Fabulous location!!
Pros:

Amazing location, right on the water's edge. The host was very informative and friendly. Very clean place with lovely comfy bed. Was great sleeping with the window open listening to the waves. The sunroom at the front was lovely to sit in. Local creole eaterie Black Pearl was mouth watering, and the Hillbilly cafe just up the road from the accommodation was a great little place. Fabulous beach with turquoise water just across the bay, and numerous little coves going a bit further north. Great for wild swimming.

Cons:

We were lucky that, for most of our stay, we had the place to ourselves, so the shared bathroom wasn't an issue. I can imagine it's not to everyone's taste though.

Perfekt zum runter kommen mit Blick auf die Bucht und die Isle of Sky.
Pros:

Es war alles vorhanden, was wir uns für einen guten Aufenthalt erwartet haben. (Tee, Kaffee, Anschlüsse, Handtücher, …)
Die Betten waren bequem und wir hatten immer den Blick auf die wunderschöne Bucht.
Das Bad hatte zusätzlich zur Dusche auch eine Badewanne.
Und man konnte auch direkt vor dem Haus sehr gut sitzen und die Seele baumeln lassen.

Stunning location and a stay that felt like home from home.
Pros:

The location is absolutely brilliant. The loch is only a few metres away. I went to sleep listening to the waves every night and saw seals swimming from our room window. There are a few small shops, cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The room is comfy and the owner, Ian, is friendly and helpful. There’s also a fridge and microwave with a little conservatory with seating so we didn’t need to eat out all the time

We’re already planning on coming back!

Cons:

Nothing at all! We loved it.

Pros:

We so enjoyed our stay at the Port House. Accommodations were clean and quiet, the owner Ian was friendly and helpful, and the view was worth a million dollars. Very centrally located.

Breathtaking views, gorgeous room and we loved supporting a local business!
Pros:

This is such a hidden gem. Ian is such a wonderful host and the fact that he's from the village and the property belonged to his Grandparents and he's keeping it in family hands rather than selling was so lovely!
Our room was large, full of everything we needed, and the bed was super comfy. The best thing was the views - the ocean was right outside our window. We slept with the windows open to hear the lovely ocean sounds. The house and the area are so quiet. Although there is a shared bathroom - it's large, immaculate and the power shower is next level! There is a toilet downstairs too. The host Ian is fantastic and friendly and full of knowledge of the area as he's born and bread there. What a difference that makes!!

Cons:

Nothing - only that we couldn't stay longer due to work commitments! Please don't view not having your own bathroom as a negative - look at as an adventure! Plus you may luck out like we did and there were no other guests there so we ended up having our own bathroom. Please support this local owner and his lovely house!
