About this property
9 Creag An Iolaire sits within the charming town of Portree, the beating heart of the Isle of Skye and a place that pulls visitors back time and again. This inviting holiday home gives families and small groups a straightforward, comfortable base while putting you right on the doorstep of some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery. Inside, the property keeps things simple and practical. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for hearty breakfasts or easy evening meals after a long day outdoors. The sitting area offers a relaxed spot to rest your legs, stick the TV on, and plan the next day’s adventures.
A bathroom with both bath and shower adds flexibility, and two well-laid-out bedrooms, a double and a twin, keep sleeping arrangements fuss-free. Step outside and you’ll find a private, enclosed garden where you can breathe in that unmistakable Highland air. It’s a peaceful place for a morning brew or a well-earned rest in the afternoon. Off-road parking makes life easier too, especially on busier days in Portree. The location is the real winner here. Portree itself is a lively town with a colourful harbour, independent shops, friendly cafés and a strong island identity you’ll feel the moment you arrive. From here, coastal paths and gentle lochside routes are easy to reach, offering views you’ll struggle to forget.
If you’re itching to explore further, Skye’s iconic landmarks are all within comfortable travelling distance. The Old Man of Storr towers above the landscape, the Quiraing offers otherworldly ridgelines and sweeping vistas, and Kilt Rock delivers sheer cliffs and crashing waves. Loch Fada and Storr Lochs provide quieter walks where the only sound might be the wind or the call of a distant bird. Whether your trip is about big hikes, photography, wildlife spotting, or simply taking things at your own pace, 9 Creag An Iolaire sets you up perfectly for an unforgettable stay on this remarkable island.
Set round its natural harbour on the stunning and tranquil Isle of Skye, charming Portree boasts an excellent range of shops, hotels and restaurants. Cultural attractions are plentiful; the Aros Centre is well worth a visit with its programme of concerts, theatre and cinema. Sports enthusiasts are also well catered for, with sea kayaking, rock-climbing and a good choice of well-marked walks. The rock formations are particularly spectacular; Trotternish Ridge stretches for 31km of continuous cliffs, with many fantastic rock forms and pinnacles. Dunvegan Castle and the Talisker Distillery Visitor Centre are just two more reasons to visit this magical isle.
