Lovely cottage in a lovely location

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, very handy for all the sights, walks and restaurants Skye has to offer. The cottage itself was comfortable, clean and well equipped with salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, dishwasher tablets and washing machine capsules. Thank you we really enjoyed our stay.

Ten out of ten!

Shore cottage looked lovely online but was so impressive in person! Very private, safe, clean and cosy with every little thing we could possibly need. It was the perfect base after exploring the island. Loved the beach, loved watching the tide come in and the antics of the birds, and at night looking out for the Aurora. Very helpful and kind host also, would come back in a heartbeat, just loved every minute of my stay there 😊

Great stay at Shore Cottage

We had a great time on Skye, staying at Shore Cottage. It was just what we needed as a group of 3 couples travelling by van. We were able to spread out and relax. the views across the water to Portree and the Old man of Storr, first thing in the morning was fantastic. Well appointed with everything you need, great cooking facilitys and washing machine etc, to catchup with the laundry. A great place for a relaxing stay.

The Ideal Setting

This was the perfect place to be when the weather is uncooperative! The views of the ocean, Portree harbor and Old Man of Storr are visible from the kitchen, living room, and upstairs bedroom and are such a delight! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of quality cookware and dishes. They even supplied detergent for the washer! The plentiful artwork was tasteful and well done. The owner thought of everything! He went above and beyond to provide a lovely home away from home!

Beyond Wonderful

Shore Cottage was all we had hoped it would be and more. A lovely home with plenty of room, nice amenities and spectacular views. This three nights was the highlight of our family trip to Scotland and we all really hated to leave.

Wished it was longer...

Only 2 miles from Portree, the Seaside cottage was exactly as advertised on VRBO. It was spotlessly clean, and lovely in every way--furnishings, artwork, views over the water, every need met in the kitchen. We (3 sets of adult travelers) only wished we had a stay longer than 2 nights! The sunset on the second night was spectacular and had us all outside taking photo after photo over the water. Do not be alarmed as the roads become more and more narrow as you approach the property. We were wondering for a few minutes, where were we going to end up but there are signs, a good gravel driveway and plenty space for turnaround and luggage removal. It's a very scenic and quiet location:) Our only problem was not receiving the email that was supposed to give us entry info. Trying "the chat" function on VRBO gave us phone numbers and Kells responded with the info we needed after some anxious hours on the day of arrival. We still never got the email after that call, so we did not know what to do with our trash or bed linens. We made our best guess:) We would definitely rent this property again--it is perfect for multiple couples and made us want to "stay home" to eat at the table in front of that beautiful view:) Thank you for all the detailed items you provided:)

Incredible house

3 of us stayed here on a girls trip - it was the perfect spot to explore the Isle of Skye. We loved the house and had plenty of room. The views could not be beat. Everything was so clean and ready when we arrived. Ben was so helpful and quick to respond. 100% would stay again!

The perfect getaway spot

We were excited coming to this home just from seeing the pictures and location. When we first walked in and explored room to room, our already high expectations were exceeded! The outdoor patio, beautiful kitchen, the bedroom deck, the fire place, the bench by the water. We spent the first 10-15 mins walking around and admiring all the nice amenities and great decor. You could really feel like it was a home and not just a rental property thrown together. We spent our nights in the living room by the fireplace admiring the mountain and water views out the window. The owners even welcomed us with a bottle of wine which was a very nice touch. We’re already talking about coming back. Thank you!

Wonderful home in centralized location!

This beautiful home with rich history provided a wonderful stay for our large family to stay and explore Skye as it’s an easy 2 miles from Portree. The home allows for separate, private spaces and centralized gathering places. The home boasts beautiful views from many of the rooms. The host is very responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend this home if you find yourself blessed to be able to visit Isle of Skye.

Great location

We stayed for 5 nights at Shore Cottage and it's the perfect location to launch tours/activities when on Isle of Skye. The place has incredible views looking back to Portree, plenty of room and really has everything you need. Very comfortable and great place overall. The beauty of Scotland is something else.
