We stayed here from 17th-19th Nov 2024 and it was in the middle of winter where it snowed and the weather was nothing but heavenly. This was our first time in Skye and thought of using the property as our base as we explore the isle. We arrived at the property quite late at night around 630pm and Jo was nice enough to wait and attend to us although I did inform the property in advance. I have zero complain about the place. The bed in was comfy. There was coffee and biscuits in the living room. The heating was sufficient. Wifi was blazing fast. They had power sockets aplenty all over the unit. Bathroom was very nice although it got really cold still. We looked forward to breakfast from Jackie everyday and she was a very pleasant character. All in all a great place to stay if you plan to use Portree as a base.

I just wished the bathroom sink was not too short.

It was walking distance to the Square and the restaurants. The breakfast was a Scottish breakfast, breads, jams, toast, coffee, milk, etc. Jim was there and greeted us and we saw both he and Pauline each morning at breakfast. We enjoyed chatting with them and other guests during breakfast. It was very quiet, except when we opened the windows to cool off our room. Otherwise the road noise was unnoticeable. If booking, be sure to read and remember Jim’s email about the ferry at Mallaig. We didn’t reserve and it wasn’t running when we got to Mallaig. I forgot about Jim’s warning and had a lovely 100 mile side trip to get to return to Fort William and go the way I should have. Worth the drive out to Mallaig anyway.

We loved our stay at Taigh Duitseach. Cosy, comfortable and well appointed room with a great view across the bay. Friendly and helpful hosts who also provided excellent breakfasts. The hotel is only a short walk to the centre of Portree and all restaurants and shops. A perfect base for exploring the wonders of Isle Of Skye!

The room was quite small but this didn't impact our enjoyment.

I had a great experience at Taigh Duitseach. Jim and Pauline were very welcoming and the property itself is fantastic. My room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. I loved the little touches such as the Highland Cow shaped shortbread. It's a short walk into the centre of Portree along a path with great views. The breakfast was fantastic too. Can't wait to come back!

The Taigh Duitseach B&B in Portree is a perfectly charming and perfectly situated spot for exploring The Isle of Skye. Right at the edge of the center of town, but not in the “midst” of the busy-ness, it’s a pleasant and short 15 minute walk into the heart of the commercial district. There’s ample free parking right at the side / rear of the house and a VERT “Full Scottish” breakfast. The breakfast room is charming (next to a kitchen and its antique stove next to a modern one) and host Jim is rightly proud of the property which was built just before COVID hit. It has an old-fashioned style but with modern accoutrements: great shower and lovely sitting room. It was an ideal “two night” stop for our exploration of Skye’s otherworldly beauty. We had the property’s largest suite: 2 rooms, one with a double bed and private bath connected to a second room with a single bed, couch and sitting area: perfect for a couple with a young child, or even two. A coffee maker for instant pre-breakfast caffeine is provided with small cookies. Also, new disposable tooth brushes. A nice touch.

all good

Breakfast was excellent - good choice, well presented, liked self service, - would have liked some non-dairy milk. Our apartment was really clean and comfortable. We liked that the location is a short walk to Portree.

The heating was at 27 when we arrived and while it was great to be warm it was too hot at night ( in October!) Turning the thermostat down meant we had a very comfortable second night

This is such a cute and homey accomodation. I stayed here for 2 nights. Service - Paulline graciously waited for my check in time. I informed them in advance that my tour may reach Portree an hour past and they were okay with it. On the actual day, she responded quickly when I informed the approximate time closer to my arrival time. I appreciate their flexibility. Room - I was booked on the 1st floor on the parking side. The room is super clean and everything looks new. The room is spacious, especially the toilet and shower. Note that guests with 30kg suit cases may find this narrow. The bed is comfortable. Amenities and toiletries were useful. Location - It took me 15min one way to the city center and it was safe and easy to walk. It is on the main road so the tour guide I have can easily pick me up and drop me off here. The location is very quiet and I slept comfortably throughout the nights. Breakfast - There's only one hour slot for breakfast but this worked fine with me. The food choices are just right and cooked well. Note that this is not a large buffet breakfast so I recommend to take breakfast early in the time slot (in case some of the choices run out). Kitchen and dining area are also super clean and has a nice view outside. Paulline also let me take away some baked treats! Overall, I am pleased with my stay and would recommend!

No hot food allowed in the room but I understand this helps keep the room very clean. This limited alternative for food at night, so booking a dinner in a restaurant or eating outside with take away is a must. However, this is not a deal breaker.

Very tasteful guesthouse, clean and cosy. You can see that the owners love what they do. European style bathroom with one tap. What a nice change from the British hot/cold system! Good breakfasts served only for an hour so everything is fresh. 5 minutes walk to the centre of Portree.

Our stay there definitely passed too quickly. ;-)

One of my favourite places to stay when travelling in Highlands. The room was very well equipped and lovely decorated. Modern, big bathroom with extra toiletries just adds to the comfort to the stay. Great views from the bedroom too! Fantastic breakfast with loads of choices . I will be back if coming back to the Isle of Skye as the island is just magical :)

I wish we had a small fridge in the room

Jim and Pauline are wonderful hosts, very helpful in providing information about Portree and the sights. The rooms are immaculate and provide everything you need. The breakfast is fantastic, Jim is cooking it in his beautiful kitchen right in front of you, they provide continental and gluten free options. The location is a short walk to the town square, so you are close to shops and restaurants, but far away from the bustle, I slept like a rock. Jim and Pauline exemplify Scottish hospitality and you could do no better for a base to start your adventure on Skye.
