About this cottage rental
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.

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.

This cottage felt less like a place to stay and more like a place to breathe again. The tranquility, the astonishing views, the sounds of sheep and horses in the distance, and the endless skies created a kind of stillness that was deeply healing. Sitting with coffee in the early mornings and watching the light move across the hills was pure peace.
The cottage itself was cozy, comfortable, and beautifully situated just outside of town — secluded enough to feel restorative, yet central enough to easily explore the area. The views from the bedrooms were breathtaking.
The host was incredibly helpful and easy to reach. We did get briefly lost arriving because we relied on GPS rather than the written directions provided, so I strongly recommend following the host’s instructions exactly. Once we did, everything was seamless.
A truly unforgettable stay. This place restored something in me.

Agnes and John were always quick to reply to each message, and very helpful when we needed support. The house is one of the cleanest we’ve ever had and the view is postcard perfect! Great window to look out when at home. We definitely recommend this property and them.Pls note, as Skye is very damp, there is some dampness to adapt to. But the heating and shower worked great! And line drying clothes on a windy Scottish day is something I recommend to everyone at least once!
