Number 12 Self Catering

Very conveniently located with off-street parking. A short walk to Portree town and easy access to the various routes to the sights. We had everything we needed here. The hosts communicated clearly and in good time for arriving and leaving. The bread, milk and extra nibbles were a lovely extra!

No material issues, just some suggestions: hand towels in the bathrooms would have been useful, as well as a shower caddy.

Questa casa è andata del tutto oltre le aspettative, dal vivo era molto più bella e spaziosa di quanto si capiva in foto. Strutturata su 3 piani era davvero molto carina, con un'ampia zona soggiorno e un salottino a parte tipo veranda per i pasti. Bella la cucina, ampia e con tutto il necessario e ottimi i 3 bagni, che per un gruppo numeroso come eravamo noi erano davvero essenziali. La casetta si trova a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro di Portree e ha anche un giardinetto esterno. Abbiamo adorato stare qui, ci siamo sentiti per qualche giorno come gente del posto. Non abbiamo incontrato il proprietario ma ci ha lasciato tramite booking e in caso tutte le informazioni necessarie per checkin/checkout e per utilizzare al meglio i vari strumenti della casa, quindi ottima organizzazione.

Such a lovely and cosy house where we had wonderful family time. The host is so generous with many food free. The house has everything we need. It is located quite close to the city.

It was very comfortable and convenient for our extended family of 9. Kitchen well equipped and nice dining area.

There was a shortage of utensils for eating - not enough forks and spoons for 9 people

Great location and a spacious house that comfortably accommodated our extended family of seven. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

There were a few minor issues typical of an older property—for example, a cracked door threshold in the dining room and a first-floor toilet cistern that took quite a while to refill after flushing.

Location was very good, facilities were good , the essentials items was a really nice touch , tea coffee etc bread, milk , short bread and snacks too . Bathrooms were clean and well equipped . Showers were spacious , excellent . The house rules were clear .

Good space, great location, very friendly and helpful host. We had an issue at the start of the stay but was quickly resolved by the host.

The cutlery in the kitchen is a little worn out, making it difficult to cook.

Kevin and Michelle were very easy to communicate with and they were also very prompt. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear and crisp. Finding the place was easy because we had Google Maps. It is located in a quiet location, but very near central Portree (walkable from most shops and restaurants). The house has a dedicated parking spot; we had a large 9-seater van and it was very easy to park this van in the available space. We stayed here for 4 nights and were able to do the various excellent hikes and drives on the Isle of Skye. The apartment is quite spacious with 3 floors total and is ideal for large families staying for extended duration. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils (but perhaps missing a few essential ingredients like cooking oil), a refrigerator and a washer + dryer. These are very useful. The apartment also has a conservatory with a large dining table that is best for dining with kids. All the rooms have good heating and they warm up quickly. There is a small backyard that is wonderful for kids to spend their energy. In summary an excellent place to stay in Portree if traveling with large groups for extended period of time.

There is very little to dislike here. However, the apartment being old and carpeted tends to absorb all the cooking smells through the ages and releases them to whoever lives there. The kitchen exhaust is perhaps a bit weak and so one needs to open the kitchen window when cooking. However, these are minor inconveniences and overall our stay was excellent.
