You get what you pay for
Pros:

Friendly host, kitchen facilities were great

Cons:

Horrendous smell from the bedroom, the ‘sound proof’ wall paper was terrible, didn’t work and it also looked bad. Black mould in bathroom needs addressed

Una estancia perfecta y un trato inmejorable!
Pros:

El trato del capitán fue increíble, un auténtico encanto de persona. Aunque no teníamos el desayuno incluido en nuestra reserva, tuvo el detallazo de ofrecérnoslo igualmente. La habitación es tal y como se muestra en las fotos: amplia, impecable y equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia perfecta. Además, la ubicación es excelente, ya que está muy cerca del centro de Portree.

Cons:

Nada, todo estuvo perfecto y superó nuestras expectativas.

Très bien
Pros:

Personnel bien, bien situé, petit déjeuner proposé gratuitement par l’hôte ! Parking devant le logement, horaires à respecter qui garantit le calme.

Cons:

Salle de bain très petite et pas parfaitement propre. Un peu cher mais c’est comme partout sur l’île de Skye je pense.

It was a bed for the night but I wouldn’t choose to stay there again.
Pros:

Proximity to the centre of Portree

Cons:

It looks like fake partition walls have been put up to cramp more beds in. Very small room with a tv that screen programmes in French not British. Not the most welcoming owner.

Fantástico
Pros:

Muy buena calidad-precio, teniendo en cuenta la media de Skye. No incluye desayuno como tal, pero tiene una cocina con muchas opciones para desayunar por cortesia del propietario. Posibilibilidad de aparcamiento gratuito en el exterior del alojamiento y ubicación perfecta en Portree para explorar la isla. El dueño es muy amable y te explica todo perfectamente
