Guests say
Green Hill cottage in Portree receives glowing praise for its stunning views, peaceful rural setting, and cosy, well-equipped interiors. Guests highlight the spacious conservatory, excellent communication from the owner, and the property's suitability for both families and dogs. The location is ideal for exploring northern Skye and its attractions, with many appreciating the tranquillity and wildlife. While a few mention minor issues such as road conditions and a desire for more seating in the kitchen, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage spotlessly clean, with particular mention of clean beds and towels. One review suggested a deeper clean between guests could be beneficial for some, but this was not a widespread concern.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for exploring Skye's northern highlights. Guests loved the rural setting, proximity to the sea, and spectacular views, though one noted the local roads had potholes.
Guests consistently praised the cottage's comfort, cosiness, and relaxing atmosphere. The conservatory and coal fire were particular favourites, and the property was described as spacious and warm.
The cottage is well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a secure garden for dogs. Some guests suggested additional seating in the kitchen, but overall facilities were highly rated.
The owner is repeatedly described as helpful, welcoming, and easy to contact, with excellent communication. While guests felt well cared for, there is no mention of gifts, so these cannot be guaranteed.

Green Hill cottage was really cosy and warm with an amazing view. It had all the things you needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was easily contacted if you needed any help.The garden was quite secure for our 2 dogs, despite the temptation of rabbits in the adjoining field.The area was ideal for sites such as The Quiraing, Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls and the Dinosaur footprint at Staffin Beach. Portree is only an hour away.There are some lovely cafes within easy travelling distance too. A wonderful location on a beautiful Isle.
