Pros:

Le propriétaire gentil.

Cons:

L'exiguité de la chambrette à peine plus grande que le lit déjà petit. La salle de bain ne se trouve pas dans la chambre. Tout cela cher, pour un prix ne correspondant pas au manque de confort!.

Pros:

Ganz toll war, dass es eine super ausgestattete Küche gab, die alle Gäste nutzen durften. Tee, Kaffee, Milch, eine große Auswahl an Frühstücksflocken sowie Toast und Aufstriche wurden kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt.

Die Lage war gut, der Ortskern war fußläufig erreichbar, und es gab Parkplätze

Cons:

Im Bad roch es etwas schimmelig, und die Lüftung war sehr laut

Pros:

Localização muito boa, a poucos metros do centro de Portree, uma curta caminhada. O proprietário nos recebeu e brevemente mostrou o quarto (o nosso com banheiro privativo) e mostrou a cozinha, compartilhada. Tem máquina de café, com disponibilidade de café, leite, cereais, geleias. Compramos mais alguns itens para tomar café da manhã no supermercado da cidade. A cidade é pequena, bonita, muito agradável. Estávamos num tour na Ilha de Skye e a base foi em Portree.

troppo costosa
Pros:

colazione offerta dall'host anche se non inclusa, casalinga ma abbastanza fornita
camera comoda

Cons:

è una stanza privata all'interno di una abitazione, non vale il costo pagato (oltre 200€ per una notte)
solo una stanza comune oltre alla cucina, condivisa con altri ospiti
obbligati a togliere le scarpe all'ingresso

Pros:

Una casita con zonas comunes. Nos tocó la habitación 1 junto al salón con todo lo necesario. La cocina muy amplia y limpia con un desayuno básico pero suficiente para emprender un día en las Highlands. La casa está muy cerca del pueblo, en una zona residencial tranquila. Cama cómoda. La calidad/precio está bien teniendo en cuenta los desorbitados precios de las Highlands.

Cons:

El espacio para aparcar es muy reducido, pero tampoco ha sido un problema.

Für eine Nacht war es auf jeden Fall ok. Wir konnten die Küche benutzen und uns selber abends was zu essen machen, sowie am nächsten Tag unser Frühstück.
Cerealien waren zur Verfügung
