Skyelander Apartments in Portree: Photos and Reviews

Skyelander Apartments offers ground-floor units and apartments with balconies, each providing a private bathroom and mountain views. The Apartment with Balcony has four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, and a mezzanine loft room. All units include a terrace or patio, a dining area, and parquet floors throughout.

Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with a washing machine and a dishwasher, plus a sofa bed in the living area. Guests have access to free WiFi, board games and puzzles, and a smart TV with Netflix. The property also provides a dedicated parking space right in front of the building and street parking.

The apartments sit on the main street of Portree, a 5-minute walk from the town square with its restaurants and a Co-op grocery store. Dunvegan Castle is 37 km away, and Benbecula Airport is 103 km from the property. Despite the central location, the apartments are quiet at night and offer views over Ben Tianavaig from the upper units.

The host, Karen, welcomes guests with a freshly baked loaf of bread, butter, and jam, plus tea and coffee supplies. She provides restaurant and sightseeing recommendations and can arrange early check-in or late checkout upon request. The host also sets up the sofa bed in advance and ensures the heating is on before arrival on cool days.

Families have access to board games and puzzles, and a sofa bed that sleeps three people in the ground-floor units. Each of the four bedrooms in the Apartment with Balcony has its own bathroom, giving each child or adult a private space. The kitchens include a microwave, cooker, and washing machine, making self-catering with children straightforward.
