Guests say
Faodail is a well-regarded holiday cottage in Portree, praised for its excellent accommodation, good location, and stunning harbour views. Guests enjoyed the open plan living area and found the property perfect for family holidays. The high-speed Wi-Fi was also appreciated. Some guests noted areas for improvement, including the addition of more chopping boards and pegs for the washing line.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though there was a mention of dog hair on the floors, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its convenience and the beautiful views over the harbour, making it a desirable spot for visitors.
The property is considered comfortable, particularly for hosting family holidays. However, some guests mentioned issues with light in the bedrooms and noise from the air source heat at night.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and excellent Wi-Fi. However, guests noted the lack of mirrors outside bathrooms, secure garden for children and pets, and outdoor seating, which affects the score.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

This is a lovely holiday let but the garden slopes away and is not suitable for young children. The garden is not secure and so unsuitable for visitors with dogs. There are no mirrors other than in the bathrooms. There is no dressing table to sit and use a hairdryer. There are no sets of drawers to store clothing - only wardrobes. There are no pegs to use alongside the washing machine and outdoor rotary airer. A large bread board would also be appreciated along with curtains/blinds in the open plan living area. The multiple bins are not emptied - just left overflowing.
