Great property. Convenient location. It would be wonderful if a clothes dryer could be added. We washed clothes and had to air dry. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and were able to use the clothes hanger outside. Although, this would be a great addition to the property, we were aware of the lack of a dryer due to the accuracy of the listing. I do recommend this property.

Perfect location

Portree is such a wonderful town and this house was steps away from everything with a great view of the harbor. We only got to stay 2 nights due to our itinerary but would have loved staying there for a week or more!Hope to come back one day.

Great Location - Perfect for our family.

We loved our stay at this lcottage in Portree. It felt very cozy and was nicely decorated. We had a night in when it was pouring rain outside; and took advantage of the common rooms, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, eating dinner at the dinning table, and playing games in the living room.

Isle of Skye

The property was clean and spacious. The 3 bedrooms more than met our needs for a party of 5. The bathrooms were clean and easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the property and it was close to town for us to navigate to restaurants and the Co-Op for supplies during our stay. I personally really appreciated the "American" coffee maker- for a tea drinking country. The outdoor space was perfect as we had lovely weather during our visit.

Portree Perfection!

This was the second stop on our big Scotland road trip and we fell in love with Portree and this property. It has such a homey, welcoming vibe, the rooms and kitchen are perfectly appointed and the owner was a dream to work with. I will come back to Skye but only if this home is available!

Great base to visit Isle of Skye

This home provides a perfect home base for a visit to the Isle of Skye. It is well provisioned and has comfortable beds. The owner provided numerous suggestions for sites to see on the island which really helped us plan our visit.Even though the owner created a great video to help travelers find the house, we still missed it and had to circle back. Basically, it is the first driveway on the left once you get through the downtown area and swing left away from the water. You'll see a row of white houses, and this is one of the first set.We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Sidhean Dubha Holiday Home in early May

A great location to traverse the Isle of Skye. All details for the rental are clearly covered in an excellent guide book to the property and region by the owner. Bedrooms are a wee bit small and the bathrooms, while modern, require a little attention but nothing that would deter requesting it to be rented again. Go and enjoy the home and region. Fantastic time for us 4 adults!

Portree Visit 2024

House is very comfortable and great location. Owners very responsive. Highly recommended. Only things to consider: no dryer for laundry. Also, house needs a street address for Waze or Google Maps rather rely on a video winding you through Portree.
