Sam was a great host. The morning breakfast was thoughtful and the accommodation was clean. We didn’t have many interactions with our host because everything was handled so well that there was nothing we needed that wasn’t already provided.

It’s easy to self check in. Sam left goodies in the room for a nice continental breakfast. We had a fridge in the room so it was easy to pick up some yogurt etc for an easy breakfast. Very clean and quiet. Slightly outside Portree so you need a car but parking is included and you would need a car in this area anyway. Highly recommend!

Warm and welcoming
Moorside is warm and comfortable. Samantha was very welcoming and the carrot cake an unexpected bonus. Facilities were good and the family room a good size -better than many hotels.

There was carpet in the room and the bathroom was inconvenient based on what I am accustom to in the USA. It had 2 separete faucets for hot and cold. The shower was too small to wash in and the water pressure was very light. Having said that, it was a fairly good value for the cost which was quite low.

Not near downtown Portree but…. it was so perfectly placed to literally everything in Skye! On top of it the owner, Sam, is hands down the best business owner. Every little detail she thought of to make my stay amazing.

Great place just outside of portree (10min car drive), good links to rest of the island. Sam (Hostess) was very friendly. Rooms were clean and well kept with lots of complimentary items. Overall a fantastic place to stay when visiting skye will definitely come back on future visits.

Wonderful breakfast box
The BnB was located in a quiet area, not far from Portree. Host was very kind and sent message in advance to inform re how crowded portree restaurants can be and advised to book in advance (i didn’t). The room is clean and simple. She also provided tea, coffee and some snacks in the room. Our bathroom, while dedicated for our use, is located right opp our room. It is a very big bathroom. Good toiletries were provided, the bathroom towels were luxurious (Egyptian cotton). 1 thing i really really like is the breakfast box. We took it away for our hike and had half of it as breakfast prior to our hike and the remaining as a snack for our hike. I can feel the thoughtfulness into the box and each day’s is different. Thank you very much for that.

Friendly, comfortable, cosy and the best stay!
I can’t rate Sam and her venue highly enough. I actually think her house is 10x nicer than hotels.com show in their images. From the second we arrived, Sam welcomed us, showed us to our room. It felt safe with the security code entry, and she has a lovely cat who is really sociable. The private bathroom was amazing and huge, had great towels, soaps and a drying rack for our clothes we wanted to wash. The room was massive and the beds were fresh and really comfortable. Sam made us a lovely breakfast, a million times better than most continentals and even had a warm pastry to come with it. Sam was organising a half marathon on our leaving date and even took the time to let us know on a printed piece of paper which roads to use and which ones will be closed on the day to ensure our stay was extremely comfortable and cosy. Sam, thankyou for making our two nights with you as comfortable as they were and if we re visit the Isle of Skye again, we’ll be booking with you again!

L’accès à l’hébergement a été facilité grâce à l’information que nous ont fournis les responsables. Lieux tranquilles, avec vue sur les montagnes, et très bien situé pour les circuits en auto. Accès à des dizaines de pistes pour la randonnée pédestre sur les circuits. Très bien tenu et très propre. Merci!
