Cairnmhor House, Portree

Cairnmhor is a delightful 4 bed, 5 minutes walk from the town centre in Portree. With beautiful views over to Ben Tianavaig and across Portree Bay you couldn't ask for a better location.
The house has been given a make over early in the year to give you a wonderful escape to the heart of the island, Portree.
Ideal for family holidays, groups of friends, or even 2 families of 4!
Come, stay, soak it all in and enjoy!

Beautiful home on Skye

We enjoyed our stay at Cairnmohr House! There were just 4 adults in our party, so we had more room than we needed. The house has a beautiful view of the harbor. Catherine was very helpful and responsive to messages. We had a lovely holiday on Skye and will visit again!

We loved the house. It was a great base for sour 3 days exploring the Isle of Skye. It was clean, had a great view, and was just as advertised. We made the short walk into town for breakfast and dinner every day. Thank you!

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 We figured out the stove & dishwasher but the videos were outdated on these appliances.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.

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.

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.

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.
