Excellent location on a fantastic island!
Pros:

Comfortable little room, excellent shower, and having access to fully equipped kitchen was a nice touch. Location was a very short walk away from Portree centre with some excellent pubs and cafes. Portree is a great centre from which to explore the island, which is spectacular!

Cons:

Not much, really! Expect to be asked to remove your shoes on arrival, though!

Pros:

Ontzettend vriendelijke eigenaar
Erg gastvrij.
Er zit geen ontbijt bij maar een stukje extra service is dat je sochtends gebruik kunt maken van brood en boter wat is klaargezet in de gezamenlijke keuken ook 4 soorten cornflakes en melk thee en koffie kun je gewoon pakken.
In de gezamenlijke koelkast kun je eventueel je eigen beleg en drankjes zetten die je bij een dichtbijzijnde supermarkt kunt halen.
We hadden de kleinste kamer met 2 persoons bed maar het was prima voor ons eigen badkamer die erg schoon was deze zit naast de kamer op de gang maar dit is voor ons geen probleem je krijgt er een sleutel voor.
Aan het eind konden we de eigenaar niet zien en toen we weg gingen van de questhouse kwam hij ons uitzwaaien super leuk!

Cons:

Niets

Accueil sympathique, cuisine partagée pour cuisiner
Pros:

A proximité de Portree, la chambre permet de se déplacer à pied dans le petit port.
Accueil très sympathique par le propriétaire qui met à disposition cuisine et salon , salle à manger en lieux partagés . Possibilité de cuisiner et mettre ses courses au réfrigérateur.
La maison toute moquetée est très bien tenue .

Cons:

Petit détail : pas de lieu bien chauffé pour faire sécher chaussures et doudounes mouillées.
Chambre un peu petite pour accueillir une grande valise . Parfait pour une courte étape avec grande valise ou séjour plus long avec bagage moins volumineux.
