Waterfront Cottage on the Applecross Peninsula
Tigh A'Mhulillin is a beautiful and peaceful place. We've just spent a week enjoying spectacular weather and scenery and observing the wildlife from the house. The house is immaculate, well equipped and extremely comfortable with lovely touches. Jamie has thought of everything. Thank you.

Cuan Beag - a peaceful sea shoreline retreat.
The most beautiful view from a holiday home we have ever seen, we really didn’t want to leave! The owners have thought of everything, from every cooking utensil, to loads of storage space, even deep drawers in the bathroom to store toiletries, beautiful cosy decor, very clean, very peaceful, just the sound of birds, most relaxing place we have ever stayed. We would have booked 2 weeks but we did a last minute holiday and had to move location after 1 week. Loads of info about local excursions and amenities in the area and also a house manual. Thankyou to the owners for quick response when messaged and thinking of everything one may need for a relaxing holiday.

Foreland Apartment
Mary’s place was the best choice for us! After a busy day, it was nice to return to a pastoral place to sit, rest and sleep. It is an easy walk to the centre of Portree and takes just about 10 minutes to get there. I have OA but was able to walk there and back several times- slow and steady but certainly do-able. Mary came by just after we arrived to check on things and it was nice to meet her and have a quick chat. The location is gorgeous- you can see country from the windows and no buildings or noise at all to contend with. Mary’s place is has new amenities and is bright and cheery. Strongly recommend this place to stay on Skye!

Penny Cottage - central and garden - 3 Bedrooms
FANTASTIC spot! Highly recommend! Right in the heart of Skye! Steep hill walk up from the center of Portree but well worth the brief exercise. Spotless place, obviously well-kept and loved.

Two beds cottage in Portree
This cottage was excellent. So very clean and comfortable. Appliances all worked well - most seem new. Drawers and cupboards to put our stuff in. Wifi great. Location close to town. The cottage is sealed well from outside weather and so was warm. The host has thought of everything and cares about his cottage and the guests’ comfort. 10 out of 10 from me.

Elysium Skye - luxury retreat
It’s hard to put into words how magnificent of a place Elysium Skye was. It was private, peaceful, and went above and beyond our expectations. It was even better than the photos which we didn’t think was possible. It was a true oasis overlooking the Scottish countryside with ocean views. It was the best property we have ever stayed in in our 10 years using Airbnb. It was a true dream come true of a destination and we hope to one day return!

The Cow Shed @ Morven House Pods
Our stay at The Cow Shed was super fun! A very well equipped and spotless pod. Close enough to Portree for bars and shops.

Millpond House - Luxurious Island Home in Portree
We had a lovely stay at Douglas and Helen's place. The property was spacious, modern and inviting. Everything was super well stocked and there were lots of little touches like having binoculars and the welcome hamper that made it feel very welcoming! It was easy to walk to Portree and a great base for a week on Skye. Douglas and Helen gave us some great tips including directing us to a memorable meal at Loch Bay. Highly recommended, hopefully we'll be back one day for another memorable week in the fantastic beauty of Skye.
