Modern and spacious, although out of town & need car was a fantastic place to stay and highly recommended. View's great and in peak tourist season it's your own private and quiet part of paradise

This was the perfect place to stay in Skye!! We were located a short drive away from Portree and enjoyed the stunning views of the water and town from afar and beautiful living space. I was traveling with my parents and they especially enjoyed the board games and puzzles available for rainy days and the lovely kitchen. It was everything we needed for our trip and more!

"Beautiful stoirm"Serene, modern and beautiful, this hideaway was amazing. In addition to being super clean it was nicely equipped and thoughtfully furnished along with many amenities for a comfortable stay. Aisling was our host and was helpful and timely with her communication. We felt very welcome.It is about a 7-10 minute drive from town and the quiet and semi-remote location had an incredible view of the town from across Loch Portree.The beds and adjoining en suites were comfortable and roomy. I would highly recommend storim as an excellent choice for 2-4 people.This would be my first choice if and when we returned to the Isle of Skye.

Stoirm was an amazing house in a perfect location with wonderful views. It had everything we needed & was in a very peaceful location but a close drive to sights & shopping. We would definitely stay again & recommend to other guests.

Our stay here was perfectly timed in the middle of our trip, giving us the peaceful place to rest and recharge...not to mention wash clothes. It's modern with all amenities, beautiful and with tremendous views. All we would add would be a couple of hammocks and it would be perfect. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Stoirm is a lovely home - well designed, immaculately clean, and furnished with everything one could need. It is located across the loch from Portree, with a beautiful view away from the tourist crowds. Aisling and David describe it perfectly on the VRBO website and in their introductory guide to Stoirm and the area.

We adored Stoirm! Sitting in the living room or on the patio and taking in the spectacular views is a memory that will stick with me. The house is cozy and extremely functional, had everything we needed, and everyone slept great. The setting is very quiet and tranquil, yet just a short drive from Portree (and Sligachan, Trottenish, etc). We saw deer, heard beautiful birdsong and lambs bleating, and watched the sun set over the bay. Highly recommended and we would love to come back again!

Our family had an amazing stay at Stoirm. The house is modern and beautifully designed with plenty of sunlight and spectacular views of Isle of Skye. There was more than enough space for 4 people, the amenities were complete, all the basic necessities you needed for the stay was provided. We loved that the hosts even provided us with complimentary wine and sweet treats. We always looked forward to coming home at the end of the day after our hikes and sightseeing. The location was also perfect, very close to Portree. The hosts also gave us a detailed packet on instructions for check in, check out and all the amenities in the house. This place is a gem and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Isle of Skye. Thank you David and Aisling.

This is an amazing property located minutes from Portree, yet extremely private and spa like! Views of the harbor including rainbows are magical. Highly recommend!

This property is the perfect location and was extremely beautiful. Stoirm surpassed all of our expectations. Imagine sitting on the back deck with a clear view of Portree across the harbor and Old Man Storr in the distance, but no doubt to the rock formation. Dunvegan is about 35 minutes away, and Kilt Rock was about the same. This home is just lovely, modern and beautifully appointed. There is a full size washer/dryer, which was handy as we were already 8 days into our trip to Scotland, the 3rd city we had stayed in so far. I would not hesitate to stay here again. We had 4 of the best nights of our 12 day vaca. Thanks to our hosts who provided the perfect location for us to make memories that will always be etched in our hearts.

Outstanding view and great location if you are planning to explore Skye. Space is super conformance and very clean. Owners are in every detail and they even left a welcome “something” for us. Place is exactly as shown in picture and sunsets are the best part. The rent process was super smooth and excellent communication. If you are looking for an amazing stay in Skye… look no more. Highly recommend this place!

We loved this place. Our group of four was made up of two adult couples, and it was the perfect set-up for us. The view out the living room is world class, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and comfortable. The hosts were great. They created a professional flyer (one of them must be a graphic artist) with all the information we needed. It including information about the house, and ideas for how to spend our time on Skye. David was highly responsive to emails. I asked a few questions and he got back to me very very quickly. It was appreciated. The house is the country side across he bay from Portree, so the view is wonderful. It's about an 8 minute drive to town. It's about 25 minutes to Old Man Storr, if you want to do that classic hike. Everyone in our group gives this five stars and recommends it to anyone interested in spending some time on Skye.

Sky in the wonderful sunshine was fabulous.... but this property put the icing on our cake. The views from the sun deck were first class, the house & amenities everything you could need. I'd certainly consider a repeat visit.

We would highly recommend a stay at Stoirm. We had an amazing 4 day break, the views are amazing looking over the bay to Portree. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well equipped. It was so peaceful, the perfect place if you want to go for a relaxing break. Will definitely be returning.

We travelled from West Lothian to enjoy our week in Skye, with the directions provided it was very easy to find Storm and when we arrived, the house was warm and cosy and welcoming with everything spotlessly clean. The bottle of wine in the cooler and the biscuits were much appreciated. Stoirm is very well equipped with everything we needed, including a 55” smart TV and is furnished to a high standard, so we quickly settled in to enjoy our week in Skye. The views from the living room are fantastic and when the weather was less than inviting, rather than brave the elements we were happy to relax with a glass of wine, read a book, listen to music, watch TV or surf the internet as the Wi-Fi speeds were very good TV . When the weather was clearer, the views are spectacular and we did spent a great deal of time enjoying them. As it turned out, the weather wasn’t too bad for November and we managed to get to all the places we had planned to and enjoy the stunning beauty of Skye including the Fairy Pools, Kilt Rock and Neist Point, attractions we hadn’t visited before. The close proximity to Portree was very useful for shopping and exploring down at the harbour area and is an ideal base for accessing this end of the island as we have mostly stayed around Broadford during previous visits . We have rented several holiday properties in Skye over the years but Stoirm was definitely the best by far and we should have stayed longer but we do look forward to returning.

Perfect stay!

Stoirm was the perfect home for our visit to Isle of Skye, and the MacLeods were great hosts. Everything is as shown in the photos and better, and one small issue with the dryer was handled quickly. The views across the bay to Portree are amazing. It was our favorite we stayed during our 2 week vacation to Scotland. We will be back!
