Fantastic location. Tastefully decorated with everything we needed. Bathrooms were particularly luxurious which was a treat. We had a minor problem with the TV which Ben promptly tried to rectify. We had a follow up message next day to update us which was appreciated. Then a 'farewell' call which was very thoughtful. (We'll hold you to that skatepark request, ha! ) Will definitely stay again!

Lovely flat, very well equipped and convenient location
Great base for exploring Skye. Has been recently renovated to a high specification.

Great views
It is a very comfortable and quite flat. The views of the harbor are magical. It is a great base to explore the island from, and returning to full kitchen and great living room and dining area are a nice touch.

Great apartment and location. Co op top of road and boat tour just outside door. Had Netflix too for kids which was a bonus.

Love this place!
What a perfect experience! Clean. Has a washer/dryer. Beautiful views of the harbor. Perfect location. Walking distance from groceries, food and fun. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Thank you!

Beautiful
So inviting, very clean and comfortable. The beds are amazing and had the best sleep! Just a gorgeous setting. The bathrooms are amazing and the waterfall showers were brilliant. We had a wonderful time in Portree. We were completely in awe of the flat and will 100% stay again!

Good position
Good apartment by harbour that could have been excellent with just a few things. Overall space and bedrooms very good but shower in one bedroom soaked the bathroom floor and the light was unsafe as it was an ordinary light bulb above a shower. Hardly any coat hangers in a huge double wardrobe and just 4 miss matched wine glasses. Blind did not stay shut in one bedroom so had to pile cushions up to keep out the light. Daft things that would have made a big difference. Very clean and beds comfy.

Beautiful flat in a perfect location
We spent 4 nights at Bayview and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation is immaculately clean and has everything you need for a family holiday. The views are amazing and we spent many mornings watching the fishermen set off to sea. Even though the weather wasn’t the best it didn’t spoil our holiday, Skye is a truly magical island come rain or shine and we would highly recommend staying at Bayview. Portree has lots of lovely restaurants and little shops and is a perfect central position for exploring the island and it’s many spectacular walks. We will certainly be back again.

Isle of Skye trip
Great accomodation and good location, apartment lovely, clean and very well equipped to high standard, nice bottle of wine was waiting for us which was needed and very welcome after a long drive. A few minor things like some lamp / ceiling bulbs needing replaced and new batteries in remotes needed and one of the bathroom extractor fans didn’t seem to kick in but as we spent most of our time out and about so not an issue for us. Parking at location itself a wee bit challenging as is a very busy working quayside however there is an arrangement for parking about 5 mins away which is fine, the details about this are in the flat along with a parking pass. Overall great experience and would defo visit again / use this accommodation again.

Comfortable stylish apartment in a fantastic location
Lovely apartment right on the harbour. Spacious and clean with everything you need. A finesse would be to provide some basic food stuff (salt/pepper/milk) but other than that great base from which to explore Skye

Wonderful apartment in perfect location
Excellent apartment with everything to make our stay comfortable. It is perfectly located with amazing views of the bay. Lots of information available for things to do and places to visit. Great service from booking to check out. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Apartment
Bayview is a beautifully appointed apartment idyllically situated right on the harbour at Portree The views are stunning! The apartment is spotlessly clean and well stocked with all appliances, crockery etc that we needed for our trip. Access was easy and advice was provided regarding parking and other amenities. It is than a 5 minute walk from the apartment to the centre of Portree where you will find a Co-op and other useful but basic shops. There is a much larger Co-op store a short drive out of the town on the road to Dunvegan. There are several excellent restaurants in Portree. In March, many, including three on the harbourside next to the apartment, were still closed for the season which we expected but we enjoyed dinners at Chargrill at the Marmalade Hotel, Dulse and Brose at the Bosville and Antlers at the Portree Hotel. Booking in advance always recommended in Portree as restaurants can be very busy whatever the season. We loved our say at Bayview and can't wait to return! Highly recommended!

Lovely time in Portree at the Bayview
We had a lovely stay at Bayview. The location was perfect, and the apartment was spacious and comfortable. SkyeServiced was quick to respond and helpful during our stay. The recommendations of places to eat and things to do sent ahead of time were quite helpful.

Comfortable and spacious Appartement
The Appartement was very nice and perfectly equipped. Exactly as presented on the photos. We had a nice stay in Portree. Be aware that it is directly located in the Harbour.
July 2022 - Michael H.
Superb in Portree
Everything was as shown. Only downside is limited parking- hit or miss finding a spot. Free parking was available at church about 1/3 mile away. Only an issue with inclement weather. Otherwise very comfortable with 2 bedrooms both with in-suite. Great place

Great apartment with beautiful view
This apartment has all the comforts of home. It's exactly as represented, has everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The view is incredible and the location is perfect! Easy to get to Old Man of Storr and Quiraing for spectacular hiking. We highly recommend the Bayview to anyone staying in Portree.

Trip to Skye
Comfortable accommodations close to everything but expected more for the price. Dishwasher had "out of order" signed taped to it. Had issues with showers in both bathrooms. Smaller bath shower drain was clogged, water overflowed onto floor. When toilet was flushed, water would gush up from shower drain. Larger bath shower spray would drench surrounding floor & walls. Neither shower layout was practical. No towel warmer in larger bathroom. Power was off in portions of the unit the morning of check out. Some lights & switches wouldn't work.

Best Airbnb on Skye
I’ve stayed in over 20 holiday rentals in the past 2 years from all over the US, to London, and Rome. I have to say that the Bayview flat on Quay St. in Portree has been the best ever. The flat is wonderfully decorated, modern kitchen, very clean, comfortable beds, and views beyond your imagination. I would encourage everyone to stay here so long as they don’t keep me from booking my next visit.

Beautiful location and property...but significant issues
This apartment is stunning and so smartly fitted, but we specifically booked a property with two ensuite bathrooms and one of them was non-functioning for the duration of our stay. A plumber appeared to have come, but the issue was not resolved and in fact, the bathroom was left in a worse state than when we arrived. We received no communication, or response to messages. This was such a disappointment because the location on the iconic pier and easy, walkable access to Portree's shops and restaurants was ideal. I expect this was a exception to an otherwise ideal holiday let for visitors, but sadly, our experience was not what it could or should have been.

Portree stay
Perfect location and very comfortable stay! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Magnifique
Que dire... C'était tout simplement superbe. A deux doigts d'écrire "parfait". Le positif : tout ! L'endroit en lui même, spacieux, calme, confortable, plutôt bien équipé, très bien situé. La vue sur la baie ! Avec un peu de patience et de chance, vous pourrez même voir des phoques venir prendre leur respiration à la surface (nous en avons vu deux). Portree est une excellent point de chute pour visiter l'Isle de Skye. Aucun souci pour se garer nous avons toujours trouvé de la place juste en bas. Le seul point à surveiller : le lave-linge ! Sachant qu'il y en avait un à dispo nous avons fait nos valises en conséquence. Sauf qu'il a visiblement un souci et le linge pue. On s'en est sorti comme on a pu avec du Febreze mais c'était dommage. Mais ne vous arrêtez surtout pas à ça et foncez les yeux fermés sur cette superbe location. Elle vaut chaque pound dépensé !

Nicely appointed apartment right in the heart of the harbour
Title says pretty much all. Nicely updated apartment close to the heart of Portree. Easy walk to everything in town. The showers are amazing rain showers; so lux!! Despite it being busy, parking was fairly easy. We found a spot for our large SUV each time we left and returned. We were there Wed-Sat so weekends may be harder but they offer an off-site alternative if needed.

Bien placé et confortable
Nous y étions en famille mais parfait pour deux couples. Lit confortable, chacun sa salle de bain. 3 WC dont un au rdc Pas beaucoup de vaisselle en revanche et pas de machine à café. Bien placé dans Portree. On recommande le resto Sea Breeze juste à côté (notamment leur plateau pour 2 et leur sticky toffee pudding) Juste à côté d’un CoOp, très pratique aussi.
