Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Portree

The largest and main bustling town on the Isle of Skye is Portree. Spend pleasant, sunny afternoons on the pier and harbour, looking up at the surrounding cliffs. Rent a holiday cottage in Portree with the family and kids and have these views on your doorstep, as well as plenty of opportunities to experience Portree as its whole. Buildings painted in cheerful colours line the streets, making for glorious strolls through the town and all its shops. There is Wowballz, considered an extreme water sport for a great day out with the kids but also great for floating along peacefully on the water. For a chilled-out day, try the local spa, or take a trip on one of the fishing boats. Edibane Pottery offers lots of locally-made, gorgeous homeware, while Portree nature tours take you out of town and into the Scottish wilderness.

In town is the Aros Centre, making for a fantastic day out with the kids, with great exhibits and interesting information about Portree’s Gaelic past. Alternatively, the Aros Centre also holds many film screenings, concerts and theatre productions, meaning you are never short of options. For learning about history in a more hands-on manner, there is always the historic MacNab’s Inn – ask about the story over an excellent pint. Put a day aside to play around in the Portree swimming pool with the kids, or for a unique experience, go pony-trekking or on a romantic cruise with your loved one while the kids play at Ok Skate. Take a walk to Trotternish Ridge, admire the strange rock formations, such as Old Man of Storr, or visit The Storr for more rocky hills. Portree has something to offer all whose heart longs for nature, family fun, and romantic escapes dotted with stunning views. After all, the American romantic-comedy film, ‘Made of Honour’, was shot in Portree!
