Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Town: The charming town of Portree, set around its natural harbour on the ruggedly beautiful Isle of Skye, boasts a wide range of shops, hotels and restaurants amongst its winding streets. This quiet, tranquil town offers a large variety of cultural attractions too. The Aros Centre, with its programme of concerts, theatre and cinema is well worth visiting and sports enthusiasts will be well catered for by the wealth of sea kayaking, rock-climbing and a good choice of well-marked walks across the island. The spectacular rock formations of Trotternish Ridge stretch for miles along the thirty-one kilometres of continuous cliffs, showing widely diverse pinnacles and forms. With the imposing Dunvegan castle, and the Talisker Distillery Visitor Centre, there's something for everyone to see on this very special island.

Stunning place

This home was absolutely lovely. It was literally across the road from the ocean and the views from all windows were breathtaking. We had a person in a wheelchair with us and were able to stay here with no issues whatsoever. Other than a few steps to enter the home, it was quite accessible. The doorways were wide, there were two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, and a large dining room which we used to gather and spend time as a family. The home was perfect. For future travelers I'd highly suggest stopping at a shop for snacks, drinks and food as there are no restaurants, shops or pubs within walking distance. We thought we'd be able to pop in somewhere for things to eat in the home but were not able to so as long as you plan for that, you'll be all set. Thank you for making this home available for our stay. We'd highly recommend! Cheers from the USA!

Perfect location, comfy and tidy

We loved our weeklong stay at MacKenzie's Peak in the Isle of Skye. It was a central home base for our various trips all over the isle, had convenient access to Portree to pick up groceries, had a couple great hiking trail heads close by, and amazing views right out the windows. The interior was clean, comfy, and cute and had all the amenities and details that a family needs.

Rymligt hus med härligt läge

Fint och välbyggt hus med mycket bra läge för utflykter på Isle of Skye. På framsidan utsikt över fjärden, på baksidan en fårhage som sträcker sug uppåt bergssidan. Fint välutrustat kök.

Beautiful!

The house was very well equipped and spacious. Every window has a beautiful view. Owners were so pleasant. Isle of Skye is one of the most magical places we have visited. Seamus Bar is great, a 5 minute drive. Portree has many great eateries and offers a lot of vegetarian options throughout all of Scotland.
