3-Bedroom House Near Portree | Panoramic Cuillin Views | South-Facing & Peaceful

Welcome to Arus, a bright and comfortable three-bedroom home in Achachork, just a short drive (or pleasant walk) from Portree, perfectly positioned to enjoy the ever-changing landscapes of the Isle of Skye.

Set in an elevated, south-facing position, the house enjoys panoramic views from every window, stretching from the Red Cuillin to the MacLeod’s Tables, with the dramatic Black Cuillin range forming a stunning centrepiece. Whether you’re exploring the island or simply relaxing indoors, the scenery is always part of the experience.

The house is arranged over two floors and comfortably accommodates up to six guests:

Two en-suite bedrooms: one with a king-size bed, one with twin beds

Third twin bedroom adjacent to a family bathroom with an over-bath shower

Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor

Upper-level sitting area with a large picture window — ideal for reading or watching the light change over the Cuillins

A patio door leads from the dining area onto a decked outdoor space, overlooking a south-facing garden that borders natural croft land — peaceful, private, and perfect for enjoying long Skye evenings.

Additional features include:

Electric central heating and double glazing throughout

Fibre broadband (up to 52Mb download) — ideal for remote work

Garage with washing and drying facilities

Off-road parking

Portree’s picturesque harbour, shops, cafés, and restaurants are close by, while walkers, climbers, cyclists, and wildlife enthusiasts will find endless opportunities across the island — from coastal paths to mountain trails and boat trips.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or a cosy base to relax and take in the views, Arus offers comfort, space, and one of Skye’s most memorable outlooks.

ARUS is a very nice modern home - spacious and great views. It has all the amenities that a person / family would need for a stay on the Isle of Skye. It is a short distance from Portree by car but perhaps too far to walk frequently into Portree (2 miles). The property was clean, quiet, and very comfortable.

Wonderful house in a great place

We had a wonderful few days in Arus. It’s a lovely modern, comfortable and well equipped house with stunning views across to Portree. The location was perfect for us to head out for time in Portree, walks in the hills and a trip to Raasay. I would highly recommend.

What a great place

This is an absolutely stunning place to stay. The view is breathtaking. The accommodations are lovely. The host is fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this stay. Super convenient location (close to town but quiet), easy to get around from). The home is well stocked with one of the nicer kitchens I've seen in a VRBO. Overall, if you can stay here on your vacation to Skye, you should. It's exceptional.

Amazing views!

Great location to explore Skye. Views from the cottage were spectacular, was nice to have two sitting areas from which to enjoy them. House is very well equipped with everything we could’ve needed especially in the kitchen. Bedrooms well furnished too and very comfortable, blackout blinds were perfect for the early morning sun and having three bathrooms was a treat. Beds were comfy too. Our first visit to Skye and it didn’t disappoint!

Great visit to Skye

A very comfortable property, five minutes from Portree by car. Beautiful views, functional kitchen, large enough for three couples (three bathrooms) but perfect for two. In excellent condition, clean and easy to navigate. A very pleasant and quiet home away from home.

Fantastic Location and Host!

Very quiet, scenic location with easy access by car to all of Skye. The walk from the house to Portree via Torvaig and the Scorrybreac trail is a short, lovely alternative to driving. The host is exceptionally helpful including recommendations for local walks and arranging to mail an item left behind by one of our party. The house was clean, had ample fridge space for provisions, and a well-appointed kitchen. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience!

Wonderful week

I had previously visited Skye when I was 21 and this year I am 70 so I was eager to see if I still loved it as much and check if it still wowed me in the same way. It certainly did! Our accommodation was perfect for our group of 3 adults - large and airy, with stunning views of the Cuillins and very well equipped. It was in the perfect location on the outskirts of Portree so it was easy to pick up provisions and get to restaurants although we did a lot of our own cooking to make the most of having the house. It was also just near enough for me to explore the town on my own and there are several lovely walks from the front door. Overall an excellent week and even the weather was great!

This property is a gem on the Isle Of Skye. Ample accommodation for six. Extremely well positioned for touring the island. We were blown away with the views from the house.

Lovely house, great location

Lovely views from the house, great location just outside portree with restaurants and facilities to hand - the perfect spot. Well equipped, modern, comfortable and clean. The second living area on the first floor wasa wonderful spot to play board games or just sit and read. The garage was useful as a drying area after trips out in Skye's autumn weather. Good communication from the owner. Nothing to fault would definitely stay here again next time we come this way. Our party was 4 adults and 2 children.
