The property was very close to town, 7 minute walk. Beautiful view of the bay. The property could use a different coffee pot, Nespresso or some thing similar. A few utensils missing. We cooked .

Will be back

This is the 2nd time we stayed, fantastic location and the house is brilliant value for money. Only one thing I would change, the beds downstairs when you move make a terrible ratling, when you have two children who constantly move about in their sleep, they are very noisy. But other than that was great. 🙂

Comfortable House in Excellent Location

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. It was very comfortable for our group of seven and we loved the convenient location with a quick walk to the charming village of Portree. The house is equipped with everything we needed and extra points for having a dryer which our other rentals did not have. The view is spectacular and everyone we met in the neighborhood and associated with the property was friendly and helpful.

Amazing

Everything about this place was fantastic! My wife and I stayed here for the few days before and after our wedding and couldn’t have asked for anything better. We had all of our services (hair, makeup, photographers, cake etc) come by to the house as well and the size of the house didn’t make anything feel cramped. We’d definitely return

Wonderful house

We loved this rental house. The location is perfect - easy walk to town and a stunning view. Finding it the first time was a bit tricky but after that no issues. Great easy to use kitchen and wonderful dining and living areas. Bedrooms were very comfortable and great consistently hot showers. Plus having a laundry machine and dryer was such a bonus. Would love to come back some day.

Amazing

This place was fantastic. We stayed here with our entire family for a few days before and after our wedding on Skye and loved it. The size was fanatic for all of the vendors to come do their thing (hair, makeup, photographers etc) while us being able to still work around. Such a short walk into town and an incredible view of the loch. We would come back

Lovely stay on Skye Bat

Loved this house with plenty of room for all 6 of us. The view was beautiful, location perfect and the little added touches to decorate the house were perfect for feeling at home. They even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! Would definitely come back to Skye Bay!

Great Stay in Skye

Great house. Exactly meet the description. But note, house is located on cliff above beach, not right on beach as it seems in the pictures. The bathtub in main bedroom seems nice, but not really practical. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Comfortable and very good location but the price is too hight

The house is comfortable and the location is perfect in Portree but this house is an home staging house and the price is really too high; some materials need to be better, for the floor for example ; some details could be improved and one problem very dangerous on the bed in a room has to be repaired

Fantastic!

We had a wonderful stay at Skye Bay. The property was clean, spacious, and comfortable and exactly as pictured. It was a short 2 minute walk to all the attractions, shopping and restaurants in Porter and easy access to the rest of Skye. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed, including the very helpful clothes washer and dryer. Would absolutely stay again!
