About this property

Traditional Croft Cottage Overlooking The Snizort River - Portree, Isle Of Skye

River View Cottage is a traditional croft cottage stone built in circa 1910 and retains all its original charm on the outside but has been internally modernised. The cottage is detached and sits in a rural elevated setting, with lovely views over the meandering river Snizort. Situated only 5 miles from the principle town of Portree, and a 10 minute drive to the Western Isles ferry terminal, the cottage is ideally located for touring around the island. With modern furnishings throughout, a cosy livingroom, fully equipped kitchen (with dining table), wetroom with walk in shower. Two double and one single bedrooms. Private garden with large parking area. Linen and towels provided.

Cozy and quiet
Comfortable bed with nice bed linen. We found the address a bit confusing to find. Easy parking, although the turn into driveway is tight in one direction. Lovely view. Not far from Portree. Biscuits were nice but would have preferred real milk instead of sachets that were provided. Host was responsive.

Family stay
I’ve enjoyed your lovely property it was a pleasure to stay in, we had everything that was needed and it was beautiful and clean. The location was great close run to Portree and easy travel to other locations we were interested in. The views were spectacular we will highly recommend this venue for other stays. Our only problem was finding the correct driveway in the dark. Kim

Cosy crofters cottage
This property had everything we needed for our stay at Portree. The location is great because you are only 5 to 10 minutes from the main part of Portree, so you get a real country feel while still being close to the heart of town. The view from the cottage is great too. We loved how it maintained a real cosy feel but could easily accommodate a family as the main bedroom was quite large and there were two decent sized bedrooms upstairs. This was a great place too stay and I would definitely stay again. The only thing that we found was an issue was the initial finding of the place (which was even harder as we arrived at night) as the sign is up the driveway, even with the directions provided we didn't really know how to confirm exactly what property we were searching for. This could be easily fixed by moving a sign near the road.

Lovely comfortable cottage
Had a lovely stay in this cottage. It has all you need. Very clean, well presented and comfortable. It’s on a working Croft and is surrounded by lovely views and sheep. Only about 10 mins to Portree and a big co op supermarket. Very relaxing.

Lovely peaceful cottage, great value for money
The cottage was sparkling clean and the views of the river were beautiful. There was everything you needed to cook with available and the co-op supermarket in Portree a 5 minute drive away is more than adequate. There are two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs which is good if anyone has mobility issues. Everything worked perfectly including the heating, WiFi and shower. Tip: look out for the sign that says "Deas Graemar Croft no 4 Crepigill" by the road and keep driving, then you'll see the River View Cottage sign.

The River View Cottage in Skeabost
The River View Cottage on The Isle of Skye in very beautiful surroundings. It is remote and quiet, but easily accessible from the main road A850. The cottage is very clean with a wonderfully appointed kitchen for those who enjoy their home cooking. Turn left from the driveway on A850 and it's a 7 minute drive to Portree, with a large CO OP supermarket that carries a selection equal to a large city market. We will definitely stay in this cottage again, should we plan a 4th vacation to Skye.

Hidden Gem
This traditional Croft cottage was well apportioned and has a picturesque location. The kids Chen was well well stocked with the necessary pots, plates, etc. The only suggestion we had would be to increase the signage for the property on the road, by at least 20 times. The driveway is shared with a neighbor and the sign is easily overlooked. However, signage aside, you couldn’t hope to have a more gracious hostess than Agnes. She was prompt with all communications and checked to be sure we had settled in. Great stay and many happy memories.

A lovey cottage stay
This was the perfect stay for our Isle of Skye trip. It was clean, cozy and charming and the hosts were kind and accommodating. It had everything we needed and then some. We loved how cozy the living room was with the electric fireplace. In addition, waking up to the beautiful views and saying good morning to our sheep neighbors made it feel even more cozy. The location was prime since we weren’t far from Portree and other main sites. I would recommend saying here.

Lovely Cottage
We had a lively time at the River View Cottage. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable during out stay. The cottage was well appointed and we loved to 10 minute commute to Portree. This cottage is located within 30mins of most of the major attractions on Skye.

Excellent out of main town of Portree cottage
The cottage just out of Portree was an excellent home base for our family of four for three days on the Isle of Skye. The kitchen was very well-equipped and bedrooms were roomy. The shower was a little unusual but there were very good instructions on how to use it, so no issues with that at all. Ample parking. Agnes was great with communication and there were some cookies, coffee, tea and hot chocolate for us - which we enjoyed! We had a slight issue finding the place from the GPS directions were were given, but didn't take too long to find the right location. We had no problems at all with our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
