Best home base for exploring Skye! Give yourself at least three days, you will not regret it.

This is about as good as it gets for location in Portree. Its not an exageration to describe the location as iconic with a beutiful harbor veiw. The home was clean, comfortable and larger than I had expected. The Host was very responsive to any questions I had, which is comforting when so far from home. You are in walking distance from anythig you could possibly need, and dont skip taking a short walk up "The Lump" behind the property for breath taking views.

I have nothing bad to report on our stay. David was a wonderful host and I look forward to returning some day.

Really loved it. Great little place.

Location is amazing. Views incredible. Portree is a wonderful town. The apartment is well laid out and easy to manage.

Just a few minor issues. You are directly above a restaurant (very good fish by the way!) but they need to fix their door. When it banged shut it shook the whole apartment! One landing cupboard door was lying detached from its frame (I am sure it won't be when you go). The autumn leaves on the tiny patio had obviously been left unswept for some time. But, there was a brush so I did it! So really there is nothing to put you off! Just go!

Our stay in Skye was exceptional, made perfect with our accommodation. The view onto the harbour front was beautiful.

Enjoyed the close proximity to shops and other restaurants.

Location very good.

The bathroom facilities are not easy accesable, as it is downstairs. Not suited for older couples. Furniture old and rooms not comfortable.

Highlight of our Scottish trip

Location amazing view and close to restaurants and shops. Well appointed apartment. Parking we were lucky to snag a spot on the harbour road one day, if no parks a long term carpark not far away. Try the takeaway fish and chips underneath the appartments

Perfect place for Isle of Skye visit.

Perfect location to explore Isle of Skye! The flat was very nice and clean. Lovely view of the harbour. The beds were very comfortable. This was a lovely place to stay and I would highly recommend it. Very close to cafes and restaurants in Portree. Throughout the day the street below is busy as it’s on the little street with the colourful houses by the harbour and a lot of tourists come down here. This was not an issue as it got quiet after 11pm and we were out most of the day. We were able to park in the very small street outside for both nights that we stayed.

We were three guests so it would have been nice to have a hand towel each for the bathroom rather than just two. Early morning noise from the commercial street bin lids being slammed or perhaps it was from work on the building next door. This would not put me off staying again though.

Tired apartment below standard

As other guests have mentioned, the property is musty. Mould was in the 2nd bedroom. Apartment not modern its a 70's tired property. Moss covered stairs & patio. Misleading. Avoid. Better value else where.

That the property was to the standard it was advertised. Host invalidates the experience.

NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

Location and view.

First impressions were not good. The steps leading to the front door of the property were dirty and covered in moss, an obvious slip hazard. The hedge to the right of the steps was overgrown and, as it had been raining, caused one's clothes to get wet when entering the property. Small patio area was dirty, leaf-strewn and looked neglected. On entry to the flat, the property smelled musty. In kitchen, there were no means by which to make a hot drink. No coffee, no sugar, not even a pint of milk left in fridge as a gesture of welcome and goodwill. I had to go to the supermarket immediately upon arrival after a long journey to Skye to pick up basics of milk sugar tea and coffee. The cleaning cloth by the sink was covered in food debris and we put it in the bin immediately and bought new ones. I've never had that experience in any property I have stayed in over the years. There were 3 of us staying for 2 nights in the property. 3 very poor quality bath towels were provided and only 2 hand towels. When I enquired of the owner if we could have any more I was met with a firm No as he was not in Scotland and his cleaners were unable to provide them. On the subject of his cleaners, the entire flat needed a more thorough clean. In the single bedroom I slept in there were crumpled used tissues and discarded sachets by the small bin in the room, evidence that it had had only the most superficial clean before our arrival. In summary, this property gives off an impression of neglect and lack of maintenance. Certainly not worth the £513 I paid for 2 nights stay. A disheartening experience in all. To crown the dismal experience, after we had left the property and were on our travels, I received a bizarre message from the owner asking me where the wi-fi information was. On entry to the property the wifi info was in a small frame hung on the wall in the sitting room. We never touched it and it was exactly where it had been when we departed the flat.

Idyllic view in Portree.

Really great location! Right above restaurants and the harbor. The sunset picture was from the bedroom window!

They were still doing renovations harbor side, so very limited parking.

Over priced, not maintained, dirty

The ease of check-in and the location were great.

For the price of this property, it was very poorly maintained. Upon arrival, we had to walk over piles of trash just to get to the stairs. While that may not be the host’s fault, it was extremely unpleasant to come and go while passing such smelly garbage each time. Once we arrived at the flat, we were greeted by stained, dirty carpet — honestly, it was pretty disgusting. I messaged the host about the mildew around all the bedroom windows, and instead of addressing the concern professionally, he mocked me and replied, “Did you lift the carpet too?” It was clear he was irritated because I mentioned the trash situation as well. For the price we paid, you would expect basics like shampoo and soap, but there was none provided. The furniture in the TV room was extremely old and gross — you can see the photos I posted for reference. The beds only had a bottom sheet (no top sheet), and there was hair in my daughter’s bed when we arrived. Overall, this place is extremely overpriced and very dirty. We had to wash all the flatware before using it, and there were crumbs from previous guests still in the trays. The baseboards — and honestly most of the house — clearly need a deep cleaning and better maintenance. The owner tried to claim my comments were “untrue,” but I have plenty of photos to back up everything I’m saying. The listing photos are very deceiving. On top of everything, the towels provided were old, rough, and very unpleasant to use. I would not stay here again and would not recommend this property.

Perfect location, and the ideal base for exploring the Isle of Skye and Portree.

Ideal location in Portree, and easily walkable to the towns restaurants and bars. Stunning views, and all the facilities you could want.

You can sometimes hear the restaurant downstairs, but they close fairly early so not really an issue.

The view was great. Easy to get into and thankful for the directions given by the owner.

parking...This location didn't include breakfast. Missed soap products for the shower/bath. I probably miss understand but thought there were 3 beds but was a double with a twin in another room.

It was neat to stay in one of the colored houses in Portree, but the unit was disappointing.

The location was great! Also, the host provided detailed instructions including pictures prior to arrival to make sure we were able to access the property.

The unit did not seem clean. The floors did not appear to have been vacuumed prior to our arrival. The only bathroom smelled like pee and there appeared to be dried pee on the side of the bathtub (perhaps from a pet?). The thermostat and radiator had warnings not to touch them, but they were switched off while it was in the 50s degrees Fahrenheit so we were freezing the whole time. The only bathroom was on the first level while all bedrooms were on the second level, which was manageable but not ideal. The bedroom has an east-facing window, and the window shade was very thin and red. I woke up at 4:30am to a room blazing with red light (sun rises VERY early in late June) and found it hard to sleep. The internet worked well for our first day, but did not work the second day.

Superb

Wonderful location with wide range of restaurants suiting all budgets on doorstep. Wonderful views and good ree parking available. Accommodation was very comfortable for maximum of 3 people.would definitely recommend.

There are steps leading to duplex apartment and internal steps up to single and double bedroom . No problem for us but I would imagine difficult for people with mobility problems.

Great apartment

Great apartment with great views of Portree bay. Parking was a bit of challenge but you just have to know you'll likely need to be on lookout for parking spaces.

Because you're in downtown area - be aware you might hear people outside in the night.
