5-bed in the heart of Plockton!
Plockton is a fantastic little village surrounded by beauty. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Guillaume’s flat. Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, and very clean. Highly recommend!

Cosy Island Apartment-hot tub No fees Dogs welcome
Dry Island is totally unique. We were blessed with the most amazing weather during our stay - so walking over the floating bridge was like walking to another world. Amazing views every way you look. Ian the host is very easy to communicate with and helpful. We were with a family group staying elsewhere in the area, and so didn’t take advantage of a shellfish safari - which would be great.

Craigton Accommodation. (Bed only)
Dot's accommodation was perfect. It was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a very quiet neighborhood, we were able to rest wonderfully. As described, it has no kitchen, but it does have plates, glasses, a microwave, a small fridge, and a toaster, so we were able to have breakfast at the accommodation without any problems. Communication with Dot was perfect too, she was attentive to everything we might need. It is a luxury to have been able to stay in Portree. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Sea Front Property Shieldaig
We had a wonderful few days at Sarah’s place in Shieldaig. A fabulous location and perfect accommodation. Really comfortable and well equipped. Sarah was the ideal host - welcoming and hospitable and we would highly recommend her home. We enjoyed it very much.

Newton Marina View
The flat is situated on a quiet road clean & comfortable, good for ferry terminal & Tesco supermarket also short walk to centre of town. Recommended & I will be returning in the future.

Central Skye, Private Guest Suite by the sea.
This place is incredible! Stayed for 3 days with my partner and would absolutely stay here again. Very spacious and incredible views to wake up to every morning. We loved having a full kitchen and even cooked dinner one night after a long day of Skye adventures. The gift basket was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated! A great spot to stay away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to things where we didn’t not feel like we were in the middle of nowhere! Two or three restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Definitely recommend Seamus’s pub if you want food/drink quick and easy. Thank you Susan! Your AirBnB really made our trip!

Carbost Holiday Apartments Apartment 1 (of 3)
Had a great stay here in Carbost — the space was warm and comfortable with great views of the water (also loved being able to watch the passing snowstorm from the cozy couch). Really enjoyed walking the footpath to the distillery and pub/inn at the bottom of the hill, everyone we met in the area was extremely friendly and welcoming. Great location for accessing the Cuillins with hiking options nearby. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thanks Carbost Holiday Apartments!

Hector's Bothy flat
Hector’s place was very comfortable, easy to access and you couldn’t beat the location. The flat is very spacious with beautiful lighting at all times of the day. Hector was great to communicate with and responsive to our inquiries. The Cafe below is an added bonus.

Croft41 - Luxurious Accommodation with Hot Tub
We enjoyed a delightful long weekend at Croft 41. The house was perfect for our needs (two families with kids), the location absolutely stunning, and the wood-fired hot tub was also real highlight! Rachel is a very friendly and communicative host. Would definitely return in the future if we were looking to stay in this beautiful corner of Skye.

Stunning Skye seafront: calm, cosy, central.
I cannot recommend Sally’s AirBnB highly enough. The location is superb, so peaceful with views out to the harbour from the private garden and the private parking was a god send. The house is spacious and has everything you need and Portree is a great base for exploring Skye and the Highlands and Islands. We stayed for 2 weeks and it was worth every penny! Sally is a great host, easy to get a hold of and sorts things out quickly.

Hazel Skye Cottage, Aird Bernisdale, Isle of Skye
Hazel’s home is in an idyllic location. We had everything we needed, and Hazel was very responsive. This has much more of the feel of a traditional, personal home being shared than any other AirBnb we’ve been in. There is personality and character all throughout.

“The Old Shop” Grimsay
We had an excellent week staying at the Old Shop. The accommodation was very comfortable and was finished to a very high standard. Everything we could have needed was supplied. Robin & Michelle were very friendly and welcoming. I would certainly recommend this accommodation and if, or when, we return to Uist we will certainly try to stay at the Old Shop again.

Braes Retreat - Garden Apartment
Incredibly clean. Beautiful garden. Lovely well designed space. Great island!

Harbour House, wonderful accommodation on the quay
Wonderful stay here! The location is spectacular and we enjoyed relaxing in Portree and taking in the views without even leaving our front door. Fun shops, restaurants, and nature walks all nearby without needing to drive. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, and clean. We found the location and decor very special for a true Skye experience. Hope to come back someday!

Detached House with Stunning Loch View near Skye.
We loved the quiet rural setting on the loch with colours changing in the light all day long. The villages and towns in the area had some good restaurants and we found many places for long walks. The facilities at the house were adequate for cooking and leisure. The only downside, which did not affect us really, were some peculiarities that we've never before encountered in the many airBNBs we have rented in the past: several rooms, closets and cupboards were locked and off-limits; and many rather unnecessary "polite advice" signs posted. In our previous experience, the number of guests has had no effect on access.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Tigh Na Bruaich
Perfect Portree place to stay. Overlooking the harbor from your bed or couch. Like being at home. Centrally located. Walkable to grocery, shops and restaurants. Our host was immediate to respond for any questions. Extremely clean. Even had Netflix for the TV. Will recommend to others and absolutely stay here when we return to Skye.

Hebridean Northern Lights View - 2 bed apartment
What an amazing place to come and stay! Not sure where to begin with the praise for this place. Hosts were amazing, everyone we met was outstanding and the landscape speaks for itself. We had some strong winds and rain during our stay and in some way that added to our experiences on this trip! 100% recommend.

Amazing views, Comfortable accomm
we absolutely loved staying at Marie's place. The house had everything you need and was nice and clean. We got lucky and had a beautiful sunset visible through the living room window! The views are amazing and it is in a great location to explore Skye! I would definitely recommend Marie's place to other travellers!

Luxury Double/Twin Apartment
Kenny was an outstanding host. His place is welcoming, well-fitted and has beautiful and serene surroundings and views. Would absolutely come back. Thank you for a great experience.

Taigh Green Studio
We had such a lovely stay at Taigh Glas Studio! Lita and Carol made us feel incredibly welcome – with lots of helpful information beforehand and always quick to respond if we had any questions. The studio was spotless and really well thought out – we especially appreciated the generous welcome goodies and a well-stocked fridge, which made settling in so easy after a long journey. It’s those thoughtful touches that really make a difference. The views were absolutely stunning out the window, we enjoyed watching the different weather roll in from the loch. Skye itself was beautiful, and it was always a treat to come back to the cozy comfort of the studio after a day of exploring. We would happily recommend Taigh Glas Studio to anyone visiting the island. Thank you, Lita and Carol

An Taigh Fiodh, Holiday Annex in Grimsay.
Lovely modern accommodation, more spacious than the photos suggest. Big comfy bed and good shower. Lovely views and easy to park right outside the door. Sheena was a fantastic host who was really helpful when my ferry was cancelled. Would highly recommend as a base for seeing the Islands.

Boutique 5* Apt. Beneath The Old Man of Storr
This was a fantastic place to stay - a haven at the end of a busy day. Much thought has been put into extra touches - treats in the fridge and cupboards, dressing gowns, high quality linen - and the outlook over Loch Lada is beautiful. The well equipped kitchen lends itself to cooking in. The appliances are new and we appreciated the supplies of washing powder and dishwasher tabs. We loved everything about this place!

Number Ten Five Star
My wife and I stayed with Diana number 10 as part of our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. We could not be more pleased that we stayed here. Diana is an incredibly welcoming and gracious host. The accommodations themselves were clean, organized, and spacious with a well stocked kitchen with all equipment you would need to cook. The location itself is incredible and access to the hide makes for a perfect place to enjoy a book in a quiet secluded place. This is a truly special place which I would highly recommend to others.
