The guesthouse is situated just outside of Portree in a beautiful small village. It is a brand new establishment, has four rooms out of them only 2 are operational, it is spotlessly clean with the most comfortable beds and bed linens. The host is very friendly and helpful but also gives lots of space and there is a total separation between their house and the guests area. Continental Breakfast is complete with all we needed. The price was best value for money for August in Skye. Highly recommend.

The hospitality ,cleanliness and breakfast was excellent. Very sweet couple . Safe place to stay. The drawback I found was that there was nothing nearby to move around or a cafe or restaurant at a walkable distance. They had fitted a new shower in our room...but we did not find it comfortable as we were not getting hot water continuously.
