Adequate But Needs Some Refreshing
We were looking for a rental house in the Isle of Skye area and found choices to be limited. While this place wasn't awful, we would try to find something else if we ever return to this area.
Good things: Easy walk down the road into Portree for restaurants and shopping. Had a dedicated parking space for your vehicle. Has a washer/dryer combo unit (in a kitchen cabinet; hard to find).
Not-so-good things: No communication with Host; only received an day-of email with check-in instructions. It's always nice to get some communication to know that you're expected. Property could have been cleaner. The non-stick coating on the pots and pans has been flaking off for quite some time. We did not feel safe using them; needs a complete replacement. Beds mattresses were hard. The shower drains were partially plugged causing water to flow all of the bathroom floor. I ended up pulling them out and the water drained better.
Other things to note: We had no use for a hot tub and workout equipment. While there is a washer/dryer combo unit, there are no instructions on how to use it and we ended up washing a load a second time instead of drying it. There is no central air flow; the upstairs bedroom gets all of the heat making it uncomfortable. The whole unit needs better labeling and instructions on how to use the amenities.
