We spent two nights at Duirinish. The hosts were very gracious and accommodating, showed great pride in ownership. Good choice of breakfast foods, wonderful press-pot coffee [be sure to wait 3-4 minutes before slowly pressing down the grounds :) ] Plenty of parking, easy walk to town, hosts provided info for a great hike up into the hills. Room was... More

The room is located near the centre of Portree, about 10-15min by foot (which is very useful if you're travelling by public transportations like us) We were welcomed with a smile and nice words as both of the house guests were very pleasant. We stayed on a double ensuite room, which was most of all cozy and comfortable, made us... More

We had a three night stay at the Duirnish Guest House and were not disappointed. Janette and Robert were first class hosts, they have set extremely high standards and we would have no hesitation in returning again. The house is situated back from the road with plenty of room for parking, it is exceptionally well maintained and spotlessly clean. It... More

Lovelyhome, beautiful room, bed comfy apart from the fact the doona needed to be a size bigger, since it didn't cover the bed enough, bathroom great size, hosts both great, breakfast also great. Would definitely stay again.

My husband and I and another couple booked two double beds in Duirinish for a weekend in Isle of Skye in spite of reading bad reviews as we found the house beautiful and Janette, the hostess sounded okay on the phone. We went there to realise that this was a decision that almost ruined our holiday. She was rude, was... More

We stayed there one night in August and it was different than every other place we stayed in Scotland for the 14 days we were there. The rooms were freezing and we were told they don't put the heat on until later that night. To make things even more bizarre, the heat is then turned off through the night and... More

This was our third stay and Jeanette and Robert made our stay very happy. It is so convenient for exploring Skye. It is only a ten min walk from the centre of Portree. Breakfast is brilliant as well as offering the usual cooked Jeanette offers fresh fruit and a selection of cheeses, truely yummy! The room was warm and cosy!

We stayed for 3 nights in a very wet August. The whole place is spotlessly clean with good local breakfast. Our room was on the small side but perfectly adequate. The guest house is well set back from the road and so nice and quiet with plenty of parking. It's about 10-15 minutes walk into Portree centre. The owners are... More

My wife & I stayed the weekend in October and found everything to be absolutely first class. The proprietors Jeanette and Robert are extremely nice people first and foremost and the B&B itself is a lovely building in well maintained grounds, the ensuite rooms are immaculate, clean, fresh and well decorated and homely and have TV, dressing table, bedside tables...
