The property was very nice in a convenient location to Portree and the western part of Skye. The location, size, and amenities make it a great home base for a longer stay on Skye. One thing to consider about the property is the shower facilities. The singular shower has a floor space of roughly 2.5 by 2.5 feet. While not an issue for myself, it might be something to consider if you need a slightly larger or more accessible space.
