Agnes and John were always quick to reply to each message, and very helpful when we needed support. The house is one of the cleanest we’ve ever had and the view is postcard perfect! Great window to look out when at home. We definitely recommend this property and them.Pls note, as Skye is very damp, there is some dampness to adapt to. But the heating and shower worked great! And line drying clothes on a windy Scottish day is something I recommend to everyone at least once!

8.0 / 10.0

Very clean, kitchen sufficient, simple without a dish washer. Good location to explore Skye. Heating worked in the morning and evening. We needed to put the heater on, it was cold and wet. Clothing needed to dry due to heavy rain. Shower was clinical and with shower curtain. Bed linnen was clean. Upstairs, the ceilings are very low!! People taller than 1.90m will have issues. Nice views.

It is a great location for outing. The owner is super friendly and very responsive.

10.0 / 10.0

Great property. Clean, affordable, good parking. I give it a 98%. 1 point off for not having a small clothes dryer, and 1 point off for the tiny shower (clingy shower curtain made it hard to shower) but we adapted and made do. Otherwise, a great place.

10.0 / 10.0

A lovly cottage and a perfect place to start various activities (hiking, visiting castles and distilleries, trips to other islands).

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay at the cottage was truly unforgettable, exceeding all expectations. The location offered breathtaking views and tranquility, making it the perfect escape. Every detail within the cottage showcased thoughtful care and attention. We especially appreciated the warm hospitality and helpfulness of the host. Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience for our holiday.

We truly enjoyed visiting Isle of Skye for 5 days and sating in a clean, convenient location.

8.0 / 10.0

Comfortable bed with nice bed linen. We found the address a bit confusing to find. Easy parking, although the turn into driveway is tight in one direction. Lovely view. Not far from Portree. Biscuits were nice but would have preferred real milk instead of sachets that were provided. Host was responsive.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage was sparkling clean and the views of the river were beautiful. There was everything you needed to cook with available and the co-op supermarket in Portree a 5 minute drive away is more than adequate. There are two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs which is good if anyone has mobility issues. Everything worked perfectly including the heating, WiFi and shower. Tip: look out for the sign that says "Deas Graemar Croft no 4 Crepigill" by the road and keep driving, then you'll see the River View Cottage sign.

10.0 / 10.0

The River View Cottage on The Isle of Skye in very beautiful surroundings. It is remote and quiet, but easily accessible from the main road A850. The cottage is very clean with a wonderfully appointed kitchen for those who enjoy their home cooking. Turn left from the driveway on A850 and it's a 7 minute drive to Portree, with a large CO OP supermarket that carries a selection equal to a large city market. We will definitely stay in this cottage again, should we plan a 4th vacation to Skye.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was perfect for us. The location is very good, you can reach all interessting spots in a moderate time. The communication with the owner was very good. I hope we can come back soon!

10.0 / 10.0

This traditional Croft cottage was well apportioned and has a picturesque location. The kids Chen was well well stocked with the necessary pots, plates, etc. The only suggestion we had would be to increase the signage for the property on the road, by at least 20 times. The driveway is shared with a neighbor and the sign is easily overlooked. However, signage aside, you couldn’t hope to have a more gracious hostess than Agnes. She was prompt with all communications and checked to be sure we had settled in. Great stay and many happy memories.

I’ve enjoyed your lovely property it was a pleasure to stay in, we had everything that was needed and it was beautiful and clean. The location was great close run to Portree and easy travel to other locations we were interested in. The views were spectacular we will highly recommend this venue for other stays. Our only problem was finding the correct driveway in the dark. Kim

10.0 / 10.0

This was the perfect stay for our Isle of Skye trip. It was clean, cozy and charming and the hosts were kind and accommodating. It had everything we needed and then some. We loved how cozy the living room was with the electric fireplace. In addition, waking up to the beautiful views and saying good morning to our sheep neighbors made it feel even more cozy. The location was prime since we weren’t far from Portree and other main sites. I would recommend saying here.

10.0 / 10.0

Great cottage in convenient location to Portree and Dunvegan; plenty of hiking trails all around; only minutes away from Skeabost Restaurant.

We had a lively time at the River View Cottage. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable during out stay. The cottage was well appointed and we loved to 10 minute commute to Portree. This cottage is located within 30mins of most of the major attractions on Skye.

8.0 / 10.0

The cottage was very beautiful even though it rained the whole time there.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage just out of Portree was an excellent home base for our family of four for three days on the Isle of Skye. The kitchen was very well-equipped and bedrooms were roomy. The shower was a little unusual but there were very good instructions on how to use it, so no issues with that at all. Ample parking. Agnes was great with communication and there were some cookies, coffee, tea and hot chocolate for us - which we enjoyed! We had a slight issue finding the place from the GPS directions were were given, but didn't take too long to find the right location. We had no problems at all with our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location. SO GLAD we stayed here and not directly on Portree. Hosts were so helpful and the cottage is cozy, roomy and we’ll designed. Very comfortable for 4 adults. Perfect location for our home base 3 days in Isle of Skye.

We loved our stay in the Riverview cottage. Spacious and modern, well appointed.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our stay at the river view cottage near Portree. It had everything we needed for our 3 nights stay and served as a great base for exploring the isle of Skye. It’s so nice to have a quiet place to retreat to after a day out on the very heavily touristed isle. We had the basics for making simple meals which turned out to be essential since Portree is so crowded and it’s difficult to find a restaurant with an opening. Having a washing machine was a definite advantage since most trails were muddy. The little heating stove was a welcome treat when returning home cold and wet. The house was immaculate and quite comfortable. I would highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay at River View Cottage. The weather was variable, and on rainy mornings I especially loved sitting with my tea and watching the sheep across the river.

10.0 / 10.0

A lovely cottage surrounded by farm land and grazing sheep. The cottage was clean and well appointed, exactly as advertised. Location provided the experience of being in the country, but still only a 10 minute drive to the city center.

This property was perfect for me and my 3 children to serve as a home base for hikes, castle tours, and everything skye has to offer. The property was clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Clean and well-fitted cottage, well-situated about 10 minutes outside of Portree on the road to Dunvegan. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Agnes was very attentive and easy to deal with. Great value if you are looking for a comfortable home-base to explore the island.

10.0 / 10.0

Great stay. Fantastic house in a perfect, central location to explore the Isle of Skye. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials to prepare meals. There are two coffee presses which are a nice alternative to the instant coffee at the hotels. Overall great experience!

10.0 / 10.0

My husband and I stayed here for our elopement and could not have picked a more perfect place. The owners were very kind, easy to get a hold of, and answered all of our questions quickly. The house is surrounded by beautiful views! We took the walk over to the ancient burial ground which was interesting and definitely worth it. The cottage is also a quick drive away from Portree, so it's easy to grab food. When we come back to Skye, we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

Sometimes it’s good to get away from crowded towns and throngs of tourists - this is the place! Situated a short drive north of Portree we enjoyed the countryside landscape, the sound of sheep, and the fresh country air. There were some very nice restaurants close by and a Co-Op grocery store about 10 minutes away. All-in-all we had a wonderful stay.

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful cottage with amazing views. You can reach each corner of the Isle of Skye within a maximum of 1 1/2 hours. The cottage is lovely, the furniture and interior are homely and cozy. When we had questions, the responses from Agnes were swift, communicative and clear. We really enjoyed the cottage and days on the I.o.S.
