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.

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt
Wir waren als Familie mit 4 schon erwachsenen Kindern zu Gast in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Das Haus war sehr sauber, die Küche sehr gut eingerichtet. Es war sehr viel Platz, auch für 6 Personen, gerade mit den zwei gemütlichen Wohnbereichen. Die Lage war ideal, ruhig, doch nahe an Portree und zentral gelegen für wunderschöne Ausflüge und Wanderungen! Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war schnell und sehr freundlich,Vielen Dank für einen tollen Aufenthalt!

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.

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!

Mooie vrijstaande woning met uitzicht op de bergen. Netjes en schoon aangetroffen, met opgemaakte bedden. Ruime goed uitgeruste keuken, fijne zithoek en leuke extra leefruimte boven. Nette slaapkamers met goede bedden. Kinderen waren blij met goede WiFi! Door de centrale ligging zijn alle bezienswaardigheden op Skye met dagtrips goed te doen.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Burr

Host profile image
I was born and brought up on the Isle of Skye. Our family have spent many holidays on Skye and now as adults still love to visit.

Why they chose this property

Achachork has always been a favourite part of Skye for us with its panoramic views and being within walking distance of Portree, the main village on Skye. When this site came up we decided to go ahead and build a house taking into account the wonderful views across Portree to the Cuillin Hills beyond. We are very lucky to have a lovely house built to our own specification with everything we need in a holiday home and wonderful views to enjoy from every window.

What makes this property unique

The views from the house towards the Cuillin Hills are spectacular and the house is warm, comfortable and has all the mod cons required for a relaxing stay. As a base the location is perfect for day trips throughout the island being so near Portree. There is nothing better than to sit on an evening with 'refreshments' and watch the setting sun turn it's magic on the landscape, no matter which season there is always something different to view.
