye. Highly recommended.
Can't fault it.

The location was excellent and the flat was spotless and smelled amazing! The bathroom was top notch! Definitely the best on our 3 week trip around the UK. Our host was so kind as well. He left out some local beers which was such a great touch.
Can't think of a single thing to complain about.
