ARUS is a very nice modern home - spacious and great views. It has all the amenities that a person / family would need for a stay on the Isle of Skye. It is a short distance from Portree by car but perhaps too far to walk frequently into Portree (2 miles). The property was clean, quiet, and very comfortable.

Wonderful house in a great place
We had a wonderful few days in Arus. It’s a lovely modern, comfortable and well equipped house with stunning views across to Portree. The location was perfect for us to head out for time in Portree, walks in the hills and a trip to Raasay. I would highly recommend.

What a great place
This is an absolutely stunning place to stay. The view is breathtaking. The accommodations are lovely. The host is fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this stay. Super convenient location (close to town but quiet), easy to get around from). The home is well stocked with one of the nicer kitchens I've seen in a VRBO. Overall, if you can stay here on your vacation to Skye, you should. It's exceptional.

Splendid View
The cottage was well appointed, clean and well equipped. The view towards the Cuillins was delightful and always changing. The position is quiet and handy to Portree and roads to the sights of Skye. Wonderful place to stay.

Amazing views!
Great location to explore Skye. Views from the cottage were spectacular, was nice to have two sitting areas from which to enjoy them. House is very well equipped with everything we could’ve needed especially in the kitchen. Bedrooms well furnished too and very comfortable, blackout blinds were perfect for the early morning sun and having three bathrooms was a treat. Beds were comfy too. Our first visit to Skye and it didn’t disappoint!

Great visit to Skye
A very comfortable property, five minutes from Portree by car. Beautiful views, functional kitchen, large enough for three couples (three bathrooms) but perfect for two. In excellent condition, clean and easy to navigate. A very pleasant and quiet home away from home.

Fantastic Location and Host!
Very quiet, scenic location with easy access by car to all of Skye. The walk from the house to Portree via Torvaig and the Scorrybreac trail is a short, lovely alternative to driving. The host is exceptionally helpful including recommendations for local walks and arranging to mail an item left behind by one of our party. The house was clean, had ample fridge space for provisions, and a well-appointed kitchen. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience!

Wonderful week
I had previously visited Skye when I was 21 and this year I am 70 so I was eager to see if I still loved it as much and check if it still wowed me in the same way. It certainly did! Our accommodation was perfect for our group of 3 adults - large and airy, with stunning views of the Cuillins and very well equipped. It was in the perfect location on the outskirts of Portree so it was easy to pick up provisions and get to restaurants although we did a lot of our own cooking to make the most of having the house. It was also just near enough for me to explore the town on my own and there are several lovely walks from the front door. Overall an excellent week and even the weather was great!

5 star Skye getaway
This property is a gem on the Isle Of Skye. Ample accommodation for six. Extremely well positioned for touring the island. We were blown away with the views from the house. The owners have equipped this property with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We would love to be able to return at some time in the future.

Lovely house, great location
Lovely views from the house, great location just outside portree with restaurants and facilities to hand - the perfect spot. Well equipped, modern, comfortable and clean. The second living area on the first floor wasa wonderful spot to play board games or just sit and read. The garage was useful as a drying area after trips out in Skye's autumn weather. Good communication from the owner. Nothing to fault would definitely stay here again next time we come this way. Our party was 4 adults and 2 children.

Week on Skye - 9th to 16th July 2021
House was as described, clean and good location. Handy for Quirang, Old Man of Storr etc. 1 mile walk to Portree - handy enough for shops etc, far enough away for peace and quiet. Only slight downside was "building site" next door (burning waste products and using a telehandler / power tools to 10pm most nights). Eventually had to speak to them and they stopped for a few days - otherwise I would recommend the property - this wasnt the fault of the property owner.
