This was a perfect place to stay when visiting the Isle of Skye. The location is central, very close to Portree for shopping and restaurants, and all of Skye’s attractions are easily reached by car. The accommodations and amenities were excellent, especially the glorious deep tub and rainfall shower after a long day of hiking! There were thoughtful touches throughout, such as a collection of games upstairs, and the binoculars beside the chair in the living room, perfect for taking in the amazing views. My only complaint would be that the bed was not a king as advertised – I think it was a queen, which is a bit too small for my daughter and I to share comfortably. Perhaps sizing standards are different from Canada? (On our final night I slept on the sofa, which turned out to be a perfectly comfortable alternative) All in all we loved our stay at the Bothy, and I would definitely recommend it to others!

Arrival and departure where a breeze.

Everything was even better than we hoped. All items in the cottage worked. The view was outstanding and the location allowed for easy travel all around the island.

The Bothy was one of the fanciest places that we’ve ever stayed. Between the views, the fireplace, large soaking tub, shower, sauna, kitchen, I could go on- it was a truly luxurious stay and we couldn’t ask for more for our honeymoon. There was only one thing that I hope won’t turn people away from staying at this wonderful place, but for people to be aware of: when we arrived, the hot water was not running. We found what I believed to be an on-demand water heater in the kitchen, and after turning it on we had to wait until the next morning to start getting the hot water. Not a big deal, but I felt that there could have been instructions either before arriving at the property or in the manual explaining how these things work. On-demand water heaters are rare in the U.S. so running one might not be common sense to everyone. I want to add that this could have not been the property’s fault at all! There was also a power surge when we first arrived that seemed to affect the town of Portree. Maybe when that happened it switched the heater off. Regardless, we miss the Bothy already and would definitely stay there if given the chance again.
