With 4 bedrooms, 2 doubles with ensuite, and 2 twins and a large shower room there is plenty of room for all 8 people.

Remote and Peaceful stay on Isle of Skye
Our group enjoyed our stay. The house was extremely comfortable for 6 of us. The bathrooms and home were stocked with toiletries, and basic needs. The washer and dryer were a great amenity during our travels. Beautiful sunrises over the water and we even got a glimpse of the Northern Lights at night. A quick drive to cool overlooks, Storr and Poetree. Our favorite cafe nearby was the Hungry Gull.

Beautiful Holiday With Sea Views
Visited the Isle of Skye in October 2024 with my 3 adult children and their families. A Taste of the Sea proved to provide an excellent location for the exploration of Skye. It provided our family a cozy place to cook, relax and share meals after busy days. It was a perfect place to wind down with a full kitchen/packed with utensils, pots, plates, cups. Washer/dryer accommodations gave us a place to catch up as we were on a two week tour of Scotland. Excellent shower accommodations for a larger group. Communication with the host was perfect and we left feeling like we found a home away from home.

Great property and good value
Our group of eight friends were happy this property was available. Although it was located far from Portree, the location and views were outstanding. The house was clean with modern appliances, plenty of rooms, good WiFi and ample parking. The property manager responded to our questions in a timely manner. We would gladly stay here again.

Excellent stay in Skye
Perfect house with and incredibile view!!!
Excellent stay for 6-8 people in Skye
Taste of the Sea is a beautiful property fir a large gtoup! Plenty of space, everything we needed. If I could offer any recommendations at all, it would just be to get some new mattresses. They definitely weren't the worst I slept on over my 3 week trip though, and they wouldn't stop me from booking again!
We stayed with extended family - my sister and her daughter, as well as my family with two 18 year old sons. The views from the house took our breath away. The kitchen was large and well appointed. IT was nice to have so many bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved the house and we loved Skye. We only wish we could have stayed for longer. Truly an unbelievable setting.
We stayed for 4 nights with 2 adults and 3 school age kids. Clean, beautiful views, excellent location. Taste of the Sea was one of the highlights of our trip. Definitely would come back!

Incredible views!
We had a lovely stay. The view from the house is just gorgeous and the location is great. Wonderful espresso and treats up the road at Burr was an added bonus! Perfect location for some amazing hikes with fabulous views that avoid the crowds of the popular hikes in the area.

Gorgeous setting, comfy house.
This is a gorgeous setting. House is roomy and comfortable. Very private. Good location for exploring the island. Serious lack of restaurants on the whole island so book ahead for dinner.

A lovely cottage
This cottage was about half an hour north of Portree, very close to some iconic Skye hikes like Old Man and Quiraing. The north end of the peninsula is lovely, the house has an amazing unobstructed view of the beach below. comfortable, modern, great communication with the property manager.
