Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay very much. We figured out the stove & dishwasher but the videos were outdated on these appliances. The kitchen could have been a little better stocked but we managed nicely. Loved the town of Portree & enjoyed walking to & fro. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.

Perfect location - breathtaking view.

Beautiful location with ample space for eight. Very clean, great beds and seems well presented. However, some maintenance issues really need addressed in order to make this an excellent property.

nice location, few things to note

The location is great, 4 to 5 minute walk into portree proper. This is nice because parking portree can be challenging. Parking on site is nice in the driveway and spacious for large vehicles. The communication with the manager/host was not as great as expected. I had to call one morning as the dryer in the unit was not appearing to dry any of our clothes, including my 10 month olds clothing brought on the trip, the manager seemed irritated. Maintenance man came out and put half of bar clothes on the counter and ensured it was working correctly, but none of our clothes were able to dry for the next day and a half. The manager showed up at the property while my mom was watching our son and appeared verbally short and disrespectful towards my mother. The baby cot was not there when we arrived and I made sure to email beforehand to ensure it was there, was dropped off within 20 minutes.

Great house for a group

We were a party of 6 and the house was just right for us. The three bathrooms were nice to have as well. It was a challenge finding the house but once we used the GPS location they provided it got us there. The house was a short walk to town for shopping or dinner. The location was a good base for touring the isle of Skye.

Fantastic stay

Our stay at Cairnmhor was excellent. The property was stunning and better than expected. Just a 10 minute walk into Portree meant this was a fantastic location and a half our drive to most attractions on the Isle of Skye. We will definitely be back at the property and will recommend it to family and friends.

Nice stay on Skye

We had a great stay here. The location was fantastic, 5 minute walk to downtown. The kitchen is nice and open and the large kitchen table fit all of us. The living room had a fireplace to make it extra cozy.

Good stay, great location

The location of this property couldn’t be better. Quick walk right into the centre of Portree and easy access to everything Skye has to offer. The rooms are spacious but the real selling point is the kitchen and dining room. If you love board games and family meals this is definitely the place to be. Really need to think about space though as there wasn’t a lot of cupboard space in the kitchen to put food etc. But dishwasher and laundry facilities were great and tablets provided for both.
