Piper's Hut

3rd September 2021:

We really enjoyed our brief stay on Skye and our 3 nights at Piper's Hut. We were so impressed with the attention to detail, standard of cleanliness and all of the welcoming food, drink & toiletries - THANK YOU! Thank you also to Alan for his suggestion on walks and places to visit, his advice to get up early and beat the crowds and how best to sort out our cancelled ferry problem - all very much appreciated. We look forward to returning to Skye & Piper's Hut.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hopefully we'll see you back soon.

31st August 2021:

Very welcoming hosts with great recommendations, kind and friendly, and great attention to detail! The Piper’s Hut was clean, well equipped and was like a home away from home. Fantastic location, walking distance from Portree and very comfortable bed. Can’t recommended this place enough and will definitely stay here again

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for those kind words. It really was lovely to meet you and hopefully we'll see you back soon.

22nd August 2021:

Megan and Alan are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation way exceeded our expectation, the finish, fitting and equipment are all of a 5* standard. We would definitely stay here again.

The best advice we can give is to follow the advice from Megan and Alan, from both their email and the info book in the accommodation.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words. We’re just delighted you enjoyed your stay. You certainly lucked out with the weather!! Hopefully see you both again. Alan

Piper’s Hut was the perfect place for our honeymoon on Skye! The apartment is fab and had everything you could possibly need (and more!). Alan & Megan are lovely and super helpful. The bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch as well, thank you! Hopefully we’ll be back next year.

16th August 2021:

Fab space on Skye! Lovely well designed accommodation. An easy walk from Portree Harbour. Spacious and powerful shower, comfortable bed and seating area. Everything we needed!! Quiet location. Alan was really friendly and gave great advice on visiting places on the island. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th August 2021:

Piper's Hut is the perfect little place to stay when exploring Skye. Accommodation has everything you need and more and Alan and Megan were ever so helpful and Kind giving lots of advice and tips to help us make the best of our 3 nights on Skye. Unfortunately we could not see and do everything, which means we will need to come back again and when I do I will sure to be booking back in Pipers hut as I can not fault it, cozy bed, amazing shower and all kitchen appliances you would need for a short or long stay.

I would advise that you have a list of the main places you want to see and look to see where they are located and group together to make the most of each day. My favourite was the fairy pools, coral beach and the boat ride where we got to see dolphins, seals, mink whales and sea eagles! I would recommend that when doing beaches or fairy pools you go early as possible or early evening to avoid the crowds. There is a car park just along from the fairly pools main car park that is free (we parked here as the road was grid locked getting to the main parking) Also take your time on the single track roads sheep have their own agenda and are often sitting in the middle if the roads!! Just have fun and take lots of pictures

Would Recommend: Yes

So glad you enjoyed your stay on Skye and we certainly look forward to seeing you back soon.

26th July 2021:

Wonderful pla e to stay. Modern with wifi, smart TV and USB plugs. The welcome pack was an incredibly thoughtful touch. Even though Alan was away on holiday he still checked in to see how we were doing and gave us high s mobile number so that we could contact him is we needed to. Would highly recommend Pipers Hut.

Go to MacKenzies bakery on the square, we picked up stuff every day to take with us for lunch.

So glad you enjoyed your stay and that you got some decent weather before it changed!

21st September 2020:

Piper's Hut is a 'tardis' - goodness knows how so much can be contained within the studio. It has everything. Comfortable, spotless and excellent value. Beautifully furnished to a very high standard. The owners have put a lot of thought into those little extras - milk, bread, tea, etc. so no need to worry about finding a shop for essentials after a long drive.

Parking in front of studio. Easy, 10-minute walk into Portree so no worries about parking there. Owners will advise current covid situation, but at our time of visiting, bookings essential in restaurants and many out-of-town coffee shops, etc. closed so take a picnic. All public places have hand sanitiser stations and felt very safe. Waterproof shoes/boots useful to have with you on Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes

It was lovely meeting and hosting you both. Delighted you enjoyed your time on Skye and at Piper's Hut!

Alan and his wife were both home upon our arrival and allowed an early check in, which was perfect as we had been driving since early in the morning. Alan was really friendly and gave us lots of recommendations from a locals’ perspective - he couldn’t have been more hospitable. The accommodation is very central and only a short walk to the town centre. The little extras like bread, milk and coffee were a wonderful surprise and it’s clear they go above and beyond for their guests. Couldn’t recommend the Piper’s Hut enough, and will be sure to re-book upon a return to the Isle of Skye.

21st February 2020:

Excellent stylish and well designed accommodation. Well appointed with all that one needs. Everything worked as it should e.g. wi fi, tv, which is important for weather in Skye especially in winter.

Close to the centre of Portree where there are restaurants/pubs/coffee houses. Also the centre of Portree is the transport point if guests do not have a car so the walk is not a great distance. Piper's Hut is an excellent central Skye location to get around the islands many attractions.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fraser, thanks for your kind words! Delighted you enjoyed your stay, especially when the weather was so changeable! Thanks for staying at Piper's Hut and hopefully we'll see you back soon.

15th November 2019:

Good website. Easy booking and friendly, straightforward and informative check-in. The location is convenient and the facilities superb. You have gone the extra mile with unexpected, thoughtful extras to ensure a stay in the Piper's Hut is a very pleasurable experience. My visit coincided with a seasonal drop in temperature so the heating could have been a touch warmer. You do invite anyone to knock if there's a problem so if it had bothered me too much I would have contacted you. Other than that I was very comfortable indeed.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hello Christine, Many thanks for your lovely comments and sincere apologies for the slight chill. As it happens, we have realised the smaller of the two radiators was not working properly so we have now installed a new thermostat to it and also a small fan heater just in case. It has been extremelly cold of late but that is no excuses - we want our guests to be as comfortable as possible! Lovely to meet you and apologies again. Alan

1st November 2019:

Piper’s Hut is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Isle of Skye. The Hut is modern, stylish and cosy. The large TV is a plus. There is everything you could need for your stay and we really appreciated the extra touch of being left breakfast items. The highlight for us was the incredible shower. It is the best shower I have ever used! The location of Piper’s Hut is perfect, being a 10 minute walk from the centre of Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your kinds words Katie! We're glad you had a nice time on Skye and at the Piper's Hut (sorry we didn't meet though!).
