Guests say
Jubilee Cottage in Portree is highly praised for its stunning sea views and tranquil location. Guests appreciate the warm welcome, including home-baked treats, and the property's proximity to local amenities. The cottage's conservatory is a favourite spot for relaxation and wildlife watching. While some minor discomfort with lounge seating and suggestions for additional hooks and blinds are noted, these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'lovely and clean'. There is a single mention of dog hairs, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall satisfaction.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and tranquillity, with the cottage situated right on the bay offering superb sea views and easy access to local amenities and wildlife.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with particular praise for the beds and the conservatory. A few guests found the lounge seating a bit uncomfortable, but this was not a significant issue for most.
There is insufficient information to accurately score facilities and maintenance. While guests mention the cottage being well-equipped and having a wood burning stove, specific references to the overall state of facilities and maintenance are lacking.
The owners' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests touched by the homemade cakes and shortbread provided upon arrival. It should be noted that such personal touches, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed.

It's a lovely clean cottage, with stunning views. The owners were lovely, very helpful, and everyone really enjoyed the cake and shortbread. We'd really love to come back and stay again and explore the island some more, hopefully we'll stay for longer next time.

Especially loved sitting comfortably in the conservatory looking at the stunning views. The log burner was a bonus as our week was wetter and colder than expected. Very cosy cottage. Lots of waterfalls visited not just the popular fairy pools, all absolutely beautiful. Very friendly owners. Thank you

Our hosts Martin and Lisa could not have been more welcoming, not mentioning the warm lemon drizzle cake and shortbread (both to die for) upon arrival. The cottage has a warm, homely feel and provides a quiet haven on a quite busy island. Each evening you can relax with a dram or two and simply watch the ever changing seascape outside your window.
