The Lodge, Culnacnoc
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (94)
"This poperty is away from the town center of Portree and isolated, which is a plus and a minus. It is on a small road with a private gate, there is a parking space. The views are great and it is nice to be able to hike down to the coast. The facilities are more than adequate and comfortable. As the property is run by a corporate agent, there is no personal touch or direct communication. Skye is rustic, as is the location of this place. Keep that in mind. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the...

Luxury Pod Gairloch
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"Had a lovely stay in Shiskine! The only thing I worried about was the proximity to the road but so few cars drove by, especially at night, that it is no problem at all. Peaceful and quiet. The tiny house/pod is just as promised in the pictures. I had a fantastic time exploring the surroundings of the lighthouse and of course all the beaches nearby. The beach below the property was basically a private one (in October), as I only saw a couple of other people once."

Old armoury guest house
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (9)
"This property was our favorite one on the trip. The beach was so close and the rooms nice and large. Having two bathrooms suited us perfectly and having a wash basin in each bedroom was incredibly convenient. Parking was right in front of the door. The kitchen even had sugar and some other items that we did not have to get. The traditional style was very homey. I would stay here again if in this area on a return visit."

"We absolutely loved staying here. The house had everything we needed, stunning views and good location to get to the walks and sites we wanted to see. Great for small children with a cot and high chair available, even a stair gate at the top of stairs was very helpful! Everything clean and very comfortable for our 5 night stay. We had 4 adults and a 1 and 2 year old. Loved the fireplace and having meals in the kitchen with the sheep out the window. We didn't even get round to eating in the...

Shiskine : self catering apartment with stunning views
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"The pictures that accompany this listing do not begin to describe the stunning beauty of this place. The ocean and the surrounding mountains are breath-taking! The hike down to the secluded beach is moderately difficult but well worth the effort . The beach front hike provided more stunning views. The apartment is very modern with a comfortable living area, a kitchen with a stove top/oven, plenty of cooking utensils and modern appliances. There are 2 large bedrooms (one with a magnificent view...

Arriving at Eleven Diabaig Cottage is one of those moments that you’ll remember forever.
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"Very comfortable well equipped cottage with the most breathtaking view over Loch Torridon. It is nestled against the hillside overlooking the Loch with just a few other crofts nearby. Diabaig is at the end of a tiny road winding up the mountainside with what must be among the most dramatic views in the Highlands. Great walking area with lots of footpaths and varied terrain. Very quiet and peaceful with only the sound of the birds! An unexpected treat was walking down the road and having a...
