Guest comments
Your house is fantastic and ranks as one of the best properties we've stayed in Scotland! Thanks for allowing us to have such an enjoyable and comfortable week in Skye, we will not be waiting another 16 years before visiting again.
A Smith, April 2011
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our all too brief stay at Arus. You have a fabulous house in a wonderful location and it’s really well appointed. It makes a great base from which to tour and a welcoming home to come back to when you've finished the tourist bit.
Cheetham – April 2011
Your house is brilliant - we loved it. We go away every Easter and have stayed in lots of houses, but yours was certainly the most luxurious. It's so well equipped! Weather reasonable and we were able to see the magnificent views from your house. We did lots of exploring and two of our party went to Harris to do a mountain bike ride. Passmore - April 2009.
Owner profile
About the owner
I was born and brought up on the Isle of Skye and my husband Bill is from the north east of Scotland. Our family have spent many holidays on Skye and now as adults still love to visit.
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Achachork has always been a favourite part of Skye for us with its panoramic views and being within walking distance of Portree, the main village on Skye. When this site came up we decided to go ahead and build a house taking into account the wonderful views across Portree to the Cuillin Hills beyond. We are very lucky to have a lovely house built to our own specification with everything we need in a holiday home and wonderful views to enjoy from every window.
Unique benefits of the property
The views from the house towards the Cuillin Hills are spectacular and the house is warm, comfortable and has all the mod cons required for a relaxing stay. As a base the location is perfect for day trips throughout the island being so near Portree. There is nothing better than to sit on an evening with 'refreshments' and watch the setting sun turn it's magic on the landscape, no matter which season there is always something different to view.
