Blacksmith holiday home near Portree in central Skye

Newly renovated, spacious, easy access, PARKING and stunning views

N/A

The location was great for our day trips and close to Portree for dinner and breakfast. The views are great and it facilities were very comfortable!

super clean, cozy room, warm temperature, Beds are very comfort. View is stunning

Photos showed the inside of the property well.

The house needs basic maintenance inside and out. Weeding, bush trimming garbage pick up to mention a few. Outdoor seating would be beneficial. The house sign is not visible from The street

The holiday home was spacious enough for 8 people, with adequate toilet facilities and functional amenities. The kitchen was very well equipped, the property was very clean, and the support provided for what we needed was excellent. It was a comfortable stay overall.

The kitchen floor could use some maintenance, and the garden would benefit from a good clean.

Rooms are fairly-sized. There is a nice dining/sitting room downstairs with working fireplace. It was cleaned and ready for our arrival. Kitchen is well-stocked in terms of tools and dish/silverware

if I need to find one negative thing - beds were too soft for us :-) But maybe that's the tastes of locals

The property had plenty of space for us - two families including two teenagers. Very comfortable, convenient location a short drive from Portree.

There is no clear sign for the property from the road, so arriving in the dark was a bit confusing.

Beautiful location and view. Sufficient beds/bedrooms for the number of people booked. The bathrooms were very nice.

We rented the entire home. It had previously been a B&B but is now only self-catering. Super sparse! NOTHING extra. We had to purchase toilet tissue as there was one roll per bathroom for 3 day stay. ONE bath towel per person and ONE hand towel per bathroom. Some had soap/shampoo and others did not so we redistributed. There’s 2 washers but no dryer. All the bins for the refrigerator door are broken off. The dining table is in the living room and there’s 2 areas closed off with no access. I gave opportunity for her to provide access if there were supplies in it but she did not respond. There was not an extra pillow, towel or blanket to be found and was told by the owner it was purposefully done as prior guests had stolen them—also no coffee maker. We had 5 small children and the temperature went down to 13°C in hallway. When I initially complained about the temperature not improving I got a lecture on the environment. Per owner: sheet vinyl had been recently replaced and there a 6-in or so bubble in front of the refrigerator that we all continually tripped on. The radiator heat DID NOT WORK and after hours of the owner telling me she could not reach a plumber to fix it and eventually was told the second night someone would come and still no one arrived. She did allow us to make a fire in the small heater in the living room which helped a lot. She also told me she would credit my account with £120 for my trouble but I have yet to see that. I told her that I would have asked for more as the price was ridiculous but we had made the best of the situation. If I had the chance now, I’d ask for half of my payment returned. We went to several other self-catered locations and none were so in-hospitable as this home or owner. She also told me she had forgotten we were arriving as to some of the issues, however we were sent LONG detailed information about our stay and how to access the lock box on the day prior.

Well designed property perfect for a large group of people. Comfortable practical

Could be made a bit more cosy with a few pictures on the wall and a bit of decoration. Litechen could be a bit more equipped zip

The lock box was easy once you found the property!

The directions to the house ask you to put in something none of our gps maps would accept. There is no signage at all. Except the signage across the street for another property. That’s how we found it. House is the opposite of homey. Completely and outrageously over priced.
