If you want to stretch your legs then a walk from the door around the peninsula or up the Meall and you’ll have stunning views across to Raasay and the Cuillins.

“What a precious and amazing place to stay for the weekend, loved the cozy atmosphere in the house!”

“Amazing stay, location is perfect and house makes you instantly relaxed and feel at home.”

“This must be the best location in all of Skye. The views are stunning and great walks, shops and eating places are at your doorstep. This is a very warm, clean and comfortable house. The kitchen has everything needed for a group meal and the lounge room is a lovely place to relax around the fire.”

“We had a lovely stay at Harbour House – it really is the premium spot to stay in Portree, beautifully situated within steps of the harbour. The house is as described – stylish, very clean, compact with excellent beds. We appreciated the welcome basket and the local tips – we enjoyed the local walks even in the very changeable weather during our stay. Fantastic fish and chips readily available at the harbour within a few steps of the house to the delight of our teenage children!”

“What a wonderful stay we had. Best location. Lovely sitting in the private garden in the afternoons.”
