Cairnmhor House, Portree

Cairnmhor is a delightful 4 bed, 5 minutes walk from the town centre in Portree. With beautiful views over to Ben Tianavaig and across Portree Bay you couldn't ask for a better location.
The house has been given a make over early in the year to give you a wonderful escape to the heart of the island, Portree.
Ideal for family holidays, groups of friends, or even 2 families of 4!
Come, stay, soak it all in and enjoy!

Great House in a beautiful location
The house was a great place to stay when visiting Isle of Skye. The appliances were a little difficult to figure out. Comfortable living space to hang out. Overall, a great stay!

Nice stay on Skye
We had a great stay here. The location was fantastic, 5 minute walk to downtown. The kitchen is nice and open and the large kitchen table fit all of us. The living room had a fireplace to make it extra cozy.

Fantastic stay
Our stay at Cairnmhor was excellent. The property was stunning and better than expected. Just a 10 minute walk into Portree meant this was a fantastic location and a half our drive to most attractions on the Isle of Skye. We will definitely be back at the property and will recommend it to family and friends.

Ideally positioned barely out of Portree. A spacious yet cosy bungalow. Good facilities and well equipped and very clean. A good choice.

Amazing house in a perfect location - as nice as it looks in the photos
I would absolutely rent this house again. It was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the harbour and within an easy walk of town. The kitchen was well appointed (just need a large fry pan for the induction stove) and all 3 bathrooms were modern and clean. I would love to visit this house again one day.

Wonderful stay
This was a wonderful experience. We had a group of seven and it was the perfect. The best location and the perfect size. A nice big kitchen and table for us all to eat at. Very easy instructions for checking in/out. The place was clean and just beautiful. We especially loved the outdoor picnic table, which was great for our evening of whiskey and relaxing.

Family stay
The property whilst being cosy with nice showers was poorly equipped for a group of 6. Modern bathroom and en-suite however rest of the property needs upgrading. The property is in a good location and within easy walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and attractions in Portree.

Fabulous stay
We absolutely loved our time at Cairnmhor House. It was exceptionally well equipped (particularly the kitchen, for those who enjoy cooking) and is our favourite holiday home we recall ever staying at! It was very clean and the location was superb - a short work to the centre of Portree and as a base to other attractions on Skye. 10/10!

Great location and lovely views
Somewhat difficult to find at first. But once here we enjoyed the spacious layout, the well equipped kitchen and the ensuite bathrooms. A cosy property that was easy to hear. Close to Portree town centre (5 mins, walk) and supermarket (20 mins walk) Not 5 stars as it lacked information on how guests were to use the property. On the pricey side for a property of this size and facilities.

What a beautiful house! It is located on a quiet side street and there is parking for several cars on the property. The city center is easily accessible on foot. The house is comfortably furnished, pleasantly warm and very clean. The kitchen is huge, but still cozy and very well equipped. Six people can comfortably sit in the living room. We felt very comfortable there.
